- Park Ranger: Is she serious about the mud?
- Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan: Serious as a gas attack.
- Special Agent Seeley Booth: Heart attack, Bones. Serious as a heart attack.
- Dr. Jack Hodgins: Can you estimate the amount of force?
- Dr. Zack Addy: In the back of the head, length undetermined. A width of 3.8 centimeters; approximately a thousand pounds of force.
- Angela Montenegro: So a lot.
- Dr. Jack Hodgins: [like it is no big deal] Half a ton.
- Angela Montenegro: Which is a lot.
- Dr. Zack Addy: That actually isn't very much.
- Angela Montenegro: All right; now I'm back in a physics class I want to ditch.
- Lance Sweets: [trying to convince Booth and Bones to interact in a purely social situation] Okay, if it goes well, I'll withdrawal my concern. I'll release you back into your environment.
- Special Agent Seeley Booth: What are we, brook trout?
- Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan: We're not sure about time of death yet.
- Special Agent Seeley Booth: It was definitely a murder.
- Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan: Definitely. Probably by two assailants.
- Special Agent Seeley Booth: What a shock for that couple, huh? I mean, they slide naked into the hot mud bath and a skeletal hand pokes her in the, you know.
- Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan: Anus.
- Special Agent Seeley Booth: Bones!
- Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan: What? It's a clinical term for that part of the body, Booth.
- Lance Sweets: Dr. Brennan, Agent Booth, would it be fair to say that you use work to avoid confronting personal issues?
- Special Agent Seeley Booth: Oh, why, because I don't want to talk about
- [mumbles under his breath]
- Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan: The anus.
- Special Agent Seeley Booth: You really like that word, don't you?
- Lance Sweets: Do you two ever discuss anything that's not attached to work?
- Special Agent Seeley Booth: Well, it's better than talking about
- [mumbles under his breath]
- Lance Sweets: The anus?
- Special Agent Seeley Booth: What is it with you two?
- Special Agent Seeley Booth: Hey! Check this drain for blood.
- Dr. Jack Hodgins: [On Booth's cell phone] Blood suspended in toluene might be testable for DNA.
- Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan: Tell Hodgins he did a good job.
- Special Agent Seeley Booth: I'll tell Hodgins he did a good job if-
- [He sees that a light shining on the drain reveals blood]
- Dr. Jack Hodgins: I'm waiting...
- Dr. Camille Saroyan: The blow to the front of the head was from a sharp tool.
- Dr. Zack Addy: Sharper than round, but blunter than sharp.
- Angela Montenegro: What?
- Dr. Camille Saroyan: That actually made sense to me.
- Angela Montenegro: You two have been spending way too much time together.
- Dr. Camille Saroyan: [to Zack and Hodgins] So. We haven't eliminated anyone from our list of suspects. Plus, we don't know what that's a cross-section of, and we don't know what caused the damage to the front of the face. What, exactly, made you two come in here crowing "King of the Lab"?
- [Hodgins and Zack look at each other sheepishly, then Hodgins points at Zack]
- Dr. Jack Hodgins: I'm gonna go back and look at very small things under my very large microscope.
