Bones · Season 8, Episode 6

Booth and Sweets in “The 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]
