- Dr. Jack Hodgins: [looking at two Chinese characters] What does it say?
- Angela Montenegro: It say, "What make foolish man think I speak Chinese?"
- Zack Addy: [holding a pitchfork to sift remains out of a tub of lye] And, I know you requested a strainer of some sort, Dr. Brennan, but I thought this would be of some use.
- Dr. Temperance Brennan: For the big pieces maybe.
- Dr. Camille Saroyan: After that, Old McZacky, get on the horn with the coroner's office and tell them I want two field unit water sifters sent here ASAP.
- Zack Addy: They get mad went I drop your name.
- Dr. Camille Saroyan: Then drop it twice.
- Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan: Are you sure this is the best time to tell them?
- Special Agent Seeley Booth: After two days of nagging me, now you're getting cold feet?
- Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan: I do not nag!
- Special Agent Seeley Booth: Well, you know it's an anthropological inevitability for a woman to gossip and nag.
- Dr. Temperance Brennan: It's nothing to be ashamed of, Booth. Humans act upon a hierarchy of needs, and sex is very highly ranked. It's an anthropological inevitability.
- Special Agent Seeley Booth: Thank you, Bones. I really appreciate you boiling me down to your anthropological inevitabilities.
- Dr. Temperance Brennan: Sure.
- Special Agent Seeley Booth: Anytime.
- Dr. Jack Hodgins: [holding up a wedding band] Braided gold and platinum - preserved by true love, no doubt.
- Angela Montenegro: One metal for each desperate housewife.
- Dr. Camille Saroyan: People, can we at least fake some sense of decorum?
- Angela Montenegro: I can't help it - it's so Jerry Springer!
- Zack Addy: [Bragging to Hodgins] I'm going on police business.
- Dr. Jack Hodgins: So proud.
- [to Cam]
- Dr. Jack Hodgins: Does he mean out? In the world?
- Dr. Camille Saroyan: We'll pin our phone number on his shirt.
- Dr. Jack Hodgins: Man, what I would've given to be a fly on the wall when you told those wives...
- Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan: You would've been swatted, trust me.
- Special Agent Seeley Booth: So now we're talking about a faked homicide to cover up a faked suicide?
- Dr. Temperance Brennan: A faked suicide meant to cover up an *actual, original* murder.
- Special Agent Seeley Booth: Now, just when you think things couldn't get *any* more twisted-
- Dr. Camille Saroyan: [enters] How's *this* for a curveball?
- Special Agent Seeley Booth: In walks Cam.
- Angela Montenegro: First of all, how does anyone juggle two spouses?
- Dr. Jack Hodgins: I can think of ways. Of course, by juggle, I mean liter...
- Dr. Camille Saroyan: I have a scalpel.
- Angela Montenegro: Maybe he dissolved himself so there'd be more of him to go around. I'm going to hell, aren't I?
- Dr. Jack Hodgins: I'll save you a seat.
- Angela Montenegro: What's wrong?
- Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan: What do you mean?
- Angela Montenegro: This is usually where I type and you talk. You two are never not talking.
- Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan: Well, we're not not talking.
- Special Agent Seeley Booth: Or maybe we're not not... not.
- Angela Montenegro: What you thought were teeth marks, Dr Saroyan, turned out to be Chinese characters, graved along the side.
- Dr. Jack Hodgins: What do they say?
- Angela Montenegro: They say, what make foolish man, think I speak Chinese?
- Dr. Jack Hodgins: I thought you were half Chinese?
- Angela Montenegro: And I think you're half Swedish, let's hear some Swedish.
- Special Agent Seeley Booth: You know what Bones it might be all Anthropology to you but there, certain people that you can't sleep with, I mean you can pretend that it's just, sex, you can lie to yourself and you can say it's all good, but then there's, too many strings and, too much at stake, you know, too much to lose.
- Special Agent Seeley Booth: Let me see that. It's bird shot. Or it was. It's compressed copper that's frangible so it breaks apart on impact.
- Dr. Temperance Brennan: Not you, your behavior. It was a textbook example of just how helpless we higher primates can be to our biological urges.
- Dr. Temperance Brennan: You see these marrow cells? The lack of collagen indicates osteogenesis imperfecta. Brittle bone disease.
- Special Agent Seeley Booth: High mortality rate?
- Dr. Temperance Brennan: No. When O. I. is fatal, it's mainly to infants. And only in severe cases.
- Special Agent Seeley Booth: So our guy has a mild case.
- Dr. Temperance Brennan: Type I. Near normal stature fragile bones and joints, off-white sclera.
- Special Agent Seeley Booth: Is this disease hereditary?
- Dr. Temperance Brennan: Mild cases can be. The more severe forms, types II and III are often the result of a genetic mutation. But if our guy is type I and these kids got it passed on from a parent Then all we have to do is contact these kids' families and find out which one is missing a dad.
