- Special Agent Seeley Booth: You know, I won't say anything about the scream, if you don't say anything about the gun.
- Dr. Temperance Brennan: Those terms are satisfactory.
- Special Agent Seeley Booth: Right.
- Special Agent Seeley Booth: Maybe aliens are... anthropologists. Maybe they just want to study our religion and sex, and love and our funny languages, and line dancing.
- Dr. Temperance Brennan: That's an interesting possibility I hadn't considered.
- Wendell Bray: Dr. Brennan dealing with flesh.
- Dr. Jack Hodgins: Like a cat dealing with water.
- Dr. Temperance Brennan: Flesh is not my strength.
- Delmy Polanco: If I give it to you, will you drop the trespassing charges and let me go?
- Sheriff Jerry Bonds: If you don't hand it over, I'll just charge you with obstructing justice,
- [indicates Booth]
- Sheriff Jerry Bonds: He'll charge you with interferring with a Federal Investigation, and maybe even murder. And you will pray for the good old days where all you were worrying about was silly little trespassing and burgulary charges.
- Dr. Temperance Brennan: I find he's very... useful in certain situations.
- Special Agent Seeley Booth: Very usefu.
- [to Delmy]
- Special Agent Seeley Booth: So hand 'em over.
- Special Agent Seeley Booth: You're going to be okay here, all alone in this spooky hospital with a... dead alien body?
- Dr. Temperance Brennan: Yes.
- Special Agent Seeley Booth: Right. That would be me who wouldn't want that.
- Angela Montenegro: [Watching a video] My God, is that what I think it is? And are those...?
- Dr. Camille Saroyan: No. Impossible. This was doctored.
- Angela Montenegro: No. It isn't. This was verified by the scanning software at a pixel level.
- Dr. Camille Saroyan: ...Are you saying our victim might've stumbled on a real UFO?
- Dr. Jack Hodgins: [after his experiment determines the type of weapon used] That was fun!
- Angela Montenegro: Boys.
- Dr. Camille Saroyan: You got that right.
- Dr. Lance Sweets: [On the laptop] Sometimes, I think you just pull me into these interrogations to show off.
- [Booth starts to close the laptop]
- Dr. Lance Sweets: Wait Booth I...
- Dr. Lance Sweets: Do you want Angela back?... I don't think you're jealous. I think that you're grieving what you've lost.
- Dr. Jack Hodgins: Grieving? As in grief?
- Dr. Lance Sweets: Yes.
- Dr. Jack Hodgins: The only thing that cures grief is time. Unless you're recommending a lot of alcohol.
- Dr. Lance Sweets: I can't really recommend alcohol.
- Dr. Jack Hodgins: Man, it'd be great if you could though. Right?
- [Hodgins laughs]
- Sheriff Jerry Bonds: Nuh uh, FBI's got jurisdiction only if I *agree*. Otherwise you need jump through several legal hoops which will take some time during which time the victim stays in the meantime.
- Dr. Temperance Brennan: Then why did you call us?
- Sheriff Jerry Bonds: I could use the help. But I'm not gonna take the heat when people scream I sent an alien off to Washington for secret testing.
- [Chuckles]
- Sheriff Jerry Bonds: I've been through that before.
- Dr. Jack Hodgins: I'm a better man than this...
- [Groans]
- Dr. Jack Hodgins: I want to be happy for them, you know. I really do.
- Dr. Lance Sweets: Well, it's easier for us to accept loneliness, as long as the person we were once with is also alone.
- Dr. Jack Hodgins: [Hodgins laughs after a wepon blows the head off a melon with Wendel's picture] That was *way* too much damage. That blew your head clear off.
- Dr. Camille Saroyan: I don't know if anyone should enjoy their work this much.
- Wendell Bray: [Shaking a melon with Angela's picture] Angela, the balls are rattling, but your head's still intact.
- Angela Montenegro: Call that thing by my name one more time, I dare you.
- Special Agent Seeley Booth: You just basically said that aliens are nice anthropologists.
- Dr. Temperance Brennan: [Chuckles] I don't think so.
- Special Agent Seeley Booth: You think aliens are you.
- Dr. Temperance Brennan: [laughs] You got me. You know, I - I'm one of them.
- Special Agent Seeley Booth: I knew it!
- Dr. Temperance Brennan: I was sent down as an advanced scout.
- Special Agent Seeley Booth: Ha! I knew it. No probing. No probing!
- Dr. Temperance Brennan: Hey, probing is a valuable way of gathering information.
- Blaine Miller: Hey. Hey! I got rights.
- Sheriff Jerry Bonds: You got the right to shut the Hell up Blaine!
