Angela Montenegro : [Angela and Brennan are standing on the catwalk above the lab] Look, you finally got to slap Russ. You've been wanting to do that for years.
[Angela and Brennan chuckle]
Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan : I worshipped him, you know. God, he was so cool. Everyone knew I was Russ Brennan's little sister. I wasn't cool or pretty, so being his sister... You know that game Marco Polo? I'd be sitting in class, and I'd hear out the window, "Marco!"
[laughs]
Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan : It'd be Russ checking in on me... and letting everyone know that I was his little sister.
Angela Montenegro : Did you "Polo?"
Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan : Yeah, sometimes it'd be the only word I said all day - "Polo." And then Mom and Dad disappeared, and Russ took off. Suddenly, no one cared where I was. I miss that. Someone caring where I am all the time.
Special Agent Seeley Booth : [Downstairs on the lab floor] Bones! Bones! You up there? Come on. Let's go, huh. Chop-chop.
[Brennan looks at Angela and rolls her eyes, oblivious to the fact that Booth cares where she is all the time]

Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan : The NCIC database? That's... that's criminals! My parents were on a list of federal offenders?
Russ Brennan : How do you like that? Guess a criminal nature runs in the family.
Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan : [holding up a picture of her brother] You were seven years old, Russ. Old enough to remember. What... what is your real name? What is *my* real name?
Special Agent Seeley Booth : Bones, it's right here in the file.
Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan : [turning to Booth] No! *No!* I want *him* to tell me!
[exhales, and faces Russ]
Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan : What is my real name, Russ?
Russ Brennan : [long pause] My name was Kyle. Your name was Joy.
Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan : *You* are not my brother!
[slaps Russ]
Special Agent Seeley Booth : Bones!
Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan : No! He lied about that! What else are you lying about? What else are you not telling us?
[angrily walks off]

Special Agent Seeley Booth : The weapons that McVicar had on him, they're a violation of his agreement with the Witness Protection Program. I'm gonna take him into custody. I'm gonna get a warrant. I'm gonna search his farm.
Russ Brennan : Search for what?
Special Agent Seeley Booth : McVicar liked to bash in people's heads. Maybe we'll get lucky and match the weapon he used on your mother.
Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan : It's unlikely.
Special Agent Seeley Booth : In that case, we'll still ruin his day.

Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan : [shaken] My name is Brennan. I'm Dr.-Dr. Temperance Brennan. I work at the Jeffersonian Institution. I'm a forensic anthropologist. I specialize in identif...
[starts to cry]
Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan : in identifying-in identifying people when nobody knows who they are. My father was science teacher. My mother was a bookkeeper. My brother- I have a brother. I'm Dr. Temperance Brennan.
Special Agent Seeley Booth : I know who you are. Hey, I know. It's ok. I know.
[Booth holds Bones as she starts to sob]
