Quotes 

• Seeley Booth : There's a new sheriff in town, and his name is Special Agent Seeley Booth. And you're under arrest for the murder of Stanley Belridge.

  Temperance Brennan : And I'm not Wanda. I'm Dr. Temperance Brennan. I'm also the mother of his children.

• Angela Montenegro : So, what is this I'm hearing about Booth going undercover without you?

  Temperance Brennan : I'll admit, I find it a bit strange. But then again, I find a lot of Booth's behavior strange these days.

  Angela Montenegro : Meaning what?

  Temperance Brennan : Well, first he wanted a Jet Ski. Now he's looking at motorcycles. He's only recently recovered from being shot, and he wants to... put his life in danger for... I don't know what.

  Angela Montenegro : Yeah, I think I do. Excitement.

  Temperance Brennan : Basically, what you're saying is... our life together has become routine, and... Booth needs to have some fun.

  Angela Montenegro : I'm saying that both of you need to have some fun.

• Seeley Booth : What's... Uh, hey, I saw you at the barbecue earlier with Glen. I mean... I'm sorry, but what are you trying to do - you trying to make me jealous or something?

  Temperance Brennan : No, I'm just... I'm behaving in a non-routine manner.

  Seeley Booth : Yeah, but why?

  Temperance Brennan : Because. Hello. I'm a wild card. I'm full of fun and surprises. I'm Wild Card Wanda, baby.

• Temperance Brennan : Booth. I feel so foolish.

  Seeley Booth : Why do you feel so foolish?

  Temperance Brennan : All of this, all of it! It's so irrational. I mean, how could I think that flirting with another man and besting you at a game of skill would have a positive effect on our relationship?

  Seeley Booth : Wait a second. First of all, if you think I'm worried about you running off with some doughy guy who's dressed in some U.S. Marshal's outfit that's way too tight, you're wrong. Secondly, besting me? I'm a trained sniper. I could win this competition blindfolded. The only reason I'm not doing it is 'cause I don't want to raise any eyebrows

• Temperance Brennan : Booth, do you still think that our life together is routine?

  Seeley Booth : Come on. Why would you think that? I would never think that.

  Temperance Brennan : Why else do you want a motorcycle?

  Seeley Booth : Why do birds fly, Bones? Because it's cool.

  Temperance Brennan : That's not why birds fly.

  Seeley Booth : Come here, you.
