- Caroline Julian: Listen up, you people. The verdict is gonna come down any minute. Maybe we'll win. Maybe we'll lose. But this I do know, you people have got to get your sand together, you hear me? Booth and you scientist-android-brainiacs, you got somethin' very special here. But you are losing it.
- [to Booth]
- Caroline Julian: Dropping serial killers off of balconies. And...
- [to Angela]
- Caroline Julian: ...blabbing suspect's names to vengeful fathers.
- [to Cam]
- Caroline Julian: Cuttin' into heads before their times, gettin' poisoned.
- [to Zack]
- Caroline Julian: Gettin' blown up because you go grabbin' things you shouldn't have.
- [to Hodgins]
- Caroline Julian: Taking photographs from frames.
- [back to Booth]
- Caroline Julian: Getting a perfectly good car smashed to bits for NO good reason.
- [to all]
- Caroline Julian: Get it together! Start using your over-sized heads! This is the real world. Now, I know bug man here handed in his resignation. My official Justice Department recommendation is the following: we win the case, he gets his job back; we lose, Booth shoots him.
- Dr. Gordon Wyatt: You know what? I'm going to ask you to go back to your bilious socks and your ostentatious ties, and your provocative belt buckles.
- Special Agent Seeley Booth: What, you're saying that if I wear flashy socks, I'm going to forgive Hodgins?
- Dr. Gordon Wyatt: [chuckling] Oh Lord, I'm not sure I'm that good. Well, perhaps I am... hmm.
- Special Agent Seeley Booth: Oh, hey, Doc, Doc, Doc, um... W-why is it that the, uh, the belt buckle is provocative?
- Dr. Gordon Wyatt: Oh, it's a modern day codpiece. It forces the eye to the groin.
- Dr. Jack Hodgins: I figure, a guy like you, I resign, that puts things right between us. Do we need to discuss it past that?
- Special Agent Seeley Booth: What are we, girls?
- [to the person behind the counter]
- Special Agent Seeley Booth: A piece of pie for my friend.
- Dr. Camille Saroyan: Postmortem the vicious attack on the victim continued.
- David Barron: Objection! Categorization of the attack as vicious is prejudicial.
- Caroline Julian: Fourteen times a man was stabbed. How many stabs does it take to be vicious, exactly?
- Caroline Julian: I already got no proof how the victim got hold of that heroin. Now you're saying I can't put Hodgins on the stand? Why?
- Special Agent Seeley Booth: You don't wanna know the answer to that.
- Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan: Why doesn't she wanna know?
- Caroline Julian: As the prosecutor in this case, I'm obliged to share everything I know with the defense.
- Dr. Jack Hodgins: Just because Clarissa Bancroft and I...
- Caroline Julian: Whoa! Goodnight!
- David Barron: Objection. Assuming facts not in evidence.
- Caroline Julian: What do you mean? The defendant has every needle disease in the book, except HIV.
- David Barron: Same objection. Plus Miss Julian seems to deeply desire to testify herself.
- Caroline Julian: Yes, I would like to testify, because then I'd know what answers I was getting.
- Judge: Alright, settle down. This is a murder trial, not a night at the Improv.
- Special Agent Seeley Booth: [speaking of prosecutor and defense] Oh, they were married.
- [squints look at Booth]
- Special Agent Seeley Booth: They have a daughter, second year at M.I.T.
- Dr. Jack Hodgins: Does anyone else see the irony here?
- Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan: I slept with Sully last night.
- Special Agent Seeley Booth: I thought you already...
- Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan: No. Last night.
- Special Agent Seeley Booth: Yeah, well, it's really none of my business.
- Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan: Except that we're partners.
- Special Agent Seeley Booth: Yeah, there's that.
- Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan: And you told me about your socks.
- Special Agent Seeley Booth: Yeah, sex, socks, they're pretty much the same word.
- Special Agent Seeley Booth: You just don't get it.
- Special Agent Tim Sullivan: What? I'm asking for guy advice. You are a guy. What's not to get?
- Special Agent Seeley Booth: First of all, guys, they don't ask for advice. And secondly, I am not gonna help you get my partner into bed.
