Emily Deschanel: Temperance Brennan

The Corpse at the Convention

Temperance Brennan

Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan: I'm no closer to finding the killer than I was when the remains were smoldering.
Special Agent Seeley Booth: Oh.
Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan: Oh... What?
Special Agent Seeley Booth: You think you'll look bad in front of all these forensics geeks if it takes you too long to solve this one.
Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan: *If* I solve this one.
Special Agent Seeley Booth: Alright, look. I'll bet you a hundred bucks they'll be even *more* jealous when it's done.
Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan: Booth, you're in gamblers anonymous. You shouldn't be betting.
Special Agent Seeley Booth: Right, and you're a genius. Alright? So, don't say stupid things.

Aldus Carter: [Calling out to the team investigating the body inside a utility area] High intensity LED lamps. Pure light that won't alter the visual integrity of the evidence.
Dr. Howard Fitch: Dr. Saroyan, I have an RCC tool kit, and some debris sifters that...
Special Agent Seeley Booth: Stop! Stop, alright, everybody? Just keep it down out here, alright?
Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan: I'd like a head lamp.
Dr. Camille Saroyan: Me, too.
Dr. Jack Hodgins: Yeah. Lamps for everyone.
[Goes upstairs to the crowd]
Dr. Jack Hodgins: Who's got the LED lamps?
Aldus Carter: Here. I've got four.
Dr. Jack Hodgins: Thank you.
Aldus Carter: Thank *you*.
Dr. Jack Hodgins: [Returns and hands one to Cam and one to Bones] For you.
Dr. Camille Saroyan: Thank you.
Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan: [Still kneeling over the remains] What is this white crust?
Special Agent Seeley Booth: Where's *my* lamp?

Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan: The rubber is an exact match for your patented and well, quite excellent non-stick gloves, Mr. Carter.
Special Agent Seeley Booth: Couldn't do better with a finger print and do not compliment the murderer.
Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan: Oh, Sorry.

Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan: The fire is still localized. This extinguisher should contain it
[Uses it, but the fire continues even more vigorously]
Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan: This makes no sense! Why isn't it putting out the fire?
Angela Montenegro: Because this isn't the time for a science lesson! Let us just go.

Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan: I thought I'd start my speech with a joke.
Special Agent Seeley Booth: Right.
Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan: Erwin Schrödinger gets pulled over by the police for speeding. The officer says: "What's in the trunk?" Schrödinger said: "A cat". The officer said: "Well, I need to see", so the police officer opens the trunk, he says: "This cat is dead." Schrödinger says: "Well, it is now".
Special Agent Seeley Booth: Give me heads up when the joke's coming.
Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan: Well, that was a joke, Booth. Well, it's based on Schrödinger's famous thought experiment.
Special Agent Seeley Booth: Ah, you know what, I usually judge a joke by how funny it is. And there's no yuks on that one.
Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan: Great. Now my speech for the forensic convention has no beginning.
Special Agent Seeley Booth: Try this for a joke. You hear about the, uh, restaurant on the moon? Great food, but no atmosphere.
Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan: That's not a science joke.
Special Agent Seeley Booth: Yes it is. It's got the word "moon", it's got the word "atmosphere" in it. It's very sciencery.
