"Bones" The Parts in the Sum of the Whole (TV Episode 2010) - David Boreanaz as Seeley Booth

Special Agent Seeley Booth : I'm the gambler. I believe in giving this a chance. Look, I want to give this a shot.

Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan : You mean us? No. The FBI won't let us work together.

Special Agent Seeley Booth : Don't do that! That is no reason.

[They kiss]

Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan : No. No.

Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan : [Crying] You - you thought you were protecting me. But you're the one who needs protecting.

Special Agent Seeley Booth : Protection from what?

Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan : From me. I don't have your kind of open heart.

Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan : [Quietly] If we don't work together any more, we could have sex.

Special Agent Seeley Booth : I'll call a cab!

Special Agent Seeley Booth : I just feel like um, this is going somewhere.

Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan : Why did you feel this is going somewhere?

Special Agent Seeley Booth : Oh I just... I feel like I want to kiss you.

Dr. Lance Sweets : You kissed?

Special Agent Seeley Booth : Yes.

Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan : There was tongue contact.

Dr. Lance Sweets : My book is crap!

Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan : Well, anthropologically speaking, paramilitaristic organizations tend to constrain individuality.

Special Agent Seeley Booth : That's for sure.

Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan : But in any group, no matter how restrictive, the free thinkers, the mavericks, the rebels with leadership qualities find a way to declare their distinctiveness.

Special Agent Seeley Booth : I'd ask you out if I could.

Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan : Why can't you?

Special Agent Seeley Booth : Well FBI rules again. No fraternizing with other agents, or consultants.

Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan : That's too bad.

Special Agent Seeley Booth : Glad you think so.

Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan : [after Bones hits Judge Haley] Is this very bad?

Special Agent Seeley Booth : I have been wanting to do that for years. You are so hot!

Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan : We are not spending the night together.

Special Agent Seeley Booth : Of course we aren't. Why?

Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan : Tequila.

[Bones enters the cab]

Special Agent Seeley Booth : Hey!

[Booth runs to the cab]

Special Agent Seeley Booth : Hold - hold that cab. Hold that cab! Hey, so you afraid that when I look at you in the morning I'll have regrets?

Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan : That would never happen.

Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan : [First meeting] Are you a student here?

Special Agent Seeley Booth : Special Agent Seely Booth from the FBI.

Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan : I'm Dr. Temperance Brennan of the Jeffersonian Institute.

Special Agent Seeley Booth : Do you believe in fate?

Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan : Absolutely not. Ludicrous.

[Jump to the present]

Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan : I still don't.

Special Agent Seeley Booth : And I still do.

Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan : I find that I'm annoyed with you.

Special Agent Seeley Booth : Why, because I fired and hired you back? It's the Federal Government.

Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan : No. Because you got me drunk to fire me and then have sex with me.

Special Agent Seeley Booth : Oh no, I got myself drunk so I could fire you. And you decided not to have sex with me which I accepted, gracefully. So you regretting that decision?

Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan : No. I'm not. It was a very good decision. I stand by it.

Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan : We're not in love with each other. It took a year after we kissed to be in the same room together.

Special Agent Seeley Booth : Oh absolutely right. No more kissing or anything.

Dr. Lance Sweets : You called evidence crap. And she basically called you stupid.

Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan : We were feeling each other up. Like a honeymoon period.

Special Agent Seeley Booth : Out. We were feeling each other out.

Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan : Can we still work together?

Special Agent Seeley Booth : Yeah.

Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan : Thank you.

Special Agent Seeley Booth : But I gotta move on. You know, I gotta find someone who's- who's going to love me in 30 years, or 40 or 50.

Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan : I know

Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan : I'm Dr. Temperance Brennan from the Jeffersonian.

Special Agent Seeley Booth : Uh, don't bother. You know, never remember Squints.

Caroline Julian : That's correct. And you know why?

Special Agent Seeley Booth : Why?

Caroline Julian : Because they get all wishy washy, and flip floppy on the witness stand. So it's better I *don't* remember the last time they let me down when I need 'em again.

Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan : Even though my time and expertise are extremely valuable, I accept your decision to test my abilities. Obviously, I passed with a lot of color.

Special Agent Seeley Booth : Pardon me?

Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan : It means I did very well.

Special Agent Seeley Booth : Oh, right. You, um... Flying colors. You passed with flying colors.

Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan : Yes. I know.

Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan : Can I come in and watch you broil the suspect?

Special Agent Seeley Booth : Yeah, I could broil. But, I think you mean grill.

Zack Addy : Are you Special Agent Booth?

Special Agent Seeley Booth : What are you? Oh. The Jeffersonian. You must be one of the squints.

Zack Addy : I'm not familiar with that term.

Special Agent Seeley Booth : Squint. You know, you guys... you squint when you look at things?

[pointing at Zack's face]

Special Agent Seeley Booth : Just like that.

Zack Addy : It was immensely stupid of you to fire us.

Special Agent Seeley Booth : I'm sorry, but did you just call me stupid?

Zack Addy : I can only conclude that you are immensely stupid.

Special Agent Seeley Booth : What is that? Is that a monkey?

Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan : No. This is an Ardipithecus ramidus kadabba. The earliest known...

Special Agent Seeley Booth : Okay. Abracadabra can wait.

Special Agent Seeley Booth : [after Dr. Sweets summarizes his conclusion about Brennan and Booth being in love] I just told you it's not what you think and you immediately say what you think.

Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan : That's your interpretation. We recognize your right to interpret.

Dr. Lance Sweets : You do?

Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan : That's your right as a psychologist to get everything wrong.

Special Agent Seeley Booth : Okay, excuse me, you know what, you really need to learn how to speak to human beings.

Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan : I speak six languages, two of which you've never heard of.

Special Agent Seeley Booth : You know what? You're a cold fish.

Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan : You're a superstitious moron.

Special Agent Seeley Booth : Get a soul!

Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan : Get a brain!

FBI Forensics Tech : Agent Booth?

Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan , Special Agent Seeley Booth : What?

Special Agent Seeley Booth : [to Bones] *I'm* Agent Booth.
