Special Agent Seeley Booth : Tax shelter? Exactly how loaded are you?
Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan : Well *that* is an offensive way to phrase the question, but... quite loaded. I'm betting a seven figure advance for my next book.
Special Agent Seeley Booth : Seven figures? Wow! Without the decimal point?
Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan : The publisher makes considerably more.
Special Agent Seeley Booth : What's the first of those seven figures?
Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan : A prime number. What do you do with your money?
Special Agent Seeley Booth : Use it for food, rent.
-
Dr. Temperance Brennan : Well, I sent an intern who apparently loves bears, which, in reality, would devour a small child.
-
Sheriff Delpy : Barely a scratch on the boy. It's a miracle.
Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan : Hardly, Car seats are specifically emgineered to protect the child.
Special Agent Seeley Booth : From what? Flying out of the back of the car and landing in a tree?
-
Special Agent Seeley Booth : Oh look at him, Bones. He looks a little fussy there. Why don't you pick him up and give him a cuddle.
Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan : Just because I have breasts doesn't mean I have magical powers over infants. You're the one with a son.
Special Agent Seeley Booth : All right. Fine. I'll take him. Here you go.
[hands the diaper bag to Bones]
Special Agent Seeley Booth : You have fun with the diaper bag. You look good.
[picking up the baby]
Special Agent Seeley Booth : Come here little man.
-
Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan : Oh no. He must've...
Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan , Special Agent Seeley Booth : ...swallowed it.
Special Agent Seeley Booth : [handing the baby to Bones] Okay here you go. Get used to him.
Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan : What do you mean?
Special Agent Seeley Booth : That key was evidence. You know how chain of custody works. The kid stays with us until we get the key back.
-
Dr. Temperance Brennan : [to Andy] No, elephants are not purple. This is wrong.
[she goes through the diaper bag; as Booth returns, she turns back to Andy]
Dr. Temperance Brennan : Hey, look at that, he flipped over!
-
Dr. Temperance Brennan : Phalanges! Phalanges! Dancing Phalanges!
-
Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan : No one filled a report, Booth. No one's worried about him.
Special Agent Seeley Booth : Yeah, well you are.
-
Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan : I don't understand. He's been fed, he's changed. I patted him. And now he's just complaining.
Special Agent Seeley Booth : He's acting like a real kid.
-
Special Agent Seeley Booth : First the key, now jewelry! What's next? You gonna let him play with a bowling ball?
Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan : I'm *watching* him!
-
Special Agent Seeley Booth : [pulling up to the victim's home] Front door is open, you stay here.
Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan : But...
Special Agent Seeley Booth : Bones, there's a *baby* involved. You hear gunfire, anything like that, drive away!
Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan : I'm not leaving you!
Special Agent Seeley Booth : Yes you will! Because this is about the *baby*, *not* me. Promise me!
Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan : [pause; Bones looks at the baby then at Booth] I promise.
-
Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan : You have no idea what that place is like, Booth. Med students, under funded, under staffed.
Special Agent Seeley Booth : Bones.
Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan : His mother is dead. His father is a felon. I've been in his situation, Booth. I'm *not* turning him over until I'm satisfied he is somewhere safe, where he'll get the care he deserves!
Special Agent Seeley Booth : Fine. He can stay with us... for now.
Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan : Thank you.
-
Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan : Booth.
Special Agent Seeley Booth : Yeah.
Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan : I think he's making the face again.
Special Agent Seeley Booth : [as he's changing the diaper] I'm serious, Bones. Next time, you're changing the diaper!
