Quotes 

• Arastoo Vaziri : This was not the work of religion, it was arrogance, it was hypocrisy, it was hate. Those horrible men who hijacked those planes hijacked my religion that day too. They insulted my God. So no, this isn't too difficult. It's a privilege to be able to serve this victim, to be able to show him care and love that was so absent that day.

• Colin Fisher : 9/11 was a trauma to us all - not like this guy or the people who died that day. But it still changed us, right? A-and we act like it doesn't matter. Clearly Wendell is freaking out. And you

  [to Arastoo] 

  Colin Fisher : You went nuts earlier. The first rule at the looney bin is to get it all out in the open. So that's what we're going to do, all right? I'll go... I was in High School. It was my Senior Year. I was

  [chuckls] 

  Colin Fisher : breaking into my history teacher's desk to steal a test I hadn't studied for, and he walked in. He was crying. He couldn't care less what I was doing. That's when I found out. So I... I talked to him. I had stolen test in my hand, and we both sat... and we cried... Next?... Oh, come on!

  Dr. Clark Edison : ...I was working. It was uh, before school - coffee shop. Everyone was just staring at the TV. No one said a word. The cook came out to watch with the rest of us. I still remember the smell of food burning on that grill.

  Finn Abernathy : I was 9. I got in the way of my stepfather hitting my mama. He stuck me with some scissors. My mama wanted to take me to the hosital. But my hurt didn't seem like nothin' when we heard what happened.

  Arastoo Vaziri : I was at morning prayers... I didn't believe that day. I didn't believe in anything.

  Colin Fisher : ...Wendell?

  Wendell Bray : ...I was uh, with my aunt... from that morning for the next few days... My uncle was a firefighter at New York... He never came home.

• Colin Fisher : The soft callus hasn't consolidated yet. I'd put this break 10 days before he died.

  [Squinterns turn expectantly to Vaziri] 

  Arastoo Vaziri : ...Dr. Saroyan and Dr. Hodgins fixed time of death on September 21.

  Colin Fisher : That means this injury occured September 11, 2001.

  Arastoo Vaziri : Yeah.

  Dr. Clark Edison : My God.

  Wendell Bray : 9/11.

  Finn Abernathy : Given the presence of jet fuel and his injuries, this man could've been at the Pentagon when the plane hit.

  Dr. Clark Edison : Yeah. But every victim in that attack has been accounted for and identified.

  Arastoo Vaziri : Maybe not. Maybe just the victims that had a home.

• Finn Abernathy : Now the bones are clean and we have no trace evidence to examine.

  Colin Fisher : Oh God! Yes, we do.

  Dr. Clark Edison : We do? 'Cause I don't think we do.

  Colin Fisher : Not if we focus on the bones. We're fools.

  Arastoo Vaziri : Excuse me?

  Colin Fisher : We've been focusing on the bones. That's the problem.

  Finn Abernathy : But we're Forensic Anthropologists. That's why Dr. Brennan planted us here.

  Colin Fisher : No, she planted us here to get answers.

• Arastoo Vaziri : You're right Fisher, I am a fool.

  Colin Fisher : *We* are. I said "we." There's strength in numbers.

  Arastoo Vaziri : The five of us are fools to trust the coroner's report.

• Arastoo Vaziri : This rib fracture, Fisher, the remodeling seems to indicate it was fractured more than four days before he died, doesn't it?

  Colin Fisher : Definitely.

  Dr. Clark Edison : [to Arastoo]  Wait... Are you thinking what I think you're thinking?
