Temperance Brennan
- Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan: Zack, place some garlic around the remains and chant the Hmong ritual for the preservation of souls.
- Zack Addy: Really?
- Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan: This is going to be a long case.
- [Booth has arrested Will, he joins Brennan in her office]
- Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan: I sure know how to pick 'em, don't I?
- Special Agent Seeley Booth: Well, you know, our perceptions are always colored by what we hope, what we fear, what we love. We do the best we can.
- Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan: I'm afraid my best isn't good enough. I can read bones, not people.
- Special Agent Seeley Booth: Oh, you know, you had no trouble seeing through me.
- [smiles at her and she smiles back]
- Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan: It's a good thing I like being alone.
- Special Agent Seeley Booth: You know what, Bones? You're not alone. Okay?
- [Brennan has turned her back to Booth, he touches her on the shoulder to turn her around, she hesitates, then turns to him]
- Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan: Booth...
- Special Agent Seeley Booth: You're my partner, ok? It's a guy hug. Take it.
- [they embrace tightly, Booth smiles thoughtfully and Brennan looks relieved, happy and safe]
- Special Agent Seeley Booth: Any cause of death?
- Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan: Well, since I can't find the skull, I'd say his head was cut off.
- Special Agent Seeley Booth: But you're looking at me like I'm in trouble and you're a teacher.
- Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan: You've been really touchy lately.
- Special Agent Seeley Booth: Look Bones, I don't know why I didn't tell you about Cam.
- Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan: Did I mention Cam?
- Special Agent Seeley Booth: I just didn't want it to get weird, I guess.
- Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan: Weird?
- Special Agent Seeley Booth: We're partners, you know? Together all the time, right? You're a woman and I'm a man and I never had a relationship like this where we were... like two guys, except you're not, you know, a guy.
- Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan: No. No, I'm not. Should I feel odd about wanting to hang out with Will?
- Special Agent Seeley Booth: No, of course not, you know? Because essentially, I mean, you're a guy like me, but not really.
- Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan: That would mean that to me, you are essentially a woman. Yeah. I can see that.
- Special Agent Seeley Booth: No, no, no, no. I prefer not to be a woman if you don't mind.
- Special Agent Seeley Booth: So what would happen if a very jealous Lori found out...
- Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan: I don't know. That's more your territory.
- Special Agent Seeley Booth: What? About cheating?
- Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan: I just meant that you use psychology. You're very touchy. Perhaps because of all your skulking around?
- Special Agent Seeley Booth: I am discreet. Okay? It's different. A gentleman is discreet. Okay?
