Bones · Season 9
[Hodgins, Cam and Clark are examining a body covered in kudzu. The kudzu begins to grow, scaring Cam.]
What was that?
[grins] It's still growing. It's feeding off the remaining tissue.
I've seen this movie. It doesn't end well for humanity.
When you're a little girl you should be treated like a princess, not some criminal on the run.
Max was a criminal on the run. So Dr. Brennan's probably sublimated those feelings as a way to cope.
And now she's probably trying to justify it all by saying that a kid's birthday party isn't important. But it is!
I would imagine so. I've...never...been thrown a party either. So... [looks away awkwardly]
You too?
No.
[shakes head in disbelief] Wow. My dad was a drunk and he threw me a birthday party every year. The only time I ever saw him really sober.
[sympathetically] It's probably why birthdays are so meaningful to you.
Scientists require facts, not flights of fancy.
I was thinking, Booth...since we'll be in the park, we could play tag
[looks at Brennan] Sure! Tag is fun. See, you know how to have fun! [Brennan smiles] You're not gonna catch me, though.
I wouldn't be so sure. I am quite good at tag.
Come on. I used to be a Ranger, ok? You're never gonna catch me.
We'll see.
You're very set in your ways.
I'm not set in my ways. Never had been, never will be.
[Booth gets a call about a body.]
Ok, I'll drive.
[stunned] I always drive.
I know, but since you're not set in your ways, it'll be a nice change. [leaves]
[whines to himself] What'd you mean "nice change"?!! I always drive the car.
Look, what's the big deal? I know you helped put the mental part of the test together.
Right, but that doesn't mean I can give you the answers, Booth.
I'm not looking for the answers, ok? I'm just....trying to see what kind of questions are gonna be on the test.
The test is the day after tomorrow. Don't you feel ready?
[grins] Come on, I was born ready.
[marvels at Angela's new holographic projector] I feel like I should be wearing silly glasses eating popcorn.
[explaining cryonics to Booth] It's a low temperature preservation of humans with a hope that resuscitation may be possible in the future.
It's nuts, ok? When you die, it's ashes to ashes, not ashes to ice.
We all search for immortality in our own way. It's what binds tribes and religions.
Just please tell me that...you're not gonna want me...to...freeze you.
No. But one day you might be able to download my accumulated consciousness onto a memory chip.
[uncomfortable] Listen, let's just, you know...keep each other in here. [points to chest (heart)] That's worked just fine for a long time.
[to the boss of the cryonics facility] Wait a second, who licensed you guys? Frankenstein?
They're dead when they're frozen, aren't they?
Yes, but they keep oxygen circulating while putting in the cryoprotectants to save the cellular integrity of the remains.
And they use propofol to keep the remains from animating during the process.
[shocked] Animating? You mean like, the "walking dead"?
[grins excitedly] Yeah, it's actually––
[cuts Hodgins off] If you say "cool", you won't have sex for, like, a year.
Revolting.
[smirks] You're missing a good old-fashioned murder, aren't ya?
[amused] Oh come on, aren't you? We're all sitting around here hoping that someone recorded a confession in some frozen lady's head.
From a military angle, they're having me review all these shootings, they're looking at my skill sets.
Your gut is telling you some things.
Yeah. The base over there, it's a staging ground for counter-terrorism activity and covert operations.
You think they might be asking you to be a sniper again?
I won't do it. I have a new life, I've a family. They can't make me do that again.
You don't have to do anything you don't want to, Booth.
The truth is, the family was always strange, you know? They were living under a cloud.
A very wealthy cloud.
Yeah, tons of money and all that's left is murder, sadness and secrets. I'm telling you, I'm doing a hell of a lot better broke.
You know, I wrote seven pages on your problem-solving skills
Wow
Which I said were excellent.
[smirks] Thanks, Bones.
Although, I admitted to being skeptical about your reliance on your gut, but I explained it by referencing studies showing that gut instincts are merely highly developed observational powers so it's probably your eyes more than your gut.
[smiles] You know, you're amazing. You know that?
Yeah. However, I'm not sure what exemplary quality you're referencing. My intellect, or...
Your support. Your...thanks. Thanks.
[seriously] How could I not support you? You believed in me even when there's no tangible evidence the "Ghost Killer" existed
[smugly] Guess it was my gut.
Dr. Brennan, I just had to say how much I appreciate how accepting you've been about me working with you on this case.
[astonished] Yes....that is...rare for me...isn't it?
[smirks] Yes it is. And I know Pelant told you you'd never be able to catch this "Ghost Killer" without his expertise but I'm determined to prove him wrong.
