Bones · Season 11
[upon Seeley Booth taking a bite of her edible, gelatinous brain mould prop] Whoa, Booth! That wasn't a model; that was an actual brain I brought back from the lab.
Ugh, oh, God!
Gotcha!
Murder is never humourous unlike my prank which was objectively humourous.
Pagan symbols, a headless corpses, Hallowe'en—is it just me, or is something other-worldly going on here?
[enters offscreen] That sounds like our department. [cuts to show Abbie Mills and Ichabod Crane standing at the door]
Benjamin Franklin invented Sex on the Beach?
He called it Fondle in the Forest, but…
[laughing] Now you're just making things up.
You'll never know.
Eternal rest is for unimportant men. [resurrects General William Howe]
[on Pandora] She wants to raise fear, and she has the perfect night: Hallowe'en.
[to NSA Agent Gill] And I'm afraid I don't work for you, I don't answer to you and until I see a court order saying I have to share information with you, I'm gonna have to ask you to leave the building.
I'm not saying what Greystream Solutions does is right.
But you're saying you dislike what Vivian did as much as they do.
Okay, and you're okay with what she did?
I take the long view, the historical view. George Washington, in his day, was considered a traitor.
Oh, okay, well, now you're just trying to piss me off.
Washington was a British subject who led an army against his own country.
It's not the same thing.
How do we know? Sitting here today, how do we know if history will look at Vivian Prince as a patriot agitating for change or a traitor to her country?
You know what, I'm sorry, Bones, but it doesn't take me 200 years for me to know that she was wrong. I'll catch her killer, but Vivian Prince was wrong.
There's very little that I can disclose that isn't above your clearance level. I'm here purely as a courtesy.
Did you kill Vivian Prince?
Bones, not exactly where I was gonna start.
Well, if he's being difficult, we might as well cut to the chase.
I like her style.
I'll bring in Gill.
Uh, no, you can't.
But we have to. He is very likely the last person to see Vivian alive.
If you bring Gill in, whoever killed Vivian is gonna know who "The American" is. You might as well pull the trigger yourself.
Well, maybe he should've thought of that before he committed treason.
Booth, there's got to be some way you can meet with this guy and talk to him in secret.
This guy put dozens of agents' lives in jeopardy. What, you want me to give him some kind of special treatment?
He was trying to do the right thing.
Stop right there, okay? You never served. You don't get the right to defend this guy.
I'm just saying, Booth––
[interrupts] What you're saying is that it's okay for this guy to put other people in danger. You know what? It's not.
Oh, this is where the victim was before he died-- the Frontier Games. It's a weekend-long, role-playing, Old-West-style shooting competition.
[...]
The next Frontier Games will be taking place this weekend.
[sighs] Why do I have a feeling Booth already knows this?
[Aubrey, Brennan and Booth are at the diner]
Undercover? Seriously?
Well, the likely suspects are the participants. [hands Brennan some notes] Look.
85% of the competitors are repeat guests from all over the Eastern Seaboard.
Which is exactly why we have to go undercover. Because if we don't, we're gonna have to coordinate branches in seven different states, we're never gonna find the suspects––
Oh. You just want to dress up and play cowboy for the weekend.
Yeah, well, if I can do that and solve a crime, why, who wouldn't want to do that?
[after Booth intentionally messes up in the shooting competition] You're not doing very well, Booth. You didn't even make the board.
I'm not even trying.
I feel so foolish.
Why do you feel so foolish?
All of this, all of it! Ah. It's so irrational. I mean, how could I think that flirting with another man and besting you at a game of skill would have a positive effect on our relationship?
Wait a second. First of all, if you think I'm worried about you running off with some doughy guy who's dressed in some U.S. Marshal's outfit that's way too tight, you're wrong. Secondly, besting me? I'm a trained sniper. I could win this competition blindfolded. The only reason I'm not doing it is 'cause I don't want to raise any eyebrows.
[Aubrey turns up at the bar while a fight is going on.]
Aubrey, what are you doing here??
Isn't it obvious? I'm your posse!
[shows his FBI credentials] There's a new sheriff in town, and his name is Special Agent Seeley Booth. And you're under arrest for the murder of Stanley Belridge.
And I'm not Wanda. I'm Dr. Temperance Brennan. I'm also the mother of his children. [sees Glen and Franny's crestfallen look] That's right. Sorry.
