I got word that the journal isn't going to publish my paper.
Is that all?
It got pulled in favor of a puff piece about Selena Gomez on a fossil hunt.
I'm not familiar with Dr. Gomez's work, but I look forward to reading about it.
S7 E9The Don't in the Do
S7 E10The Warrior in the Wuss
[Booth has fallen down a ravine while Brennan and Hodgins are looking for the corpse's skull]
[picks the skull up out of the water and treats it like a puppet] "Hey look, you found me!" Can we go to the airport now?
What part of "stop the car" don't you understand?
Just put your seatbelt back on! CLOSE THE DOOR!
(Booth is sat on Parker's bed next to Parker who is holding his baby sister Christine)
BBooth
I'm so glad your back buddy! And so is Christine.
She's so little.
BBooth
Yeah, Oh, I think she's smiling at ya.
Ya think?
BBooth
Yeah.
(Booth laughs softly and looks around)
BBooth
So, what do you think of ya room, it's just like your old one.
It's awesome.
(Christine starts crying and getting fussy)
I think you should take her.
BBooth
Right, okay. Easy.
(Booth stands up and takes Christine)
I don't want her to hate me.
BBooth
She's not gonna hate you. You're her big brother. Come on, huh?
(Christine starts crying)
BBooth
It's alright.
(Parker walks over to his toys)
BBooth
So, what do you think of that i got the old RC truck out. I found it.
Do you think it still works?
BBooth
Of course it does. Me and Christine we put some batteries in it this morning, and we took it for a few laps.
(Parker scowls before putting it back)
BBooth
Look. Bones had to go to the lab, so maybe later, you, me and Christine, we can make some spaghetti meatballs, huh?
Christine can't really do the things you say, Dad.
BBooth
I know. But we're all just really happy that your back.
(Parker smiles)
You like her?
BBooth
I love her, just like i love you, okay?
(Booth hugs him and kisses his head, Parker hugs him back before pulling away)
Can i just lie down? I'm tired.
BBooth
Sure. Yeah. Uh, probably just jet lag, right? Before you know it you'll be back in American time, alright?
(Booth walks out the room and stops outside, looking at him)
BBooth
Hey, buddy. i'm really glad your back.
(Parker smiles)
See ya.
(Parker closes the door and Booth looks at the door in confusion)
BBooth
Hey, buddy? You here, just had a quick break wanted to see if you wanted to grab a bite...
(He knocks on the door to Parker's room, then opens it)
BBooth
-or something... Parker? Parker? Great..
(Booth sighs, Parker walks in)
Dad..?
(Booth turns around)
BBooth
Yeah. There you are. Where were you.
What are you doing home?
BBooth
I came home to see you, of course. Obviously. And i was gonna pick up my gym bag.
I haven't seen it.
BBooth
Right. Of course you haven't seen my gym bag. Why would you of seen my bag..? Where were you just now?
(Booth looks at him in confusion)
Uh.. No where, just out exploring the woods out back.
BBooth
Out back, exploring the woods? Right, then why didn't you tell the babysitter where you were?
Because i'm not a baby, Christine's the baby.
(Booth's cell rings and he answers it)
BBooth
Booth... Great so is there gonna be something else or is this all about worms..? All right, so he was beaten up.
(Booth looks at Parker laying on the bed as he's on the phone and sees his shoes clean, before speaking on the phone again)
BBooth
The karate teacher, I'll tell you what, i'll come by and pick you up and we can see if his hands match his wounds and stuff. Alright, see you in 15.
(Booth hangs up and looks at Parker)
BBooth
Hey.. Buddy, i have to get back to work, okay? Stay tight and i'll see you later on. And if you go anywhere you tell the babysitter... right, sitter. You tell the sitter where you'll be.
(Parker nods)
Yeah.
(Booth looks at him unconvincingly)
BBooth
Kay'.
(Booth looks to the bottom of his shoes before leaving)
(Bones knocks on Parker's door)
Parker? I was wondering if you wanted to take a walk with me and Christine?
(He knocks again as she gets no reply)
Parker? Parker, you okay?
(He opens up the door, and looks in confusion as she sees one of his toys that him and Booth made together, broken. She looks towards his closet and walks over picking up her lab coat, and sees his car broken and pictures all cut up.)
I haven't done anything wrong! I swear.
BBooth
You've been destroying things, you've been lying to us.
You've stolen pictures.
I haven't stolen anything!
BBooth
It's best to stop right now, bud. You don't wanna make it any worse.
You don't understand.
I do. There's an anthropological necessity for you to seek superior status within the family structure.
(Booth looks at her and frowns)
I don't understand.
(Booth looks at him)
BBooth
Well.. she just means that we understand that it's hard for you to accept Christine.
(Parker stands up angrily)
No! No! I like her. She's my sister, I love her! You guys are ruining everything.
Us? What did we do?
It was supposed to be a surprise, you would see it when you put Christine to bed! I may as well show you now.
(Parker walks off towards Christine's nursery, Booth looks at Bones and smiles softly before they follow him, they head over to the crib)
I wanted to make her something, that's all.
(Booth and Bones smile in amazement as they look at the mobile he made)
See? It's Christine's family.
(He points to a picture of Bones and Christine)
Here's a picture of Temperance.
(He points to Booth's FBI patch)
Dad, there's your FBI patch.
