- David Barron: [as he's cross-examining Booth] You had motive. He'd fired you that day, and threatened Ms. Julian. By the way, was she at all three locations?
- AUSA Caroline Julian: [rising up] Objection! It's just *rude* to accuse me of murder!
- Special Agent Seeley Booth: I just think he doesn't want to admit that he likes us.
- Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan: Do you like us?
- Dr. Lance Sweets: What?
- Special Agent Seeley Booth: And he wants to spend time with us.
- Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan: Is that true, Sweets? You like us?
- Special Agent Seeley Booth, Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan: [singing] He really likes us.
- Dr. Lance Sweets: All right, you know what? I'm sorry I made the offer. I take it back. Forget it!
- Special Agent Seeley Booth: Okay, you're not Dr. Brennan today. You're Temperance.
- Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan: I don't know what that means.
- Special Agent Seeley Booth: The scientist part of you got sidelined, temporarily.
- Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan: [scoffs] I still don't know what that means.
- Special Agent Seeley Booth: Bones, just take the brain. Okay? And put it in neutral. Take the heart, and put it in overdrive.
- [makes motor sounds]
- Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan: Sometimes I think you're from another planet.
- [smiles]
- Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan: Sometimes I think you're nice
- Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan: I didn't see Angela today.
- Special Agent Seeley Booth: Angela refuses to testify.
- Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan: Why?
- Special Agent Seeley Booth: Probably because she's your best friend.
- Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan: Well, you're my friend. And you don't mind.
- Special Agent Seeley Booth: I mind! We *all* mind. Except for Zack.
- Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan: Well, in that case, Zack is the only one thinking clearly. I had to give Hodgins permission. I don't know what's wrong with everyone.
- Special Agent Seeley Booth: It's not what's wrong, Bones. It's what's *right*!
- Angela Montenegro: If Brennan understands that we aren't crazily competitive about it, then we'll all come through this with our friendships intact.
- Dr. Zack Addy: Besides, Dr. Brennan must realize that we're going to destroy them!
- [everyone looks at Zack. Putting his hands on Zack's shoulders]
- Dr. Jack Hodgins: I will explain "crazily competitive" to Zack over and over again, until he gets it.
- Special Agent Seeley Booth: [rising up] Oh and remember. I'm the one... who gave you this
- [pouring out his coffee]
- Special Agent Seeley Booth: delicious coffee.
- Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan: Why?
- Special Agent Seeley Booth: Why? Because I'm the first prosecution witness against your father.
- [enters the court room]
- Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan: [examining a skeleton that is curled in a circular shape] How could this happen?
- Special Agent Seeley Booth: Umm, maybe he was rolled up in a carpet?
- Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan: Where's the carpet?
- Special Agent Seeley Booth: Well, it rotted away. You know, with the... meaty parts.
- [Bones starts laughing]
- AUSA Caroline Julian: [entering] Excuse me? What is so funny?
- Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan: [forcing back her laughter] Nothing.
- AUSA Caroline Julian: I should hope not, because there's a dead body deserving our respect right in front of you.
- Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan: [Brennan can't contain herself any longer and bursts out laughing]
- AUSA Caroline Julian: I did not know she could laugh.
- Angela Montenegro: If Brennan understands that we aren't crazily competetive about it, then we'll all come through with our friendships intact
- Dr. Zack Addy: Besides, Dr. Brennan must realize that we are going to destroy them.
- AUSA Caroline Julian: Have you no control over these people?
- Dr. Camille Saroyan: None what-so-ever.
- Special Agent Seeley Booth: Look, Caroline, it's Bones! It's different. Let's just admit it!
- AUSA Caroline Julian: Here's what's not different.
- [to Booth]
- AUSA Caroline Julian: Lose the "Cocky" belt buckle.
- [to Hodgins]
- AUSA Caroline Julian: No badges saying "Resist Authority" or "The Truth is Out There."
- [to Zack]
- AUSA Caroline Julian: Do *not* cut your own hair the day before the trial.
- [to Angela]
- AUSA Caroline Julian: Ugly up a little. The plain women on the jury hate you.
- [to Sweets]
- AUSA Caroline Julian: Use your fully grown up words.
- [to Cam]
- AUSA Caroline Julian: Eat! Last time your stomach was growling louder than your testimony.
- Russ Brennan: What about that genius kid at your lab?
- Max Keenan: With the oversized eyes and the toaster head, that guy?
- Clark Edison: I'm sorry if my normal-sized head and eyes diminish your confidence.
