Special Agent Seeley Booth : What's going on?
Dr. Jack Hodgins : Sweets is firing Daisy for us.
Dr. Camille Saroyan : We're wondering what his method will be.
Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan : He'll explain to her logically that this environment is not conducive for either her or us and, as a scientist, she'll realize that he's right.
Special Agent Seeley Booth : No, Sweets is a lot sneakier than that. He'll use some kind of psychological Jedi mind trick to make her think it was her idea to quit.
Dr. Lance Sweets : I've got some good news and some bad news. Which would you like first?
Daisy Wick : The bad first.
Dr. Lance Sweets : You're toast here. Nobody wants to work with you.
Daisy Wick : Why?
Dr. Lance Sweets : You know why, Daisy. There are some things that you have to work on when it comes to interpersonal relations.
Daisy Wick : Does anybody like me?
Dr. Lance Sweets : No, I'm afraid not.
Daisy Wick : What's the good news?
Dr. Lance Sweets : There's absolutely no reason for us to be discreet about our relationship anymore.

Angela Montenegro : Yes. Roxy is gay. At least she was when we were together.
Special Agent Seeley Booth : In school?
Angela Montenegro : Yes.
Special Agent Seeley Booth : Oh, you heard rumors.
Angela Montenegro : No, I have firsthand knowledge.
Special Agent Seeley Booth : Oh, you walked in on her. That's awkward.
Angela Montenegro : No. We were together. For over a year.
Special Agent Seeley Booth : Wow! You and, uh, Roxy?
Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan : You have a problem with that?
Special Agent Seeley Booth : No. I was just processing the information there. That's all. And, in doing so, I was... envisioning you and her, you know, together and, uh... Well not both together... but... Really?
-
Dr. Camille Saroyan : [after Dr. Sweets tells Daisy that she is fired, they decide to come out with their relationship and begin making out on the forensic platform] That's a method of termination I've never tried. But bravo, Dr. Sweets.
Special Agent Seeley Booth : Whoa. They'll never work. They're like complete opposites.
Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan : I agree. For all her faults she's a woman of science. Sweets bases his life on the vagaries of psychology and emotion. You know, there's no common ground.
Special Agent Seeley Booth : Right.
Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan : You need common ground. What else is there?
Special Agent Seeley Booth : Absolutely.
[Then Bones and Booth look intently towards each other]

Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan : If you're relying on superstition for safety perhaps I should carry the gun.
Special Agent Seeley Booth : No. You are definitely *not* carrying the gun!
-
Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan : I was going to say that I had an accident over here, but I don't like lying.
Dr. Camille Saroyan : You dumped a bucket full of domestic beetles onto this work of art. They'll strip the flesh off our victim in no time.
Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan : Within 30 hours... Am I fired?
Dr. Camille Saroyan : Au contraire. Remind me of this moment around Christmas bonus time.
-
Angela Montenegro : I honestly didn't think it would be murder.
Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan : Which makes your conclusion all the more credible.
Angela Montenegro : Only you would find that comforting.
-
Caroline Julian : Okay, I got the injunction removed. You are free to crack open the car and remove the remains.
Special Agent Seeley Booth : Thanks, Caroline. You are da bomb.
Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan : Why is *she* the bomb?
Special Agent Seeley Booth : No. *Da* bomb.
-
Special Agent Seeley Booth : [as Booth is picking a lock] Look, if anybody asks, the door was open.
Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan : No, it isn't.
[Booth turns and looks at her]
Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan : Ahh right.
-
Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan : I don't understand. And I am not used to not understanding.
-
Special Agent Seeley Booth : How long have you and Thorne hated each other?
Anton Deluca : You can write down since before the Big Bang.
Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan : Oh, no, there was no before before the Big Bang. Because time didn't exist. If there are no organizing properties...
Special Agent Seeley Booth : Bones, I'm just gonna write down it's been awhile.
-
Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan : Okay, now what we want to do here is remove the skull very carefully.
[Daisy reaches for the skull]
Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan : Carefully.
[Daisy accidentally crushes the skull]
Dr. Camille Saroyan : ...I can't believe you did that.
Dr. Jack Hodgins : Bummer.
Daisy Wick : Usually when you say "we" you mean me! I'm so sorry. I'll put it together. I will stay up all night!
Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan : I'll do it.
Daisy Wick : Well I will assist you every step of the way. I will never leave your side!
Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan : I would prefer to do it alone.

Special Agent Seeley Booth : Whoa. You wanna explain this to me?
Roxie Lyon : Uh. Recently, Geoffrey's been talking about finding a way to make himself a part of the art.
Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan : Do you mean literally?
Helen Bridenbecker : [Reverently] The ultimate artistic act.
Roxie Lyon : Geoffrey was depressed, and he said he felt like he'd reached his limit as an artist.
Special Agent Seeley Booth : We'd like to show you a picture of the remains only if you're up for it.
Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan : [Pointing to a photo] I suggest you don't look at the person, but rather this distinct ring.
Helen Bridenbecker : That's Geoffrey.
Roxie Lyon : I know that ring. I designed it myself. It's Geoffrey.
Helen Bridenbecker : [Softly] Bravo, Geoffrey.
Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan : You are an extremely unlikable woman.
