- Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan: But in a real sense. He's here. Sweets is a part of us. Our lives... who we all are at this moment, have been shaped by our relationships with Sweets. Well, each of us is like a delicate equation. And Sweets was the variable without which we wouldn't be who we are. I might not have married Booth. Or had Christine. Daisy certainly wouldn't be carrying his child. We are all who we are because we knew Sweets. So, I don't need a... a God to praise him or the universe he sprang from, because I loved him. I used to try and explain love, define it as the secretion of... chemicals and hormones. But I believe now, remembering Sweets, seeing what he left us, that love cannot be explained by... science or religion. It's beyond the mind, beyond reason. What I do know loving Sweets... loving each other, that's what makes life worthwhile. Right now... I don't need to know more than that. Which is embarrassing coming from an extremely intelligent, fact-based person.
- Daisy Wick: Lance helped, didn't he?
- Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan: We couldn't have done this without him
- Dr. Camille Saroyan: [Bones, enters, Cam waves her to be silent, hangs up the phone] Dr. Brennan
- Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan: I need a laser microtome to complete my immunohistological study of Cooper's bones. The request is being denied without your signature
- Dr. Camille Saroyan: Sure. You're gonna slice up the few remaining bones we have of Cooper's?
- Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan: It's the only thing left to do. The one place we haven't thoroughly examined is his marrow
- Dr. Camille Saroyan: Okay, well, I will give you...
- [phone rings]
- Dr. Camille Saroyan: Oh, excuse me.
- [picks up the phone]
- Dr. Camille Saroyan: Dr. Saroyan
- [Bones gets annoyed]
- Dr. Camille Saroyan: you can email me the different options... Thank you
- [hangs up]
- Dr. Camille Saroyan: I'm sorry, where were we?
- Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan: If you have something more important to do than find Cooper's killer...
- Dr. Camille Saroyan: No, but I...
- [turns her computer screen towards Bones]
- Dr. Camille Saroyan: I'm planning Sweets' funeral
- Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan: [ashamed] Oh
- Dr. Camille Saroyan: He had no immediate family other than us and since I have no more flesh to examine, I figured this would be a good use of my time. Do you disagree?
- Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan: No. I'm sorry
- Dr. Camille Saroyan: Okay, I'm gonna give you this. It's a blanket authorization so you shouldn't have any more problems
- Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan: Is there anything I can do?
- Dr. Camille Saroyan: There is! Find out who's behind this!
- Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan: Booth, you are the one who's running away! You're running away from everything you believe in! Why? Because it's not going the way you want it to? Because it's too difficult for you? What kind of man does that make you, huh? How will you face your God if you... kill an innocent man? Is your faith in him so weak? Your faith in... in me? You're a good man, Booth. Don't let them take that away! Because that really will be the death of you.
- Special Agent Seeley Booth: I just want this to stop. I want this to stop.
- Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan: It will
- Special Agent Seeley Booth: Wait a second. One more thing. Music. Right? Sweets had this song, remember he had that jam. Brother had a coconut...
- Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan: [Speaking to everyone at Sweets' ash scattering ceremony] "... the concept of God is merely a foolish attempt to explain the unexplainable."
- Angela Montenegro: I just wished that we'd never have uncovered this whole conspiracy
- Dr. Jack Hodgins: But we did. And if we're going to put an end to it, we need to destroy its central nervous system
- Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan: The conspiracy is not an sentient life form, Dr. Hodgins
- Dr. Jack Hodgins: I disagree. It's grown the same way any living organism grows
- Dr. Clark Edison: Then how do you suggest to break down this organism to give us the leader?
- Angela Montenegro: This is like a...
- Dr. Jack Hodgins: Like a eukaryote phagotrophic bacterivore
- Angela Montenegro: I have no idea what that is, but you've been right so far, so yeah
- Angela Montenegro: So, using your theory, which is actually Dr. Gerald Karp's cell theory, the conspiracy is taken the shape of living, growing organism
- Dr. Jack Hodgins: God, I love you!
- Angela Montenegro: Well, you can love me later
- FBI Special Agent James Aubrey: [to Bones] Are you sure?
- Special Agent Seeley Booth: She is always sure when she speaks
- Special Agent Seeley Booth: You know what? I should've served the warrant. You know? Not Sweets.
- Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan: It's not your fault...
- Special Agent Seeley Booth: It is my fault, Bones, okay? Look, I am the senior agent. Do you understand? It is my responsibility. That's why we're going to find out what happened, who's behind all of this. We're gonna do that for Sweets. We have to do that. All right? He was... family.
- Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan: Yes, he was
- Special Agent Seeley Booth: You know, you tried to poison everything I love about this country. But you're just a pathetic little man who's gonna die in prison. And you can't control that, and that's a promise.
- Special Agent Seeley Booth: Are you a good shot?
- FBI Special Agent James Aubrey: I don't miss
- Special Agent Seeley Booth: Neither do I, so get ready for a kill shot.
- Dr. Jack Hodgins: So, in 1944 the US Army used wire recorders such as this to record fake information to confuse German spies
- Dr. Camille Saroyan: Dr. Hodgins, please tell me you put in a proper requisition for this and didn't steal from the exhibit
- Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan: Your signature gave me blanket approval for all our requisitions. Thank you again
- Special Agent Seeley Booth: And this conspirency is over
- Caroline Julian: And how do you propose to do that, Cher?
- Special Agent Seeley Booth: With a little help from Sweets
- Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan: Sweets always said: "The beginning of a criminal career starts with too much caution or too much arrogance". Either way, the killer leaves a clue
- Christine Booth: I'm ready. Uncle Sweets and Daisy are taking me to the park today. They said we can ride the paddle boat.
- Deputy Director Victor Stark: Welcome back, Agent Booth.
- Special Agent Seeley Booth: Deputy Director Stark. You know what? I'm here because of Sweets, okay, and he'd want that.
- Deputy Director Victor Stark: Whatever the reason, I'm grateful.
- Special Agent Seeley Booth: Nothing pisses me off more than being lied to, and you lied to me twice.
- Caroline Julian: This office always did look better with you in it, Cher. Warms my little heart. So, what have you got for your favorite girl?
