- Special Agent Seeley Booth: [to Bones and Sweets] Okay. Listen. Psychology and anthropology. I liked it better when you two were fighting!
- Angela Montenegro: [Sickened by the sight of the female remains in the lab] Okay. Just... *please* tell me that this poor thing was dead before any of... this... happened.
- Dr. Camille Saroyan: I'm sure she was.
- Dr. Jack Hodgins: Definitely.
- Angela Montenegro: Great.
- [Leaves for her office]
- Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan: [to Fisher] Hodgins and Cam are lying to Angela to spare her feelings.
- Colin Fisher: [mock whisper] Yeah, I got that.
- Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan: Because we have not in any way ascertained if the victim was dead or alive when she was flayed to the bone.
- Dr. Camille Saroyan: We have ascertained, actually, acute liver hemorrhaging suggests that the victim was still alive when she was eviscerated. So, I out and out lied to Angela.
- Dr. Jack Hodgins: [sincerely] Thank you for that.
- Angela Montenegro: Okay. So, this program will search for wrinkles, freckles, other microscopic facial features on each piece, pick up the pattern and pair it with the corresponding piece.
- Dr. Jack Hodgins: Very Frankenstein-y.
- Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan: [discussing an artisanal neighborhood with which Booth is not impressed] Creating handcrafted, handmade products provides artisans with the authenticity they feel is lacking in today's technology driven, industrialized world.
- Special Agent Seeley Booth: Great. Okay. Eat your pickle. We're here.
- Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan: These are very good. You should have eaten yours.
- Special Agent Seeley Booth: That's nice.
- [under his breath]
- Special Agent Seeley Booth: I don't want a pickle.
- Special Agent Seeley Booth: Whoa, whoa, excuse me.
- [He grabs a pair of shorts that Sweets was starting to fold]
- Special Agent Seeley Booth: Those are my underwear, *pal*!
- [to Bones]
- Special Agent Seeley Booth: What is he doing?
- Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan: Sweets has been very helpful. He vacuumed. Did the laundry.
- Special Agent Seeley Booth: Alright, that's great, and all. But, a man doesn't fold another man's *under*wear!
- Dr. Lance Sweets: Are those Captain America boxers?
- Colin Fisher: [Cam has asked why Fisher is at the lab so late] I am examining the victim's remains.
- Dr. Camille Saroyan: By the light of a lantern?
- Colin Fisher: The lantern provides oblique lighting which bounces off an angled reflector and back onto the bone which happens to be awesome for spotting scratches and microcuts on bone.
- Dr. Camille Saroyan: But, mostly it's because it appeals to your sense of the macabre.
- Colin Fisher: [sigh] It does make me look insane, doesn't it?
- [looks at her with a smile]
- Dr. Camille Saroyan: Yes.
- Colin Fisher: [satisfied] Yeah...
- Dr. Lance Sweets: Don't you think that as a man, I should be on my own, I mean...
- Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan: Most cultures have ceremonies to celebrate milestones in a man's life.
- [She takes Sweets' arm and pulls him into the room]
- Dr. Lance Sweets: [a stricken look on his face] Oh God, this isn't about circumcision, is it?
- Special Agent Seeley Booth: Noooo, it's about dancing.
- Dr. Lance Sweets: [Relieved, briefly] What?
- Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan: There are three important elements in moving on past an old relationship. Admission.
- Dr. Lance Sweets: I admit it's over with Daisy.
- Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan: Cleansing.
- Special Agent Seeley Booth: Right. You were in our jet tub.
- Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan: [raising her hands in the air] And celebration!
- Dr. Lance Sweets: So, I can't get my own apartment until I celebrate being alone?
- Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan: That's right.
- Special Agent Seeley Booth: Anthropology's all about dancing.
- [Bones uses a remote to turn on some music. "20th Century Boy" by T-Rex, mentioned by Sweets earlier in the episode, is playing. Then she starts dancing]
- Dr. Lance Sweets: [to Booth] You gettin' in on this?
- Special Agent Seeley Booth: [shakes his head] No. Why? It's your ceremony.
- [Sees Bones dancing]
- Special Agent Seeley Booth: Bones, what are you doin'?
- Dr. Lance Sweets: Are you okay?
- Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan: [Dancing around Sweets who starts to join her, slowly at first] Celebrate. You're free!
- Dr. Lance Sweets: I *am* free. I *am* free!
- Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan: And someone out there who doesn't know yet will be getting the great gift that is you.
- Special Agent Seeley Booth: Lucky, lucky them.
- Dr. Lance Sweets: Yeah.
- [Dancing with more enthusiasm now]
- Dr. Lance Sweets: They *are* lucky! Okay! Uhhh!
- Special Agent Seeley Booth: [laughing] Elevator down.
- Dr. Lance Sweets: [Mimics going down in an elevator] I feel so at home right now.
- [Booth takes a gulp of scotch]
- Dr. Jack Hodgins: [after checking inside a large bag he found inside a dumpster] Yeah. Gutsy stuff.
- [Hands the bag to Cam. She takes the bag, but the bottom splits and the contents fall onto the ground]
- Special Agent Seeley Booth: Whoa! There's a leak. No guts, no glory.
