- Special Agent Seeley Booth: Nice hat, huh. Come on, I'll take you back to the lab.
- Dr. Temperance Brennan: What happened with your RECO bust?
- Special Agent Seeley Booth: [Looks at her] Nothing. Why?
- [laughs shortly]
- Special Agent Seeley Booth: Have you been talking to Cam?
- Dr. Temperance Brennan: No. Did you do something wrong?
- Special Agent Seeley Booth: [Defensively] "What do you mean?
- Dr. Temperance Brennan: Well you didn't get the credit you deserved. What did you do?
- Special Agent Seeley Booth: Life is not always about credit.
- Dr. Temperance Brennan: Well, that's not what you said before. You said life was all about credit and that you were going to Hawaii and they were going to put you on a coin...
- Special Agent Seeley Booth: Alright, let's just forget about, ok Bones? Forget about it.
- [Walks away]
- Dr. Temperance Brennan: Jared warned me that you tend to sabotage yourself.
- Special Agent Seeley Booth: [Sarcastically] *Jared* said that?
- Dr. Temperance Brennan: Mm-hmm. He said that you're afraid of success.
- Special Agent Seeley Booth: [Angry] Hm. So basically, I'm a loser.
- Dr. Temperance Brennan: No, he never said the word loser.
- Special Agent Seeley Booth: [Walks up to her] Do you think I'm a loser? Like that guy in there? Some clown in some dumbass uniform who basically can't do anything better? Is *that* what you think?
- Dr. Temperance Brennan: Well, anthropologically, males tend to rank themselves into a hierarchy. There is no shame in not being at the top of the hierarchy.
- Special Agent Seeley Booth: [Furious] You're not answering the question, Bones. Answer *my* question.
- [They stare at each other. Phone rings after a tense silence. He doesn't take his eyes off her and picks up his phone]
- Special Agent Seeley Booth: Booth.
- Dr. Camille Saroyan: Can I offer you a little insight into Booth's little brother?
- Dr. Clark Edison: Oh God, why am I always standing in precisely the wrong place?
- [Clark starts to leave]
- Dr. Temperance Brennan: I didn't have sex with him, Cam.
- Angela Montenegro: [Angela enters] Didn't have sex with who?
- Dr. Camille Saroyan: Jared Booth.
- Angela Montenegro: Good.
- Dr. Temperance Brennan: Good? Why good?
- Dr. Camille Saroyan: Because... because...
- Angela Montenegro: Because he's Booth's little brother. And it would just be a creepy way to have sex with a Booth without having sex with the *real* Booth.
- Dr. Camille Saroyan: Kudos Angela. I would not have had the guts to say that out loud.
- Dr. Temperance Brennan: [to Jared] You took advantage of him. You know, you made me think that he's a loser! And what *really* makes me angry, is that I believed you! You know, I wouldn't blame Booth if he never spoke to me again. You're the loser!
- Dr. Jack Hodgins: You said you didn't want to work with us anymore.
- Dr. Clark Edison: No. I said my preferred work style tends towards the professional. See my tie? That's an indicator.
- Angela Montenegro: Mmhmm. So why'd you come back then?
- Dr. Clark Edison: Because this is the finest forensic facility in the world.
- Dr. Jack Hodgins: You want to fight MIGs you fly MIG alley, right?
- Dr. Temperance Brennan: [after Angela meets Jared Booth] Are you thinking of leaving lesbianism behind?
- Angela Montenegro: I prefer not to be labelled, okay?
- Special Agent Seeley Booth: Any idea how the body got in there?
- State Police Instructor: I guess anybody could have done it any time in the last three days.
- Dr. Temperance Brennan: Male. 45 to 50 years old. Do we know where the rest of the remains are?
- State Police Instructor: [Indicating all around them] Yes. One leg is over there. The other's over there. And the arm is over there. Did I kill this man?
- Dr. Temperance Brennan: No.
- State Police Instructor: [sighing with relief] Okay.
- Dr. Temperance Brennan: This man was shot in the chest.
- State Police Instructor: [to Booth, shaken] Would you be at all upset if I had a little cry?
- State Police Instructor: [Looking at a body that's just landed on a car] We're gonna need a... um, uh, a fire extinguisher... then... maybe some sort of...
- [shakily]
- State Police Instructor: trauma counselor.
- Jared Booth: So who else have you got for me Seely?
- Special Agent Seeley Booth: What am I? Your pimp?
- Jared Booth: Don't think I'm not appreciative.
- Dr. Temperance Brennan: Well Clark's got everything under control, so I can go.
- Special Agent Seeley Booth: What?
- Jared Booth: Really?
- Special Agent Seeley Booth: Huh?
- Jared Booth: Why, thank you.
- Special Agent Seeley Booth: [to Bones] No.
- Jared Booth: Wha - uh - wait, this is Bones, right? Not some ugly FBI woman with a mustache.
- Dr. Temperance Brennan: I don't have a mustache, Jared.
- Special Agent Seeley Booth: I don't wanna talk about my brother.
- Dr. Temperance Brennan: Would you prefer Sweets do it?
- Special Agent Seeley Booth: I'm listening.
- Jared Booth: Camille ?
- Dr. Camille Saroyan: Jarhead! It's really you.
- Jared Booth: Jarheads are Marines. I'm a lieutenant commander in the Navy. Not an acceptable mistake.
- Dr. Camille Saroyan: He's getting so big. Soon he'll be wanting a later curfew and a car of his own.
- Special Agent Seeley Booth: Jared, this here is my partner, Dr. Temperance Brennan. That back there is a squint. Bones, this is my little brother.
- Jared Booth: Bones ?
- Special Agent Seeley Booth: Dr. Brennan.
- Dr. Temperance Brennan: It is nice to meet you, Jarhead. I can see the family resemblance. Your facial structure is even more symmetrical than Booth's.
- Jared Booth: Is she coming on to me ?
- Special Agent Seeley Booth: No. It's just the way she talks.
- Angela Montenegro: Jared is Booth lite. Booth is the real Booth.
- Dr. Temperance Brennan: What if Booth is Booth lite.
- Jared Booth: Maybe that's what made him a good sniper. He doesn't like to be visible above the ridgeline. So he keeps his head low. Instinct. Me, on the other hand, I cannot help but run that ridge.
- Dr. Temperance Brennan: Can you give me an example?
- [Jared leans in and kisses Bones]
- Jared Booth: I bet you Seely never took that risk.
- Dr. Temperance Brennan: Nope.
