- Dr. Lance Sweets: Mr. Milford, I'm Dr. Lance Sweets. I'm a psychologist and the reason I'm talking to you is that every time the FBI Agent I work with asked you a question, you spouted Shakespearean verse at him. He doesn't speak Shakespearean.
- Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan: For smart people like Hannah and me, not being jazzed is physically painful.
- Special Agent Seeley Booth: Whoa. Whoa. You're saying that Hannah does extra work because she's bored at home?
- [Booth looks at Bones then Sweets]
- Dr. Lance Sweets: ...No. No.
- Special Agent Seeley Booth: I-I'm an exciting guy. I, for example, I'm making dinner for her tonight - with wine.
- Dr. Lance Sweets: You just decided that now, didn't you?
- Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan: If you're not the cause of her ennui, then it stands to reason you cannot make her happy. It's standard first order logic.
- Hannah Burley: [Enters the apartment and realizes Booth's made dinner] Oh God!
- Special Agent Seeley Booth: What?
- Hannah Burley: You're going to propose.
- Special Agent Seeley Booth: No.
- Hannah Burley: Uh, candles, wine... new toothbrushes?
- Special Agent Seeley Booth: Right.
- Hannah Burley: You went through all this to tell me I have bad breath?
- Special Agent Seeley Booth: No. I just think you need a new toothbrush. Well, actually, we both do.
- Arastoo Vaziri: [Watching the skeleton being reconstructed] I come to work and find myself in the future.
- Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan: Time travel is impossible, Mr. Vaziri... But I know what you mean.
- Dr. Camille Saroyan: [Cam enters] Wow. If you're taking orders, I'd like a 6'4" 37 year old male with uh, good income and no mommy issues.
- Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan: [Watching Russel dance] Fluidity through which he moves should not be possible. It appears as if he has no bones.
- Special Agent Seeley Booth: Well, that would put you out of business, wouldn't it?
- Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan: Dr. Hodgins, would you come over here and be a corpse?
- Dr. Jack Hodgins: ...Yeah.
- Angela Montenegro: Sweeting, you do mean pretend to be a corpse, right? Because the way you're holding that knife, you're looking a little slashery.
- Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan: Booth would be very unhappy if you died.
- Hannah Burley: Would you back down, Temperance, if you thought you were woking on something important?
- Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan: No.
- [Bones chuckles]
- Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan: No, I wouldn't.
- [Bones laughs]
- Hannah Burley: Well, aren't we a pair?... I guess Seely is going to have to resign himself to being worried as long as we're both around.
- Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan: We are. We are quite a pair.
- [Bones laughs]
- Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan: I will find it extremely frustrating if the victim's identity is all we can discern.
- Dr. Camille Saroyan: Well, unless you can take bone dust and turn it back into a full skeleton, this is all we can work with.
- Special Agent Seeley Booth: Is there any chance that I can say "Be careful" and then you can say "Safety first?"
- Hannah Burley: It's worth a shot.
- Special Agent Seeley Booth: Okay, be careful.
- Hannah Burley: "Safety first."
- Special Agent Seeley Booth: Liar.
- Arastoo Vaziri: [Going through a dumpster] Working on two degrees, and *this* is where I end up.
- [Sarcastically]
- Arastoo Vaziri: Tuition money well spent.
- Special Agent Seeley Booth: I think you should back off.
- Hannah Burley: You gotta be kidding me.
- Special Agent Seeley Booth: What? No, at least until you get your health back. Then we can lull him into a false sense of security, then we can catch him together.
- Special Agent Seeley Booth: Busted.
- Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan: Her body language doesn't prove anything.
- Special Agent Seeley Booth: Well, we have different definitions for that, that's for sure. That's why no one can thwart our criminological brilliance.
- Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan: Did you read that off a restaurant placemat?
- Special Agent Seeley Booth: Comic book. I'm on a self-improvement kick, all right?
- Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan: Your fluidity makes it appear as though you have no bones, and I am an expert in bones. So I find that very impressive.
- Russell: Well, thank you. I take that as a compliment - while being intimidated by Law Enforcement.
