-
Special Agent Seeley Booth : Well, Dr. Brennan just wonders how someone of that importance could disappear.
Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan : So - so quietly?
Dr. Adit Gadh : "I will show you fear in a hand full of dust." T.S. Elliot. We don't actually fear death. We fear that - no one will notice our absense. That we will disappear without a trace.
-
Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan : I got the signal, Booth. I don't want to have any regrets.
Special Agent Seeley Booth : [Long pause. Booth realizes what Bones means] Um, I'm with someone, Bones. And Hannah - she's not a consolation prize. I love her.
[Bones cries]
Special Agent Seeley Booth : The last thing I want to do is hurt you, but those are the facts.
Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan : ...I understand. I missed my chance. My whole world turned upside down. I can adjust.

Micah Leggat : [after listening to a recording of the victim] It's like a voice from beyond the grave.
Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan : Like my voice.
Micah Leggat : Very similar, yeah.
Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan : It sounds exactly like my voice. She is me.
Micah Leggat : She isn't you. She's her, and you're you. You're alive and she's dead. Ergo. Ipso-facto. Colombo. Oreo.

Micah Leggat : Musing out loud? In the nine years that we've known each other, I've never heard you do that before.
Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan : Actually, Micah, I was having a conversation with the victim... I ask her questions... and she answers.
Micah Leggat : Tell you what, Doc, don't be mentioning that to anybody else but me.
Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan : Why?
Micah Leggat : Cause, uh, they'll think you've gone nuts.
-
Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan : The victim. Does she remind you of anyone?
Angela Montenegro : Sweetie, when you describe people in generalities like age and size, it fits a lot of people.
[Bones hands Angela a ring]
Angela Montenegro : Your dolphin ring. So what?
Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan : It's not mine. It's the victim's.
-
Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan : How did the opiates get into the tree?
Dr. Camille Saroyan : Dr. Brennan?... It's good to get an insight into the victim, but I'm not certain that this line of inquiry leads directly to her murderer.
Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan : I... I feel like it will.
Angela Montenegro : Okay. It's a little weird that you said that, Sweetie. But it's good.
Dr. Jack Hodgins : [Quietly to Angela] Good? If I said something like that she'd rip my head off.
-
Special Agent Seeley Booth : DC Metro Missing Persons investigated. Case went cold. Didn't go anywhere.
Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan : How can that be? The woman was a surgeon.
Hannah Burley : Single. No kids. Outside of people at work, there was no one to miss her.

Micah Leggat : By the power invested in me by the Jeffersonian Institution, I declare you sleep deprived. There's a cab waiting to take you home to bed.
Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan : Do you really have that power?
Micah Leggat : I saw a lecture with this New Age Guru type. Said the only power people exert on us is the power we allow them to exert.
Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan : Well, it's incredibly stupid.
Micah Leggat : I agree. You wave a gun in my face, you've got power whether I like it or not.
Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan : How - how come I understand every word you say? Always. I don't have that with anybody else. Sometimes I just hear... noise.
Micah Leggat : Well, guess I've been here so long, I speak the secret language of the Jeffersonian.
-
Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan : I have nothing left for me to discover from the hard evidence.
Micah Leggat : Well, that's the whole problem with being an Empirist.
Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan : What is?
Micah Leggat : Eventually you run out of things to measure, smell and count.
