“Why are you mad at me?” – Brennan, Bones ... TV Quotes Database

Why are you mad at me?

Forget it.

No, you can't say forget it to your partner. You taught me that.

I just don't like the idea that my partner thinks that me and Jacob Broadsky are alike.

You are similar in many ways.

[sarcastically] Great! Thanks, Bones.

But not in the most important way. How can I put this in a way that you will understand?

Try to say it in teeny tiny words.

Okay. Broadsky is bad. You are good. That's as simply as I can put it.

[laughs] You don't believe in absolutes like good or bad, all right? You think it's where people stand.

From where I stand, you are good and Broadsky's bad.

Thanks for standing there, Bones.

I'm standing right beside you, Booth, like always. Like I always will. I'm being metaphorical, of course, because we are currently sitting.

Thank goodness, because I thought I'd shrunk.

[laughs] That's funny, because you made a joke based on relative position, which goes back thematically to our discussion of situation morality.

Ha! That's not why it's funny.

Tell me another one!
