Bones · Season 9
I am outstanding and without peer in my field. I assume that is why your government wanted you to observe me.
[Dr. Filmore jots something down on a notebook]
What are you writing now?
Oh, just an observation that Americans are hubristic and Canadians must deal with this challenge in future cooperative interest.
Facts are not hubris, Dr. Filmore.
You know, in Canada, we have a saying: Wait your turn. If you are truly deserving, that honor will eventually come to you.
That's why I don't live in Canada.
Booth, do you think I'm being small-minded about Cam getting the award and not me?
[sighs] Huh. Yes.
What?
You might want another answer but I can't give that to you.
But I'm clearly the best scientist.
And are you the worst scientist because Cam's getting the award?
Of course not.
See? Yeah, you're just being petty because you want to win.
[protests] I thought you would take my side.
I am on your side, ok? I'm on your better side. [smirks] [Brennan frowns and breaks into a smile at Booth's smile.] Much better side.
There's a strong connection between chess and the logic and thought needed to plan and execute a murder.
Like a lot of brilliant people, Magnuson had a huge ego. Left little room for others.
Yeah, murder...such an inconvenience, right?
Booth is right. It is like the queen sacrifice Marshall used against Levitsky in 1912.
What???
He wouldn't see that coming. [looks at Brennan] How'd you know about that?
I play too, not like you, of course. I've been trying to teach Booth but he keeps referring to the knights as "horsies". [Booth covers his face with his palm in frustration]
That's great, can we just move this along. Ok, chess is a one-on-one game, but in a real war, you need a platoon and that's what we are right now, ok? So let's move out!
We have a duty to show the scientific community that the Jeffersonian is an institution where pulchritude is as abundant as brilliance.
[to Booth] We're married now. Sharing everything is part of that, isn't it?
So I was online looking at dream houses, which got me thinking about adding an extra room...
...and you want a studio––
Which could double as a bug room
Oh...phft. Listen, I promise I will do it. As soon as I find a suitable bank to rob.
You know, we'd make a pretty good team. You could drive the getaway car.
I was watching the news and wondering if it even worth getting dressed.
[smirks] Oh we've missed you, Fisher.
Look, if you can't bury a body deep enough you cover it in lye so the animals don't dig it up. It's classic Al Capone.
You think it was a mob hit?
Oh... [rubs face tiredly] What, a girl in her twenties?
It's sexist! Nowadays a girl in her twenties could be as much a mobster as a guy.
[deadpan] Wonderful in how far we've come.
Take the files. Go shrink them. Shrink it down.
I don't "shrink" files. I read them.
Just shrink it down.
[to Hodgins] Sometimes the looney bin is the right place to be, and I was grateful for it. [...] Sometimes people look at you in there like you’d done something wrong rather than just having a disease.
[realizing he overlooked a discrepancy] Well, I feel inadequate.
You work with me, Mr. Fisher. I'd have thought you'd be used to that by now.
