S8 E4The Tiger in the Tale

When I am President, killing tigers will be a death penalty offense.

Whoa. The President isn't actually a dictator, Bones.

S8 E5The Method to the Madness

[At the crime scene]

[about Sweets] He's going through an "early life crisis". Good luck.

Good luck??? I don't need luck. This is not about luck. [Cam looks at him] This is about a friend extending to another friend. Like an olive branch. [frustrated] Stop. Can we just stop and deal with this here, the remains...

[Hodgins hands Cam a bag of remains and human organs spill out onto the floor.]

Ohhh. No guts, no glory.

[shows Sweets into Parker's room] Parker won't be visiting us for a couple of months so...sorry about all the junk and toys.

Oh, no...beats the hell out of my office. Look at all this stuff. Kids from broken homes really rake in the material goods by way of compensation. [Booth stares at Sweets]

Right. [takes a photo from a case file and hands it to Sweets] Take a look at this. Take a closer look, all right?

[takes photo from Booth] What? [looks at photo and grimaces in disgust] Oh my god!! This corpse is so mutilated!!

I am starting a pool on how long Sweets lasts with Booth and Brennan. I say he's out tonight. [...] So are you in on the pool?

[...]

I give Sweets four days.

[...] So, Angie? How long do you give Sweets.

[chuckles] I say he lives with them permanently from now on.

[...]

[...] What do you mean "from now on"?

I mean for the forseeable future. They will adopt him.

I don't have a box for "infinity".

What kind of freak feels nostalgic over human sacrifice?

I'm gonna go ahead and plead the fifth on that.

Bones!

Yes?

Is Sweets in our bathroom?

Yes. Should I have put a note on the door?

Well, a little warning would've been nice. What's he doing in our bathtub?

Jets.

Our jets. In our bathtub.

Societies in Japan and Turkey encourage public bathing. [Booth looks at her, unamused] In modern day Finland...

Finland?!! Woah, woah, this is not Finland!

[comes out with only a towel wrapped around his waist while Booth turns and glares at him] Sorry, Booth, I should've locked the door, huh?

[innocently] Because you've played on so many sports teams and spent a lot of time in the Army I assumed you were comfortable with male nudity.

You know, fear of nudity is called gymnophobia.

Oh, listen, psychology and anthropology, I liked it better when you two were fighting, all right? [glances at Sweets] Are we done with our bathtub?

Yeah

Yeah. [turns to Brennan] I like to soak in our tub. After work. [turns to go up the stairs]

If you'd seen Booth's x-rays you'd understand. The list of bones that he hasn't broken is shorter than the ones that he has. [Booth puts his arms up in frustration, glares at Brennan]

The artisan world. That is why I studied art in the first place. To pursue my true passion.

[jokingly] Hey! I thought I was your true passion.

Artisans go into business because they're passionate about the products they create.

That is so un-American.

S8 E6The Patriot in Purgatory

All I did was get her to watch a basketball game instead of another rerun of Nova.

That's it?

Yeah. Next thing I know, she's reading all about Phil Jackson.

Well, you really didn't do much then, did you?

[mocking] Oh really. I didn't do much. I did get her to stop watching Nova.

You're right. Good point. Sorry.

And because of that, her squint squad has identified eighteen sets of remains. [shows Sweets a stack of files]

That's impressive.

[smiles] Good. I'm so glad you feel that way because it is your responsibility to notify all the surviving relatives. [dumps the files into Sweets' arms]

What??? Me?

Criminal victims, missing persons, all comes under the FBI.

What about you??

Me? [scoffs] I'm a special agent. I beat up bad guys and I leap over things.

[unamused] You're describing Superman.

Exactly. You ever hear of Superman picking up a telephone? [smirks and goes into his office while Sweets walks away, grumbling to himself]

I have looked into every 9/11 conspiracy. All of them. None of them hold up. Or, I should say, only one of them does. We were attacked by extremists who hated everything we represent. We might not be angels but no one deserved to die that day. No one.

We went to Afghanistan because of those attacks. No matter how bad it got we would never leave anyone behind.

This was not the work of religion, it was arrogance, it was hypocrisy, it was hate. Those horrible men who hijacked those planes hijacked my religion that day too. They insulted my God. So no, this isn't too difficult. It's a privilege to be able to serve this victim, to be able to show him care and love that was so absent that day.
