Quotes 

• Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan : Zack, place some garlic around the remains and chant the Hmong ritual for the preservation of souls.

  Zack Addy : Really?

  Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan : This is going to be a long case.

• [Booth has arrested Will, he joins Brennan in her office] 

  Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan : I sure know how to pick 'em, don't I?

  Special Agent Seeley Booth : Well, you know, our perceptions are always colored by what we hope, what we fear, what we love. We do the best we can.

  Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan : I'm afraid my best isn't good enough. I can read bones, not people.

  Special Agent Seeley Booth : Oh, you know, you had no trouble seeing through me.

  [smiles at her and she smiles back] 

  Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan : It's a good thing I like being alone.

  Special Agent Seeley Booth : You know what, Bones? You're not alone. Okay?

  [Brennan has turned her back to Booth, he touches her on the shoulder to turn her around, she hesitates, then turns to him] 

  Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan : Booth...

  Special Agent Seeley Booth : You're my partner, ok? It's a guy hug. Take it.

  [they embrace tightly, Booth smiles thoughtfully and Brennan looks relieved, happy and safe] 

• Special Agent Seeley Booth : Any cause of death?

  Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan : Well, since I can't find the skull, I'd say his head was cut off.

• Special Agent Seeley Booth : But you're looking at me like I'm in trouble and you're a teacher.

  Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan : You've been really touchy lately.

  Special Agent Seeley Booth : Look Bones, I don't know why I didn't tell you about Cam.

  Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan : Did I mention Cam?

  Special Agent Seeley Booth : I just didn't want it to get weird, I guess.

  Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan : Weird?

  Special Agent Seeley Booth : We're partners, you know? Together all the time, right? You're a woman and I'm a man and I never had a relationship like this where we were... like two guys, except you're not, you know, a guy.

  Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan : No. No, I'm not. Should I feel odd about wanting to hang out with Will?

  Special Agent Seeley Booth : No, of course not, you know? Because essentially, I mean, you're a guy like me, but not really.

  Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan : That would mean that to me, you are essentially a woman. Yeah. I can see that.

  Special Agent Seeley Booth : No, no, no, no. I prefer not to be a woman if you don't mind.

• Special Agent Seeley Booth : So what would happen if a very jealous Lori found out...

  Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan : I don't know. That's more your territory.

  Special Agent Seeley Booth : What? About cheating?

  Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan : I just meant that you use psychology. You're very touchy. Perhaps because of all your skulking around?

  Special Agent Seeley Booth : I am discreet. Okay? It's different. A gentleman is discreet. Okay?