- Special Agent Tim Sullivan: Why not? It's not like you want her.
- [Booth doesn't answer but looks decidedly uncomfortable]
- Special Agent Tim Sullivan: Unless... do you want her?
- Special Agent Seeley Booth: Nah. Come on, Bones is, you know, she's my partner.
- Special Agent Tim Sullivan: Ohh, that's why you need psychiatric treatment - because you have the hots for your partner!
- Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan: Good job, Hodgins.
- Special Agent Seeley Booth: No, not 'good job, Hodgins'! He might've blown the whole case!
- Dr. Jack Hodgins: I told him it is *not* a problem.
- Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan: What happened?
- Special Agent Seeley Booth: Look, I don't care what he does on his time off. But when he screws around with evidence to get in the pants of an old girlfriend on one of *my* murder cases, that's a *problem!*
- Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan: I discovered something very interesting about cops and nicknames.
- Angela Montenegro: Anthropologically interesting?
- Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan: Anatomically interesting. They call the bald guy "Curly", and the fat guy "Tiny". It's ironic.
- Angela Montenegro: So when they call Sully "Peanut"...
- Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan: He doesn't like to shower with the other guys because he diverges from the quantifiable morphological norm.
- Special Agent Seeley Booth: One of the Squints - Hodgins - decided the rules, they didn't apply to him. He got entitled and jeopardized my murder case.
- Dr. Gordon Wyatt: Ah, and you confronted him physically.
- Special Agent Seeley Booth: Physical confrontation - that's my main skill.
- Dr. Gordon Wyatt: "Entitled," you said. Is he a wealthy man?
- Special Agent Seeley Booth: Yeah, like the guy who got killed.
- Dr. Gordon Wyatt: The murder victim... who tried to help a child and then died for it? And your... uh... Squint?
- Special Agent Seeley Booth: Yeah, Squint.
- Dr. Gordon Wyatt: Extraordinary. Your Squint tried to help a friend. So they both endeavored to do good.
- Special Agent Seeley Booth: With no clue of the way things are.
- Dr. Gordon Wyatt: The way things are, as defined by a working class lad from Pittsburgh.
- Special Agent Seeley Booth: That's right. Pittsburgh, where I'm from, all right? From the streets. Where you get a sense of how the world really is.
- Dr. Gordon Wyatt: Yes, I'm sure that's true. But has it occurred to you that without the distortion of reality provided by a privileged upbringing, there'd be no such thing as the Sistine Chapel, the Taj Mahal, the Three Rivers Stadium, home of your beloved Steelers?
- Special Agent Seeley Booth: The Three Rivers Stadium was demolished in 2000. But it was a great place, though, that Lambert...
- Dr. Gordon Wyatt: No doubt. The point is, you rebel in your way, your friend rebels in his. We all of us have to overcome our upbringing, rich and poor alike.
- Dr. Temperance Brennan: Wow- those socks! Those are amazing.
- Special Agent Seeley Booth: That's right. The socks, the tie, the belt buckle- all escape valves from my socioeconomic rage.
- Dr. Temperance Brennan: I hate psychology.
- Special Agent Seeley Booth: Oh, you know, they help meal with the day to day irritations of dealing with people that are more privileged.
- Dr. Temperance Brennan: I slept with Sully last night.
- Special Agent Seeley Booth: Oh, I thought you already, uh...
- Dr. Temperance Brennan: No. Last night.
- Special Agent Seeley Booth: Oh. It's really none of my business.
- Dr. Temperance Brennan: Except, we're partners.
- Special Agent Seeley Booth: Yeah, there's that.
- Dr. Temperance Brennan: And you told me about your socks.
- Special Agent Seeley Booth: Sex, socks- pretty much the same word.
- Dr. Temperance Brennan: Do we have a case or are you just visiting?
- Special Agent Seeley Booth: Yeah! It's messy. Better get some protection.
- Dr. Temperance Brennan: Let me get my gum boots.
- Special Agent Seeley Booth: [to himself] Yeah. I'm gonna need a flashier tie.
