Bones · Season 5, Episode 4

Booth and Brennan in “The Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood”

It takes a village, Bones.

I beg your pardon?

A village to raise a kid properly! It takes a village!

Metaphorically. It doesn't mean we must all grow up in hamlets of 800 people or less.

Thanks. Will you be my village?

Huh?

I need Parker to know that I lead a full and rewarding life.

But you don't.

What?? Yes, I do!

No, you don't. You work too much, you don't socialize, all which prevents you from having a sex life.

Okay, let's take a hint from the suburbs and just make it look good.

Wait, you to know if I'll help you fool your son into thinking your life is gratifying?

Yeah! Will you do it?

Well, how?

Come to dinner with us, have fun, laugh at my jokes.

That might actually turn out to be fun, thus becoming a self fulfilling desire.

Right! So, you'll do it?

Yes! I will be your hamlet of 800 people or less.
