Bones Season 2 quotes

Brennan

Had it occurred to you that God is a lot like the Gravedigger?

Booth

(stammers) What? What?!

Brennan

He lays down the rules, no way to question Him or negotiate, then it's almost as though He doesn't care how it works out. Either you do as He says, make some sacrifices and are delivered, or you don't and you end up in Hell.

Booth

You know what I'd appreciate? If you didn't say things like that, because I really don't want to get struck by lightning.

Brennan

You go to church every Sunday?

Booth

Yes, I do.

Brennan

Can I come with you?

Brennan

Why? It might help me to understand.

Booth

I am not gonna help you disrespect God in His own house, okay? If you wanna do some kind of, you know, anthropological study, turn on the religious channel.

Zack

The amount of blood suggests that at least one of them bled out. Probably the one with the injuries. I've also noted a constellation of identical non-metric variants. Extraforamina.

Booth

Does that mean they were twins?

Brennan

How did you know?

Hodgins

Can this possibly work?

Brennan

I'm not really an explosives expert, but the dash might shape the charge enough to blow out the windshield. If we're less than four feet beneath the surface, this charge could blow us to freedom.

Hodgins

And if we're buried more than four feet deep?

Brennan

Then the concussion will turn our brains into jelly.

Hodgins

Well, then we can run for Congress, so it's a win-win.

Brennan

Booth will find us.

Hodgins

You have a lot of faith in Booth.

Brennan

No, faith is an irrational belief in something that is logically impossible. Over time I have seen what Booth can do. It's not faith.

Hodgins

No offense, and I'm not just saying this because you filleted me with a knife, we are out of air. We don't know if our message got out, much less if anyone understood it, and we are buried underground. What you have is faith, baby. (Brennan laughs) Sorry, the "baby" thing is a reflex...

Angela

Did you try just dialing the number?

Booth

(agitated) I tried all the dumb guy normal stuff, okay? That's why I'm talking with the brain trust, alright? (slaps monitor with text message) Think! Eggheads, work it!

Brennan

Four to six seconds to enter a message and hit speed dial.

Hodgins

I figured out a text message using eight key strikes.

Brennan

How's your text messaging?

Hodgins

Thumbs like lightning. I can do it.

Hodgins

Someone ran me down with a car.

Brennan

We knew that already.

Hodgins

Yeah, but now that we've proved it, I find I'm really annoyed.

Zack

Dr. Brennan doesn't like it when we jump to conclusions.

Cam

I'm sure she'll appreciate we're on a deadline.

Booth

God does not make mistakes.

Angela

I don't know - putting testicles on the outside doesn't seem like such a good idea.

Hodgins

Aluminum.

Brennan

Aluminum.?

Hodgins

Well, the Brits say "aluminium", but that sounds so, well... British.

Booth

God doesn't make mistakes.

Angela

Mmm, I don't know. Putting testicles on the outside didn't seem like such a great idea. [Booth nods in reluctant agreement.]

Brennan

What are we surrounded by?

Hodgins

Pain. Despair. And a subsoil accumulation of agglutinated aridisols.

Brennan

Dirt.

Hodgins

You know I don't like the term dirt.

Brennan

Tell me something I don't know.

Brennan

What I'm going to do is make a long incision in the fascia to release the pressure inside.

Hodgins

And how--how long is a "long incision?"

Booth

Cause of death?

Brennan

Well, since I can't find a skull, I'd say... his head got cut off.

My palms perspired profusely during that film.
