• Special Agent Seeley Booth : Look, you were my father, all right? He was never there for me. You raised me not him. He was never there, understand? You don't have to defend him to me.

  Hank Booth : I wasn't! I was just trying to remind you that he was my son. Good or bad - he was my son. I gotta tell you, I'm a little disappointed that you don't seem to see the hurt I'm feeling.

  Special Agent Seeley Booth : I'm sorry, Pops.

  Hank Booth : You don't think I feel responsible? I raised him. Don't you feel responsible for your boy? Now Seeley, we're family, we gotta get through this together.

  Special Agent Seeley Booth : You're right. Anything for you, Pops. Anything.

  [Hank sighs] 

  Hank Booth : a father as good as I had. Thank you for raising him to be the man I could never be."
