[Sweets and Booth are video-conferencing. Sweets is in his office while Booth is pacing around the set and looking at all the props.]
You know, the criminal records are not surprising. The entertainment industry has its own set of norms. Not only is bad behavior rarely punished, it's often rewarded. [pauses] Wow. Why does your office look like the command center in some super villain submarine?

[While Booth is talking with Sweets, Blaine Conway, who portrays Andy Lister, a fictional portrayal of Booth in Brennan's book, comes from behind and tackles him. Booth instinctively and quickly subdues him.]
[groans] Woah. Wow. I do my own stunts but you are awesome!
[annoyed] What the hell are you doing?! I could've killed you! [pulls Blaine up by his tie] Get up!
[in disbelief after witnessing what just happened] Unbelievable! No sense of mortality at all! Completely delusional!
[points to screen at Sweets] Who's the big head?
It's the FBI shrink.
[to Sweets] I was just trying to show him how I'm gonna play Lister. I mean this guy's like Steve McQueen man. [points to Booth] I gotta do him justice!

[Blaine leaves after being questioned by Booth and exits the set doing an exaggerated impression of an FBI agent.]
[to Sweets] You see what I gotta deal with? His belt buckle says "cooky".
I can see the McQueen thing.
Yeah?
A little bit.
