[to Bones] You are still the most stubborn creature on God's green earth.
S8 E15The Shot in the Dark
S8 E16The Friend in Need
[Cam, Brennan, Finn, and Hodgins are analyzing a teen's remains packed inside a suitcase.]
CCam
The boy didn't climb into a suitcase and throw himself off a bridge
I don't know. Could be a jackass stunt gone wrong.
CCam
You're suggesting cause of death is stupidity?
Well, it wouldn't be the first time.
So the way we play this is I'm the understanding psychologist and you be the flinty FBI agent?
[dismisses him] Just be what we are.
You knew you had to tell someone who would listen. And you were right. You can't just "will" something like this away. You have to deal with it or it'll stay with you forever.
KKat
What do you know? Were you raped?
[takes a deep breath] No, no. [pauses] Um...when I was a boy I was in a bad foster home. I was beaten. The foster dad, he did it for sport. I thought it was me. You know, I thought, if I just behaved better. So that's what I tried to do. Until someone helped me see it wasn't my fault. It wasn't. And no matter how hard or painful it is, it was better to face what happened.
My IQ is quantifiably higher than yours.
You know what, you're the brains of the outfit.
You have your strengths, Booth.
Well, I try
Trying is one of your strengths.
Booth, do you ever let me think I'm the smart one when you've figured it out already?
No.
Because that would be ridiculous.
You've been reading my psychology books again.
You leave them in the bathroom. They're good reading in the tub.
[to Cam and Angela] In high school I did a report concerning the effects of alcohol on muscle coordination. It was quite amusing.
S8 E17The Fact in the Fiction
I confess that in a moment of weakness I took the opportunity to make Dr. Wells feel bad about himself.
He deserves it. Trust me. It's probably the first time he's met someone that's smarter than him.
If you could travel through time where would you go?
I'm already there. Here.
What?
Here. The difference between past and future is nowhere to be found in the laws of physics. Everything I want or need is here. Right now.
[to Angela] Do I look humble? I'm trying to be less of a douche.
It's not crazy that I'm worried about, actually. It's arrogance. We're a team here and you can be traded.
Wherever I go, I'm always the smartest person and it always creates problems.
Well maybe you should try being less of a douche.
Just because something is theoretically impossible doesn't mean that it's not possible.
I believe that is exactly what it means.
Would you tell your significant other the truth or would you...
CCam
I would tell him...that I wanted to have tea with Jesus.
You're talking about doing another experiment, aren't you?
Perhaps I am your brother from another mother.
