- Seeley Booth: What some nutcase relative of mine did a hundred-plus years ago has nothing to do with me, Bones.
- Temperance Brennan: Okay, I don't understand how that's possible. You should be sick too. Compared to my diet, yours is abhorrent. You eat nothing but meat, cheese and bread.
- Seeley Booth: Sugar. You forgot the sugar. And my beer. I love my beer.
- Temperance Brennan: All of which promote an inflammatory response.
- Seeley Booth: Everyone knows that laughter's the best medicine.
- Temperance Brennan: No, penicillin is the best medicine. It's saved countless millions from infections.
- Seeley Booth: Okay, now what? You're being funny?
- Temperance Brennan: No, I'm being serious.
- Seeley Booth: You'd rather take penicillin over laughter? That's like saying that you'd take mould over the Stooges.
- Temperance Brennan: Penicillin is not a mould. It's derived from fungi.
- Seeley Booth: Well, okay, well, the Stooges are fun guys.
- Agent Brandt Walker: Booth, I just want you to know it wasn't protocol; it's just personal.
- Seeley Booth: Uh, you're mixing your words. You should get some sleep.
- Temperance Brennan: I feel terrible... After the day you've had, the situation should be reversed. I should be taking care of you
- Seeley Booth: No, I'm okay. I'm fine. Actually, it's better than I'm here, you know, taking care of you. It helps me, you know, get my mind off of things.
- Temperance Brennan: I understand. But I know how much it weighs on you to take another life. Whenever you want to talk about it, I'm here. Always.
- Seeley Booth: Bones, I really don't have a choice in the matter, okay? I got to do this."
- Temperance Brennan: I know. But I need you to come home safe.
- Seeley Booth: I will, all right? I will.
- Seeley Booth, Temperance Brennan: Okay, you know what, this is crazy. You should be home.
- Temperance Brennan: No, I disagree. You and I often do our best when working together. Also, I wanted to see how you were feeling.
- Seeley Booth: While the Secret Service is watching out for the president, I'm gonna be watching the Secret Service; you get it? I'm joining your protective detail.
- Temperance Brennan: [Sick in bed, from home, using video connection] I may be sick, but even infirmed I don't know who could be more capable?
- Dr. Colin Fisher: [Enters the lab] Oh, I can think of one person
- Angela Montenegro: Oh my God! Fisher! It's been years. Where have you been?
- Dr. Colin Fisher: Well, wouldn't you like to know?
- Temperance Brennan: Mr. Fisher! You're the expert assigned to this case?
- Dr. Colin Fisher: Yes! Yes. I am and it's Dr. Fisher now, if you will. And I insist you do
- Seeley Booth: Just need to know why you've been spending so much time here at the range recently.
- Travis Bozwell: I don't know. I guess since I've been back, this is the only place that makes sense.
- Travis Bozwell: Look, all I said was he didn't serve. And unless you serve, you shouldn't be allowed to send others off to die.
- Seeley Booth: Travis, I know how you feel. I served. I was a ranger. I saw things that still stay with me. But it gets better
- Temperance Brennan: Booth, please. I know your mind is set, but I need you to be careful. Protective detail is an extremely dangerous assignment.
- James Aubrey: I understand we have a witness?
- Camille Saroyan: Not really, he was pretty intoxicated. He claims he was hit by a pair of matching masked assailants, who swung matching shovels at the exact same time
- James Aubrey: So, he was seeing double, right?
- Jack Hodgins: You're talking about our witless witness?
- Dr. Colin Fisher: Dr. Hodgins, greeting and salutation
- Jack Hodgins: No way, Fisher! What are you doing here?
- Dr. Colin Fisher: Consulting for the Secret Service, leading in Dr. Brennan's absence. Typical man in action stuff
- Jack Hodgins: Wow
- Dr. Colin Fisher: I see Angela wasn't joking about you being paralyzed
- Jack Hodgins: Eh, no, no, not... not a joke. Just a lot of pain, misery and self-loathing
- Dr. Colin Fisher: Feelings in which I am very well versed
- Jack Hodgins: I do remember
- Dr. Colin Fisher: [Bones starts a video conference call] Dr. Brennan, perhaps we could postpone this video conference, as I'm still reassembling the victim's skull. Also I couldn't help but notice: there seems to be a pirate there with you
- Temperance Brennan: Uh, Angela sent her Reiki healer to help with my recovery. Pay no attention to him
- Reiki Healer: By placing my hand next to your temple, I invite the healing and transcendental energy to enter your mind...
- Temperance Brennan: Please, stop talking. It only highlights the absurdity of this exercise
- Camille Saroyan: Have you shown this to Dr. Brennan?
- Dr. Colin Fisher: I tried to call, but she didn't pick up. Which means she either relapsed into sickness, died, or is ignoring my calls
- Camille Saroyan: Let's hope she's just ignoring your calls
- Dr. Colin Fisher: Yes, I suppose that's the better alternative
- Camille Saroyan: [Walks into the room] You found something, Mr. Fisher?
- [Fisher stares at her, doesn't respond, rolls his eyes]
- Camille Saroyan: Doctor! Sorry, habit! What have you found, Dr. Fisher?
- James Aubrey: [Cam just told him to go down the chute] Okay, I am not really a fan of heights or small spaces, but two negatives make positive, right?