BBooth
That's the patch you took from my Gym bag.
(Booth and Bones look at each other and smile)
Yeah, but it was an extra. I made sure.
(Parker points to a picture)
See, and here's a picture of all of us.
It's beautiful, Parker.
(Christine moves her arm hitting the dangling stuff, Booth smiles, Bones places Christine in her crib)
Let's see how Christine likes it.
(Parker hands Booth the remote control)
Turn it on, Dad.
BBooth
Alright.
I used the motor from our truck.
BBooth
Right, from the RC truck.
M-hmm!
(Booth switches it on and music plays and it starts moving around)
BBooth
Wow! Look at that.
(Bones smiles and places a hand on Parker's back)
I got the music from the chip in a greeting cart.
(Christine gurgles waving her hands looking at it as it moves, Parker points to another picture)
And i got that picture of my face in the middle. That way, Christine will know me the next time i come to visit.
(Christine giggles loudly, Booth puts a hand on his shoulder and Parker smiles)
BBooth
I'm sorry, Buddy.
It's okay.
(Booth and Bones look at each other with a smile, before they all look at Christine giggling away)
She likes it.
She loves it.
(Christine giggles loudly and Booth smiles squeezing Parker's shoulder softly, Parker smiles looking up at his father, they all turn to look at Christine giggling away)
S7 E11The Family and the Feud
[pushing in a flatbed trolley stacked full with boxes, books and files] Those hillbillies have been going at it tooth and nail since the 1800's!
[in amazement] That's all the Mobleys and the Babcocks?
You know it, cher. They used to just kill each other and call it a day. Then they moved on to mule theft, aggravated assault and, lately since we're civilized, nuisance lawsuits.
Tribal feuds tend to be generational because the feud itself becomes a cultural identity for them.
For Lady Justice it's a boil on her butt. That's why she never sits down.
[...]
[looking through the notes] Wow...look at all these weapons charges.
Well, you wanted to be G-Man.
[Booth is confronting an armed Nobert Mobley.]
Norbert! Easy. Point the gun up. Up.
[Booth takes the shotgun but Mobley refuses to let go of it and they struggle over the gun.]
What are you? Crazy?! Give me the gun!
MMobley
No! It's my gun!
I'm FBI!
MMobley
It's my land! You got no rights!
[A shot is fired out of the gun. Booth wrings it out of Mobley's hands.]
[looks at Mobley] You are crazy.
[Mobley swings a punch at Booth but misses. Booth knocks him to the ground with the butt of the shotgun. Brennan comes up behind Booth with her gun.]
MMobley
[sees Brennan] How about you let her cuff me? [smiles at Brennan] She's pretty.
You think you could drop a hint to Booth about me getting some more field work? [Caroline glares at him] What? Is it so terrible to have a dream?
No. Not when you're in bed.
You seem irritated.
Well, you're irritating me, ok?
Oh.
Didn't they teach you, you know, how not to be irritating at shrink camp?
It was a university.
[Hodgins is cooking truffles in the room using lab equipment.]
These two families are tearing each other apart for no reason.
And you think that you are going to be able to repair the damage when no one else could in the past 120 years.
Perhaps it's too big of a challenge for you. Fear of failure. It happens.
[pauses] Excuse me?
I was thinking I could see what chemicals are in the old bones and you can analyze the soil and water table. But if it's beyond you...
Don't...no, that is not it.
Oh, it's the truffles! They take precedence! I understand.
Fine. I will help you. But don't diss my truffles.
[Daisy tries Hodgins' truffles. She gags and quickly spits it back out.]
Are you out of your mind?!
I love truffles but those taste awful!
[Hodgins tries some himself and spits it out.]
You are a scientist. Not a cook!
S7 E12The Suit on the Set
I don't understand. If you have a useful talent, why are you an actor?
That's not fair. His ooky room his ookier than mine.
[Sweets and Booth are video-conferencing. Sweets is in his office while Booth is pacing around the set and looking at all the props.]
You know, the criminal records are not surprising. The entertainment industry has its own set of norms. Not only is bad behavior rarely punished, it's often rewarded. [pauses] Wow. Why does your office look like the command center in some super villain submarine?
I guess my bubble-head bobby wasn't flashy enough.
I still think it's an excellent idea to question people there. The actors might suddenly see their fictional world as real. It might work to your advantage.
[...]
[While Booth is talking with Sweets, Blaine Conway, who portrays Andy Lister, a fictional portrayal of Booth in Brennan's book, comes from behind and tackles him. Booth instinctively and quickly subdues him.]
BBlaine
[groans] Woah. Wow. I do my own stunts but you are awesome!
[annoyed] What the hell are you doing?! I could've killed you! [pulls Blaine up by his tie] Get up!
[in disbelief after witnessing what just happened] Unbelievable! No sense of mortality at all! Completely delusional!
BBlaine
[points to screen at Sweets] Who's the big head?
It's the FBI shrink.
BBlaine
[to Sweets] I was just trying to show him how I'm gonna play Lister. I mean this guy's like Steve McQueen man. [points to Booth] I gotta do him justice!
[...]
[Blaine leaves after being questioned by Booth and exits the set doing an exaggerated impression of an FBI agent.]
[to Sweets] You see what I gotta deal with? His belt buckle says "cooky".
I can see the McQueen thing.
Yeah?
A little bit.
