Pej Vahdat: Arastoo Vaziri

Quotes 

• Arastoo Vaziri : [after Hodgins accidentally hits himself with nunchakus]  As I was saying, nunchakus are deceptively difficult to maneuver, if you've had no practice... May I?

  [Hodgins hands him the nunchakus] 

  Dr. Jack Hodgins : Okay. Knock yourself out. I did.

• Angela Montenegro : Turns out Neal's the only missing guy with horns. Heh. Go figure.

  Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan : Where was his last known residence?

  Arastoo Vaziri : I'm guessing Mr. Stephen King's basement.

• Arastoo Vaziri : You know, I served as a translator in Iraq. Normal day, milk run to an outlying village about water and an IED took out our humvee.

  Dr. Camille Saroyan : Oh my God.

  Arastoo Vaziri : 2 dead, 3 wounded, and I was the only one left conscious. I'm a translator, I use words. But coming towards us with an AK-47 was an insurgent. He raised it, intending to finish us off.

  Dr. Camille Saroyan : And that was the devil?

  Arastoo Vaziri : No. No. I shot this man, in the heart. The devil, that evil I saw it in his eyes sure, but it was in me too, when I pulled that trigger.

  Dr. Camille Saroyan : You were defending your unit, Mr. Vaziri.

  Arastoo Vaziri : The man lay dead at my feet. I searched his body for identification, and I found a picture of him with his little boy, and his wife laughing. A family. Tell me that the devil did not win on that day.

  Dr. Camille Saroyan : You didn't lose your faith. You pray 5 times a day.

  Arastoo Vaziri : I have to believe that Allah will show me how to live.