- Dr. Lance Sweets: Dr. Brennan everyone you work with, including your therapist...
- Special Agent Seeley Booth: *Former* therapist.
- Dr. Lance Sweets: Is endevoring to imprison your father. That's wicked stressful.
- Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan: Booth is right. It doesn't bother me.
- Dr. Lance Sweets: No, Booth is wrong. *Yes*, it does.
- Special Agent Seeley Booth: Okay, listen up people. Bones, she believes in the system. She finds out that Angela is not going to testify, she's not going to like it. Okay? She'd want us to do our jobs.
- AUSA Caroline Julian: I'm gonna say to you what I always say to you before a trial, because this one is no different than any other trial.
- Dr. Zack Addy: You never said that before.
- AUSA Caroline Julian: What?
- Dr. Jack Hodgins: You never told us that a trial is no different from any other trial.
- Dr. Zack Addy: Which suggests that this one *is* different.
- AUSA Caroline Julian: Have you no control over these people?
- Dr. Camille Saroyan: None whatsoever.
- Angela Montenegro: All of us together, and Brennan alone.
- Dr. Zack Addy: She's not alone. She's with those African-American people.
- Special Agent Seeley Booth: [after telling Dr. Brennan she has to choose between her brain and heart] That's a lot of heart, Bones
- Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan: [as Angela's being escorted to prison for refusing to testify. Bones rises up] Angela please!
- Special Agent Seeley Booth: Sit down!
- Angela Montenegro: [Angela stops] Sweetie, this is one of those times when I know *I'm* right, and everyone else is *confused*!
- Angela Montenegro: Friends don't send friends' fathers to the electric chair.
- Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan: Maryland uses lethal injection.
- Angela Montenegro: Well the principle still holds.
- Caroline Julian: And what was the copper pipe made of?
- Dr. Jack Hodgins: As with most copper pipes, it's made of... copper.
- Caroline Julian: Is he capable of murder?
- Dr. Lance Sweets: Like, totally.
- [Caroline gives him a look]
- Dr. Lance Sweets: Most definitely. Um, in his own way, Max Keenan is a very impressive man.
- Caroline Julian: What do you mean, "In his own way"?
- Dr. Lance Sweets: Well, Max Keenan doesn't adhere to an external ethical system.
- Caroline Julian: He does what he wants.
- Dr. Lance Sweets: No. He does what he thinks is right, whether or not the rest of the world agrees. In another time, he could have been a great leader.
- Caroline Julian: You mean in a time when people conked each other on the head and lit them on fire as a way of getting what they want.
- Dr. Lance Sweets: Yes.
- Caroline Julian: Is Max Keenan dangerous?
- Dr. Lance Sweets: When he feels his loved ones are threatened? Mega dangerous.
- Caroline Julian: In your opinion, if Max Keenan felt that he was threatened or his family was threatened, could he do this?
- Dr. Lance Sweets: Totally.
- [he pauses to look at the picture of the victim on the screen]
- Dr. Lance Sweets: I mean, indubitably.
- Caroline Julian: Without hesitation?
- Dr. Lance Sweets: Without hesitation, without remorse, without guilt.
- Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan: I'm fine.
- Dr. Lance Sweets: If you were fine, you'd be balled up in a corner, weeping or semi-catatonic.
- Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan: [turning to Booth] Does that sound fine to you?
- Special Agent Seeley Booth: I'm sorry, Bones, but I'm going to have to agree with Sweets on this one.
- Dr. Lance Sweets: I think it's important for you to know that *we* know that the colder more objective you appear on the outside, the more pain you feel on the inside.
- Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan: I'm fine!
- Dr. Lance Sweets: No, you're not!
- Russ Brennan: You should have... you know, you should have run, Dad! You should have taken off!
- Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan: Dad stayed for me. He knew that if he ran, we'd never see each other again.
- [turning to Max]
- Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan: You stayed for me.
- Max Keenan: Oh, he's a full-grown scientist?
- Clark Edison: I shave, sir. I have a driver's license. I've won a couple of fist fights. I've saved a life. I've lain with women. I've been hustled at pool. I've defied my father's wishes. I have broken hearts and I have been heartbroken. So, by all the markers of this society, I am a grown man.
- Max Keenan: Oh. You've "lain with women"?
- Angela Montenegro: [watching the defense exam evidence] I hate this. I *hate* it!
- Dr. Camille Saroyan: What? Strangers on our forensic platform?
- Dr. Jack Hodgins: Ange doesn't like that we're on different sides.
- Angela Montenegro: All of us together, and Brennan alone.
