- Jack Hodgins: It's as mysterious as Dr. B's birthday party.
- Camille Saroyan: Oh! Speaking of which, I know it's a surprise. But, can you give us a hint on the dress code?
- Temperance Brennan: Yes! *Wearing* clothes would be visible.
- Seeley Booth: Come on, Bones, this is a big one. You're turning 40. You're flipping the old odometer.
- Seeley Booth: Come on, no robot's brain is ever gonna beat a human one. Are you kidding me? At the end of the day, humans have something that robots will never have.
- Temperance Brennan: What?
- Seeley Booth: The soul.
- Temperance Brennan: Booth, I can't embark on my research with the presumption of Zack's innocence.
- Seeley Booth: I have faith in you.
- Temperance Brennan: But your belief in me does make me very happy.
- Seeley Booth: Glad you liked your gift
- Temperance Brennan: Booth, the sodium nitrate in Ian's neck wounds did not conclusively prove that Randy's the killer.
- Seeley Booth: Yeah, but I knew he'd buy it. I mean, come on, see, Bones, you know, that's the difference between robots and people. Robots - they can't use their gut to feel out a situation.
- Temperance Brennan: These files are not for Zack's case, they are for my surprise party
- Seeley Booth: Bones, you do realize you're not supposed to plan your own surprise party?
- Daisy Wick: Dr. Brennan, I've been meaning to ask, would it be okay if I put you down as a reference? Now that I've finally completed my PhD, I've applied for a job as lead forensic anthropologist at the NFL
- Angela Montenegro: Whoa, they need forensic anthropologist in pro football?
- Camille Saroyan: I think the NFL Daisy's referring to is the National Forensic Lab
- Temperance Brennan: I will be your reference, Dr. Wick, but I advise you not to get your hopes up. In light of your young age, landing a job of that status will be a long shot at best
- Angela Montenegro: Uh, didn't you get your job here when you were still in you twenties?
- Temperance Brennan: Yes! But that was clearly an exceptional circumstance
- Temperance Brennan: Booth! This is just as I suspected. His second and third metacarpal show significant angulation
- Seeley Booth: Speak English, please
- AMI: Dr. Brennan appears 78% curious and 22% jealous. Agent Booth is 94% amused and six percent skeptical.
- Seeley Booth: Hey! Listen to that! It's something you feel. Do you hear that? That's our song! Listen. You hear the soul in that? Hot blooded
