Bones quotes

Thank God you weren't 5 minutes later.

Booth

It's a miracle, right? Bones, she doesn't believe in God. You know? It's the only explanation, right?

Well, for some reason you got it into your head to see the woman you love.

Hodgins

When you eliminate the possible, you are left with the truth, no matter how improbable.

[to Bones] This is your one small problem that you think that you can understand things that are simply not understandable. They throw you for a loop.

Brennan

I have to get back. I have a daughter.

I know how you feel. Once I had to leave my daughter behind too. I'm pretty sure it killed me.

[to Bones] You are still the most stubborn creature on God's green earth.

The boy didn't climb into a suitcase and throw himself off a bridge

Hodgins

I don't know. Could be a jackass stunt gone wrong.

You're suggesting cause of death is stupidity?

Finn

Well, it wouldn't be the first time.

Sweets

So the way we play this is I'm the understanding psychologist and you be the flinty FBI agent?

Booth

[dismisses him] Just be what we are.

Sweets

You knew you had to tell someone who would listen. And you were right. You can't just "will" something like this away. You have to deal with it or it'll stay with you forever.

What do you know? Were you raped?

Sweets

[takes a deep breath] No, no. [pauses] Um...when I was a boy I was in a bad foster home. I was beaten. The foster dad, he did it for sport. I thought it was me. You know, I thought, if I just behaved better. So that's what I tried to do. Until someone helped me see it wasn't my fault. It wasn't. And no matter how hard or painful it is, it was better to face what happened.

Brennan

My IQ is quantifiably higher than yours.

Booth

You know what, you're the brains of the outfit.

Brennan

You have your strengths, Booth.

Booth

Well, I try

Brennan

Trying is one of your strengths.

Brennan

Booth, do you ever let me think I'm the smart one when you've figured it out already?

Booth

No.

Brennan

Because that would be ridiculous.

Sweets

You've been reading my psychology books again.

Brennan

You leave them in the bathroom. They're good reading in the tub.

Brennan

[to Cam and Angela] In high school I did a report concerning the effects of alcohol on muscle coordination. It was quite amusing.

Brennan

I confess that in a moment of weakness I took the opportunity to make Dr. Wells feel bad about himself.

Booth

He deserves it. Trust me. It's probably the first time he's met someone that's smarter than him.

Booth

If you could travel through time where would you go?

Brennan

I'm already there. Here.

Booth

What?

Brennan

Here. The difference between past and future is nowhere to be found in the laws of physics. Everything I want or need is here. Right now.

[to Angela] Do I look humble? I'm trying to be less of a douche.
