If I've learned anything from being in this chair it's that happiness comes from accepting what you have.
S12 E2The Brain in the Bot
That is one of the many benefits of growing older, we grow wiser in the process.
S12 E3The New Tricks in the Old Dogs
What is with the breath coming through the back right now? It smells like death warmed over almost like a toxic blast of camel butt.
[looks offended] Wow. This is a black kale chia smoothie.
Why? Why are you drinking that? Did you lose a bet or something?
Do you have an infected lesion?
What? Why would you even ask that?
Well, black kale is high in vitamin K and antioxidants, both of which promote healing.
Jessica just thought maybe it'd be a good idea if I went on a junk food cleanse.
Go back to the donuts because that just smells like monkey ass.
I'm a sniper, you hear me, and snipers, they do not fire blanks.
And in that analogy, my ovaries are what, target practice?
Booth, I found something.
She found something.
FFrancis
Oh, my Is this where he died?
No, this is where he went to heaven.
My husband is euphemistically referring to sex. By the sheer quantity––
[interrupts] You're gonna need a new cleaning service. So who was Mr. Felbeck seeing?
By seeing, he means in-intercourse.
Angela, is this one of the computers from the retirement home?
Yeah. And you won't believe what I'm finding.
I assume you're referring to pornographic material?
Enough to make a teenage boy blush. You'd think at a certain age enough would be enough.
Not for the male of the species. They are biologically programmed to keep wanting sexual gratification. Which is why I told Booth he needs to get a vasectomy.
Unlike Booth, I am an equal opportunity accuser. See, I don't care about sex, age...just motive and opportunity.
S12 E4The Price for the Past
I hear Aldo was in rough shape. What was going on with him?
I don't know, Caroline. I hadn't spoken to him for over a year.
If I know you, you tried.
You know what? I'm not gonna let myself off the hook on this one, all right? Anytime I needed anything, anything, Aldo was always there for me.
I'm sure that goes for the other men in your unit, too.
What does that mean?
He took on all their troubles.
Moving forward, there is only one thing you can do for Aldo.
Look, if you're gonna tell me to forgive myself, please don't.
Forgiveness would be ineffective.
Okay then, what? I mean, what works?
Revenge.
That's not me. I mean, there are rules.
You will follow those rules. The act of bringing a murderer to justice is, anthropologically speaking, a form of revenge. You have suffered a loss. Making the killer suffer for that loss will help.
Yeah, well, I hope so, Bones. Because right now I couldn't feel much worse.
It didn't go well with the men?
These guys saw hell. You know, most of them are still paying the price.
You feel the effects of war, too, Booth.
Yeah. Yeah, but I got lucky. I got a great family and great life. Got all this.
You're an addict, just like Aldo.
Yeah.
Unlike him, you got help.
Yeah. But you're in my corner. That's the difference. Aldo had no one.
Look, there's something else that I've been thinking about. I want you to know that I'm not him [his father].
Uh, I know that, Aubrey.
[chuckles nervously] He left his wife, he left me. You know, I would-- I would never ever do that.
What are you saying?
I'm saying that when I commit to something, it's real. That I'm serious about us. [looks at Jessica staring at him] Did I say the wrong thing?
No. Of course not, Aubrey...but there's a lot going on...
I know. And when it's all taken care of, I'm gonna feel the same way.
S12 E5The Tutor in the Tussle
Cartoons upset me as a child.
More of an Addams Family kid?
Twilight Zone reruns actually.
CCam
Everything about you makes more sense now.
You know, my old man, he was a piece of work.
Yeah, he drank, right?
Yeah. He drank, and he beat the crap out of me and my brother, till Pops took us in.
I guess neither one of us drew very well in the fatherhood lottery.
Well, you know, with my dad, he died a while back. I never got a chance to really confront him. Tell him how I really feel, you know, man-to-man.
[to his father] Don't ever take credit for how I turned out, okay? Any good in me was despite having you as a father.
S12 E9The Steal in the Wheels
[Dr. Gordon Wyatt visits Booth's office with a plate of petit fours and notices Aubrey looking at it.]
Agent Aubrey, if you were to yield to your desire, rather than fight it, I think you might be able to return to the matter in hand.
Is it that obvious?
You're drooling like a Great Dane. I'll take that. [Aubrey reaches out to the plate to take a petit four] They're for me.
Please, gentlemen, don't fight over them. There are plenty to go 'round.
[looks defiantly at Booth] Plenty.
Share. Good children share, don't they?
