[while helping Angela profile a suspect] I haven't had this much excitement since my last baked Alaska fiasco.
S12 E9The Steal in the Wheels
Well, it looks like a junker, like it's just a bunch of mismatched parts.
CCam
Like Frankenstein's monster, but the car version.
S12 E10The Radioactive Panthers in the Party
[after Booth makes him lead on the case] Wow, thank you, Booth. So does this mean that, like, I'm your boss now?
Listen, Aubrey, if you have to ask if you're my boss, you're not my boss.
LMLinda Martin
Ronny is a creative guy, full of all these wild ideas. And after directing all the Snoozeland commercials, he decided he was ready for the real thing.
A real commercial?
LLinda
Movie. Said he was gonna be the next Gordon Welles.
Orson Welles?
LLinda
Sure. Whatever, I don't know about any of that stuff. All I know is: Ronny wrote himself a story, took a leave of absence from work and went off to make his movie.
Huh.
LLinda
This movie was all Ronny could think about. It was going to be his Citizen Crane.
CCam
Geez, Hodgins. You cannot just roll up on me like that.
I'm in a wheelchair, Cam. I have no choice but to roll up on you.
[Booth and Aubrey visit a set where a commercial is being filmed]
The one thing I learned about these guys, these creative types, they're definitely a breed of their own.
[...]
Oh, dear God, this is like spring break on bath salts.
KKirby
You guys are with "F.B.I"? I haven't heard of them. Are they new?
[deadpan] You haven't heard of the Federal Bureau of Investigation.
KKirby
Oh, that FBI. (laughs) Bummer. I thought you guys were, like, Hollywood agents. Real agents.
We are real agents. Investigating a real murder.
I thought that I was supposed to be lead on the case, here.
I'm just trying to help.
Appreciate that, but you keep telling me where to go, what leads to follow, wouldn't even let me drive to the movie location.
You're like a turtle behind the wheel. You're like−−
What?
[grits his teeth in frustration] A turtle. We would've still been in the parking lot if you were driving, Aubrey.
We would've got there. That's my point. You know, you got to let me work my own pace, here.
Fine.
How important do you think it is for us to love what we do?
Uh, well, it, it's important, but it's not everything. Most people don't love their jobs. They don't even like them. They do them because they have to.
What if they didn't have to?
If you can afford to leave an unfulfilling job, why wouldn't you?
S12 E11The Day in the Life
What can I get you, lovely lady? What do you have? We've got the Saroyan Sling, the Arast-ini, the Pookie Noodlin'...
You did not name a drink the Pookie Noodlin'.
All right, it's not on the menu, but I'll whip you up one special.
Zack, you sure you want to represent yourself? I mean, we can request a continuance.
No, I've had many years to study courtroom procedure. I am ready.
Zack will be fine. Besides, the opposing lawyer is––
[Caroline suddenly appears in front of them.]
Is a fierce vision by the name of Caroline Julian? Is that what you were going to say, Cher? [glares at Brennan]
No.
S12 E12The End in the End
I just got word from the team that went after Kovac.
Please tell me that son of a bitch is either dead or in custody. And if I have a choice, I choose dead.
If the thing that made me me is gone who am I?
You're the woman I love. You're the one who kissed me outside of a pool house when it was pouring rain. You took me to shoot Tommy guns on Valentine's Day. That's who you are. You're the one who proposed to me with a stick of beef jerky in her hand, even though you're a vegetarian. You're the Roxie to my Tony, and the Wanda to my Buck. Who else is gonna sing "Hot Blooded" with me? Hmm? And besides we're way better than Mulder and Scully.
I don't know what that means.
I don't care if you know about the bones or if we know how to solve crimes. All I know is that I want to spend the rest of my life with you. This is you. Temperance Brennan. You. You're my partner. Don't forget that.
New equipment? Whoa. Seriously? What exhibit did you guys steal this from?
CCam
No. Actually, it was all donated from the biochem department at Georgetown. They came calling almost immediately after the bomb went off.
[grins] Squints of the world unite, baby.
You almost went and got yourself killed, again. When are you ever gonna stop doing that?
Probably never.
You and your damn sense of duty. Do you have any idea how stressful it is for me to have such a brave friend?
Well, you know the saying. Once a Ranger, always a Ranger.
That's not the Ranger slogan, Aubrey.
Oh. I'm thinking of Power Rangers.
