- Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan: Nothing in this universe happens just once. Infinity goes in both directions. There is no unique event, no singular moment.
- [Brennan calls Booth on his cell phone]
- Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan: How far are you from Dulles?
- Special Agent Seeley Booth: As far as your office is from Dulles.
- Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan: Why are you in my office?
- Special Agent Seeley Booth: I need your findings on the Richmond case. Listen, Zack won't tell me where they are unless you give him permission.
- Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan: There's a 9:15 flight to Denver, then there's an 11:35 flight to Santa Fe. You have to run to make the connection.
- Special Agent Seeley Booth: Forget it.
- Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan: Booth, please. Angela's boyfriend is missing... maybe dead. It took all of my charm...
- Special Agent Seeley Booth: All of your charm? Oh boy...
- Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan: ...just to get the sheriff to let me look at the skull. When I asked him to let me send the skull to the Jeffersonian, he told me I am not a cop and I don't have any jurisdiction.
- Special Agent Seeley Booth: Which is true. Okay, look, what do you want me to do?
- Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan: I want you to get Federal on his ass.
- Special Agent Seeley Booth: [smiles smugly and proudly] Oh!
- Special Agent Seeley Booth: Okay, no offense to Angela, but she doesn't really know this guy. She's only with him, what? Only three weeks out of the year?
- Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan: Yeah, no offense to you, but you are a stodgy traditionalist when it comes to relationships, buddy.
- Special Agent Seeley Booth: Stodgy? Stodgy?
- Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan: Yeah, stodgy.
- Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan: Obviously you subconsciously sifted through the rational facts of the case and processed the most likely scenario.
- Special Agent Seeley Booth: I'm sure that's it.
- Special Agent Seeley Booth: Yeah, what else could it be?
- Angela Montenegro: It's the only rational explanation.
- Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan: Wait, are you guys making fun of me?
- Special Agent Seeley Booth: Let's go back home. You know, where there's water and shelter and living things? Come on.
