Temperance Brennan
- Special Agent Seeley Booth: You know what? You're the only smart person I really like.
- Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan: Thank you.
- [They start to leave interrogation together]
- Dr. Lance Sweets: What about me?
- [the door closes]
- Special Agent Seeley Booth: You're testing me on the cancer chair?
- Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan: Well, you're wearing a suit. Plus it's not radioactive anymore... We're going to need to take this chair.
- Special Agent Seeley Booth: No. No. No. No. You don't just go around doing human testing on people, Bones!
- Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan: It's just...
- Special Agent Seeley Booth: I gotta go to the bathroom.
- [Booth leaves]
- Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan: I touched it with my bare hands... See?
- Angela Montenegro: [Rising up] Sweetie, can you pay for this? I have to go.
- Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan: Sure. Why?
- Angela Montenegro: I have to save Hodgins's life.
- Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan: You disapprove of the Collar Institute?
- Dr. Jack Hodgins: Up and forward are only two directions. Science should look in all directions. You taught me that.
- Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan: I did?
- Dr. Jack Hodgins: Everyday.
- Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan: Thank you.
- Dr. Jack Hodgins: [From inside the lab] FIRE IN THE HOLE!
- [Cannon goes off. Booth tries to shield Bones]
- Special Agent Seeley Booth: What the hell was that?
- Dr. Jack Hodgins: [Hodgins exits the lab] We're okay. Everything's okay.
- Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan: We should get out of here before lock down. Let Cam deal with it.
- Special Agent Seeley Booth: Yeah. All right.
- [They both run for the exit as the alarm goes off]
- Dr. Camille Saroyan: [to Hodgins and Nigel] You know you're grounded, right?
- Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan: So you think that two people who care about each other, they leave metamophorical marks which should be allowed to fade naturally?
- Special Agent Seeley Booth: You heard me but you just didn't understand me.
- Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan: I wonder that about you all the time.
- Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan: I was turned down for a fellowship here at the institute.
- Landis Collar: No, no. That is not true. Your anthropological research was rejected because it looked to the past, not the future.
- [speaks briefly in Latin]
- Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan: [translating for Booth] To eternity, to glory, to the future.
- Special Agent Seeley Booth: [smiling] Right. Then why say your motto in a dead, ancient language?
- Special Agent Seeley Booth: Okay, listen... We just gotta stop hanging out with geniuses because you're gonna figure out that I'm really stupid.
- Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan: What? Don't worry about that.
- Special Agent Seeley Booth: Hmm?
- Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan: I figured out a long time ago how stupid you are.
- Special Agent Seeley Booth: Hmm.
- Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan: What I just said is... true. And yet it... really sounded wrong. What I should say is that I don't care how stupid you are... It's not any better?
- Special Agent Seeley Booth: No. No. Not at all.
- Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan: [the squints join them] Okay, well, there is intelligence which I have, and Mr. Nigel-Murray.
- Vincent Nigel-Murray: Oh thank you.
- Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan: And Sweets, even though, his is so misdirected as to be meaningless.
- Dr. Lance Sweets: Wow. Backhand full of knuckles with that compliment.
- Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan: And Hodgins... And Angela... not so much, but she's very talented.
- Angela Montenegro: Thank you very much.
- Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan: You're welcome. But then there's another quality. Which is the ability to use intelligence. That is what you have.
- Special Agent Seeley Booth: Thanks Bones.
- Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan: What exactly are you working on?
- Milton Alvaredo: I am endeavoring to find a way to transmit single-cell organisms, using common pond scum, from one location to another.
- Special Agent Seeley Booth: You ever try a spoon?
- Landis Collar: [after hitting Booth] That's for killing my fiancée.
- Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan: One person to your left Dr. Collar.
- Landis Collar: [Collar hits the right target this time] My apologies Agent Booth. My echo-locator must have malfunctioned.
- Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan: What possible information could this experiment provide us that you couldn't get mathematically?
- Dr. Jack Hodgins: Mathematics is theory. This is a real-world recreation.
- Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan: In order to prove what, exactly?
- Vincent Nigel-Murray: That a frozen person, struck by a meteorite, would turn into chili con carne.
- Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan: You've heard of Landis Collar, right?
- Special Agent Seeley Booth: Sure, I have. Mm hm. Blind guy. World's leading expert in superconductivity.
- Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan: Do you even know what superconductivity is?
- Special Agent Seeley Booth: I know it's better than normal conductivity.
