S5 E12The Proof in the Pudding

Were you aware that JFK had scarlet fever in childhood?

Hodgins informed me of that fact, yes.

Scarlet fever can cause osteomyelitis.

It's very rare, Cam. It can happen in approximately one in a hundred cases. It's statistically unlikely that it was Kennedy.

You're a good person. I will never forget what you did for him.

[...]

[offers Brennan his arm before crossing the street] Shall we?

[smiling] We shall.

You know, you must think I'm crazy for being so happy that it wasn't JFK.

I'm very impressed. You wanted the truth, even if it was going to hurt you.

I learned that from you.

Really?

Yeah. I mean, sometimes you have to go with your brain over of your gut.

That's nice, but I prefer that you always go with your brain over your gut, because your gut cannot think.

Your brain can't digest a breakfast burrito. I'm just saying, to each their own!

To each their own.

AHAndrew Hacker

[on the phone to Booth] Booth, are you being held against your will?

[scoffs] C'mon. I can get out if I wanted to.

That's not the question I asked you. I asked you, is an agent of the FBI being held by persons unknown against his will?

Yeah. We all are.

Then on behalf of the FBI I am annoyed by their arrogance.

[Sweets, Hodgins and Angela watch on as Booth single-handedly takes on the three GSA agents assigned to lock down the lab.]

GGSA Agent

[corners Booth] What've you got, feeb?

[Cam cringes as Booth kicks the agent in the groin and subdues him.]

[handcuffing the agent] Good old American classic on that one, pal.

[laughs and applauds] Oh my god!

Man, you Butch Cassidy'd them!

[cheers] That was totally ninja! Maybe some anger issues there but you kicked ass!

[Hacker enters building with SWAT]

[via megaphone] Stand down and drop your weapons! This facility is officially under the jurisdiction of the Federal Bureau of Investigation. [Booth looks at him incredulously] Aw man. Ten seconds earlier and I would've been the hero right?

S5 E13The Dentist in the Ditch

The spider eggs were on the body before it was encased in the clay. The heat in the lab caused the eggs to hatch and when you shone your flashlight they headed for the light.

NMMr. Nigel-Murray

Based on mandibular indentation, the victim is late-twenties, early-thirties.

Dr. Hodgins, I can still see one in his mouth.

These badboys are frontinella communis. They're non-poisonous.

Yeah, but still with those gross spider faces and legs, though.

[...]

Are you okay there, Dr. Saroyan?

I'm just itchy all over. I'm gonna go burn all of these clothes and maybe my hair.

You think your brother's girlfriend is hinky? Is that slang for pretty or buxom?

No, it's just slang for iffy.

Well, iffy is already slang. I don't see the need for slang for slang.

Four years ago Jared's girlfriend was a hooker?

An escort. I believe in the hierarchy of prostitution, an escort ranks equal to high class call girl.

And now she teaches grade school?

Mm-hmm. I don't see any other injuries that could be cause of death. Apparently the rule is, once a sex worker always a sex worker.

You know, it really would have been better if Booth never ran her record.

He said it was my influence. That it was the rational thing to do.

No, sweetie, he's rationalizing. Which makes what he did irrational, because he's rationalizing that Jared can't make rational decisions for himself. You do the same thing all the time. Maybe that's what he learned from you.

Do you know what Vincent Nigel-Murray is? He's a genius.

Yes, but so are we all. Except for Angela.

Oh, right, and yet who do you turn to when you need pretty pictures?

When Booth and I first met, I didn't believe that such a thing as love existed. I maintained that it was simply brain chemistry, but perhaps Booth is correct. Perhaps love comes first and creates the reaction. I have no tangible proof, but I'm willing to accept Booth's premise.

S5 E14The Devil in the Details

Right now I'm worried about a safe distance between you and me.

Why?

Why? Because we're going to a church, and you tend to get blasphemous in churches.

You're afraid if God smites me with lightning you could get hit?

Yeah, I'm usually standing right beside you.

The Greek god Zeus also used lightning to incinerate his enemies, although Zeus apparently had better aim than your god.

Exactly. Stuff like that. Just don't say stuff like that.

Are you asking me to do an experiment?

With Arastoo.

Why are you saying his name like that?

Like what?

Arastooooo. You're chewing on his name.

Arastoo said that he looks at the devil every day.

Maybe he has low self-esteem.

Or -- you know what they call us, right?

They, being?

Muslims. Some Muslims. The ones over there trying to kill us.

Yeah, they call us the great Satan. Oh.

[walks in] Look here, what I found. Radiating microfractures in the cartilage of the victim's vestigial tail.

Radiating microfractures plus a ruptured intestine?

What does that mean?

He was slammed into something.

Perhaps, in fact, he did wrestle with an archangel and lose. As it should be. The devil lost, as he always must.

The devil lost?

As he always must?

What if Arastoo means us?

Arastoo is a very sweet, gentle guy, you know?

I know, but maybe in his heart he looks down on us! Do you want to work with someone who thinks you're the great Satan?

No! I don't want to be the great Satan. I don't even want to be a minor demon.

[After Aristoo demonstrates his great proficiency with nunchucks] What are you...some kind of Persian ninja?!

You have faith that you will retain your faith? Why?

Because, Bones. The sun will come up and tomorrow is a new day.

I know that feeling.

Really?

Mm-hmm.

You know what it feels like to get your faith back?

When I see effects and I am unable to discern a cause, my faith in reason and consequences is shaken.

Then what happens?

Two plus two equals four. I put sugar in my coffee and it tastes sweet. The sun comes up because the world turns. These things are beautiful to me. There are mysteries I will never understand, but everywhere I look I see proof that for every effect there is a corresponding cause. Even if I can't see it. I find that reassuring.

And life is good again.

It is very good.

Yes, it is.

CDr. Copeland

I've listened to you take shots at my profession, and that's okay. I'm a big boy, a tolerant man, but I want you to think about something. I spend every working hour of every day trying to help people who are living in Hell. That's an honorable way to spend a life. Perhaps more honorable than figuring out what happened to dead people who are already beyond pain and suffering.

Intentions, however misguided, do count. I understand that.

CDr. Copeland

I hope you won't think I'm too picky when I point out that that wasn't an actual apology. But perhaps it's the best you can manage.

The accelerant was common motor oil, available at any gas station.

Well, at least it wasn't brimstone, available only from Hell.

S5 E15The Bones on the Blue Line

Page 187. [places Brennan's new book on the table] Would you mind reading it aloud?

Page 187. [playfully] I am not reading the sparky bits to you! You get somebody else to do that, sicko.

Okay, fine. Read it to yourself, then. [watches as Angela reads] That's that thing that I do. Nobody does that thing. It's my thing that I do.

Right.

It's not a well known thing. It's, you know, my thing that I do.

Right. I remember. I was there.

You told Brennan about that thing that I do!

It's a very good thing.

It's my thing! That I do! Did you tell her that it was my thing?

You mean did I give you credit?

Yes! Did you?

No.

Good, because I don't need her looking at me thinking about that thing I do.

Well that's good, then.

But now that thing I do is in print and every guy that reads that book is going to give it a shot. [sighs] Oh, well. You know I've got other things that I do. [Angela laughs] My advice: only sleep with guys that can't read, because otherwise you'll never be rid of me.
