David Boreanaz: Seeley Booth

A Boy in a Tree

Seeley Booth

Special Agent Seeley Booth: [reading the school sign aloud] Omnia Mea Mecum Porto. What does that mean: regular people stay out?
Dr. Temperance Brennan, Zack Addy: I carry with me all my things.

Zack Addy: Sometime, when you're not busy, I wonder if I could ask you a few questions about sexual positions?
Special Agent Seeley Booth: If you even try, I will take out my gun and shoot you between the eyes.

Special Agent Seeley Booth: [flashes his badge] FBI Special Agent Seely Booth and a forensic anthropologist.
Dr. Temperance Brennan: Dr. Temperance Brennan from the Jeffersonian Institute.
Zack Addy: Plus one crack assistant.

Dr. Temperance Brennan: I've been thinking about your whole "something stinks" aptitude.
Special Agent Seeley Booth: Oh yeah?
Dr. Temperance Brennan: I think you have a subconscious knack for reading body language. Stress in the voice, other subtle yet discernible indicators. It's not mysterious, but it is impressive, and in the future...
[deep breath]
Dr. Temperance Brennan: ...I will try to accord it an appropriate degree of objective worth.
Special Agent Seeley Booth: Thank you, Temperance. I appreciate that. So, uh, what part of "this is mine" did you not understand? Have to say it in Latin?
Dr. Temperance Brennan: [gets up slowly, smiling slightly, and hands him the access pass he wanted while saying] Absit invidia.
["Let ill will be absent", i.e. "No offense"]

Mickey Santana: [to Booth] What about your gut?
Special Agent Seeley Booth: My gut says it stinks.
Dr. Daniel Goodman: [to Brennan] If he smells with his gut, what does he use his nose for?

Dr. Temperance Brennan: [after catching the head that fell from the tree] I am going to need an evidence bag.
Special Agent Seeley Booth: Heads up!
Dr. Temperance Brennan: [the body falls from the tree] I am going to need a bigger bag.

Headmaster Ronson: How is that relevant?
Dr. Temperance Brennan: You know what's a better question? What makes you think you get to decide what's relevant? You're basically the pricipal of a high school.
Special Agent Seeley Booth: We need to see all of the sex tapes you confiscated.
Headmaster Ronson: Absolutely not.
Special Agent Seeley Booth: Well, I'll just get a warrant. And in the application for the warrant I'll include your admission that you allow your students to swap homemade sex tapes.
Leo Sanders: The headmaster isn't refusing to provide you with the tapes.
Dr. Temperance Brennan: "Absolutely not" sounds like a refusal.
Leo Sanders: When we confiscate the tapes, we immediately turn them over to local law enforcement.
Special Agent Seeley Booth: Sherrif Roach knew about this?
Leo Sanders: No need to issue a warrant. We're cooperating completely.
Dr. Temperance Brennan: Was the girl also a student here?
Headmaster Ronson: Given your hostility, it's time we bring in a lawyer to advise us.
Special Agent Seeley Booth: Or you take my advice. If you don't answer my questions, I'll take you down to FBI headquarters in handcuffs.
Dr. Temperance Brennan: He'll do it. He doesn't like you.
[Booth shakes his head]

Mickey Santana: In order for an investigation to occur, you, Dr. Brennan, have to declare it a murder.
Dr. Daniel Goodman: Without an investigation, we can't find out if it's a murder, but there'll be no investigation unless Dr. Brennan declares it to be a murder.
[to Brennan]
Dr. Daniel Goodman: Shall I send for a philosopher?
Mickey Santana: Look, you're very experienced within your field, on bones and such, right? Doesn't your gut say "suicide"?
Dr. Temperance Brennan: I don't actually use my gut for that, sir.
Special Agent Seeley Booth: She really, really doesn't.
Dr. Daniel Goodman: Like all of us at the Jeffersonian, Dr. Brennan prefers science to the digestive tract.

Special Agent Seeley Booth: Well, I'd like to declare it a murder just to shake those little...
Dr. Temperance Brennan: I'm not gonna declare it a murder just so you can shake things up.
