S5 E15The Bones on the Blue Line

I believe my books are popular because they introduce the reader to the world of forensic anthropology. Why aren't you writing? You usually write down everything.

RIRiku Inagawa

Why did it take so long for Dr. Reichs to have sex with Agent Andy?

For the same reason that she used stable isotopes to determine that the victim spent her childhood in east Timur. The oxygen isotopes we ingest through food and water are incorporated into the hydroxocarbonic appetite of bone. You should be writing this down.

IInagawa

Will she ever tell Andy about her affair with Ryan?

That was inconsequential fluff, Miss Inagawa.

IInagawa

It's why they fight in chapter six.

They identify the lotus tooth in chapter six.

IInagawa

That is when their passion is released. Page 187.

Why are you only asking about things that mean nothing?

IInagawa

Those are the things that mean everything.

Do you own a gun, Mr. Ceraficki?

CCeraficki

Of course, I own a gun! This is a pawn shop! I never have to use it. I mean, I wave it around from time to time, but --

BBrenna

Why is he allowed to carry a guy after being arrested on a concealed weapon charge?!

CCeraficki

Innocent mistake. I accidentally put it in my pocket, you know, when I left work.

Could I see the gun, please?

CCeraficki

She's right over here.

Real easy there, pal! I don't want any sudden movements. No mistakes. That's it.

IInagawa

That is very sexy! Big Andy with a gun, protecting Kathy!

No, no. He is not Andy and I am not Kathy. [smiles] It's even more exciting when he shoots someone with it.

Bones.

Well, it is, Booth, and it's very impressive! He never misses.

IInagawa

Andy sometimes misses!

Yes! See?

I still can be surprised by people.

Is that good or bad?

Bad, I think. I don't know.

Well, if she's convicted, even with good behavior, she'll be in prison for the next fifteen years.

He said they're soulmates and he'll wait for however long it takes for her to get out.

Soulmates?

Soulmates. Yeah.

The idea of soulmates actually originated with Plato.

Yeah, from the clay kids play with.

No! The anc -- aw. [laughs] You're joking.

Me, joke? No. [smirks]

The ancient Greek philosopher. His theory was that humans originally consisted of four arms, four legs and two faces. Zeus was threatened by their power and split them all in half. Condemning us all to spend our lives trying to complete ourselves.

[smiles] I don't believe that's true.

[laughs] I agree. It's ridiculous.

Right? [they smile]

[notices Sweets looking distracted] Sweets?

[snaps out of it] Yeah, yeah. Sorry.

You sure you're ready to come back to work?

Yeah, I'm fine.

That guy in the subway, one way to look at it is, um, that he died happy.

[looks at Booth curiously] What?

You think about. Guy gets this great news. What does he do? He shares it with a stranger.

You're gonna think I'm stupid for saying this but the whole thing, it felt like a message.

Right, a message. I believe in messages.

Yeah, it was like a message. "Go ye forth and live life to the fullest". Something like that.

[smiles] Live life to its fullest. Maybe we should do that more often. Moment to moment, day to day.

S5 E16The Parts in the Sum of the Whole

[Flashback to Booth and Brennan's first case]

Are you a student here?

Special Agent Seeley Booth from the FBI.

I'm Dr. Temperance Brennan of the Jeffersonian Institution.

Do you believe in fate?

[smiling] Absolutely not. It's ludicrous.

[Flashback to Booth and Brennan's first case]

I'd ask you out if I could.

Why can't you?

Well, FBI rules again. No fraternizing with other agents or consultants.

That's too bad.

I'm glad you think so.

[Flashback to Booth and Brennan's first case]

Listen, I've got something to confess.

Is it the fact that you're a direct descendant of John Wilkes Booth? I already know that.

Wait, wait a second. How do you know that?

From your bone structure.

Keep that under your hat for now, okay?

[laughs] Okay.

I'm a gambler. [Brennan gives him a quizzical look] I believe in giving this a chance. Look, I wanna give this a shot.

You mean us? [Booth nods] No, the FBI won't let us work together --

Don't do that, that is no reason -- [he kisses her, but after a moment she pushes him away]

[close to tears] No! No!

[desperately] Why? Why?

You -- you thought you were protecting me, but you're the one who needs protecting.

Protecting? From what?

From me. I -- I don't have your kind of open heart.

Just -- just give it a chance, that's all I'm asking!

No, you said it yourself: the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different outcome.

Well, then let's go for a different outcome, here! All right, let's just hear me out, right? You know when you talk to older couples who, you know, have been in love for thirty or forty or fifty years, all right? It's always the guy who says, "I knew." I knew, right from the beginning.

Your evidence is anecdotal.

I'm that guy. Bones, I'm that guy! I know.

[crying] I -- I am not a gambler. I'm a scientist. I can't change! I don't know how. I don't know how. [Booth looks crushed] Please don't look so sad.

All right, okay. [sighs, then hangs his head.] You're right. You're right.

Can we still work together?

[Booth hesitates, Brennan gives him a pleading look] Yeah. [wipes away a tear]

Thank you.

But I gotta move on. You know, I gotta find someone who -- who's gonna love me in -- in thirty years, or forty or fifty.

I know.

What did you think we were going to talk to him about?

The whole, uh, love thing?

The love thing? Oh, his conclusion that we're in love? I don't care about that.

What mistake?

Hint: it's not what you think.

You disagree with my conclusion that the two of you are in love, and the sublimating energies of that connection are responsible for the energy, vigor, and rigor that you bring to your homicide investigations.

I just told you it's not what you think and you immediately say what you think.

That's your interpretation. We recognize your right to interpret.

You do?

That's your right as a psychologist to get everything wrong.

[Flashback to Booth and Brennan's first case]

Okay, excuse me, you know what, you really need to learn how to speak to human beings.

I speak six languages .. two of which you've never even heard of.

You know what, you're a cold fish.

You're a superstitious moron!

Get a soul!

Get a brain!

S5 E17The Death of the Queen Bee

I used to come here to find animals to dissect. I didn't have a boyfriend.

Well, maybe because you were cutting up little woodland creatures.

BCOfficer Becky Conway

Have I arrested you before, hon?

No. You were my lab partner in Chemistry at Burtonsville High.

BCOfficer Becky Conway

Are you absolutely sure? I have an excellent memory.

Positive. Though you are thinner now, which is better for you cardiovascular system. In High School, you were quite overweight, hence the derision from the other students.

BCOfficer Becky Conway

Yeah. I remember you now. The creepy girl.
