- Special Agent Seeley Booth: We're dealing with someone here who devalues an entire culture; terrorizing people by using God to justify mass murder.
- Dr. Temperance Brennan: You're making it personal. That doesn't help.
- Special Agent Seeley Booth: It is personal, Bones. All of us die a little bit on one like this.
- Angela Montenegro: [about Brennan] She has enough pent-up sexual energy to power a small Midwestern city.
- Zack Addy: [of the beetles] You can't kill them. They have names.
- Dr. Temperance Brennan: We have to, Zack.
- [grabs a handful and puts them in another jar]
- Dr. Temperance Brennan: Some.
- Dr. Jack Hodgins: In Thailand, they sautee them in peanut oil.
- Dr. Temperance Brennan: We'll find out who killed him, Booth. We've got Hamid's body. You can always count on the dead.
- Dr. Jack Hodgins: [of Bones] I graduated top of my class, Rhodes scholar, the youngest member inducted into the Academy of Physical Sciences, but she still makes me feel like a cretin.
- Zack Addy: She apologized to me.
- Dr. Temperance Brennan: I was just studying a cranial fissure on a corporate attorney last week. Of course, he was dead.
- Special Agent Seeley Booth: All right. Listen, Bones, we're heading into a very unknown situation. I think it's best that you just stay in the car.
- [Bones glares at him]
- Special Agent Seeley Booth: Okay, then, you know, if you have to come in with me, you stay *behind* me.
- [Bones glares at him]
- Special Agent Seeley Booth: Fine. Just be careful, all right?
- Dr. Jack Hodgins: [after ranting about the FBI] Someone here's really defensive about the FBI lately. You realize Booth is just another government stooge.
- Dr. Temperance Brennan: This has nothing to do with Booth.
- Special Agent Seeley Booth: [Booth arrives and clears his throat] I don't enjoy having squints on my team any more than you like me on yours. But you know, we're *supposed* to be working together, okay?
- Dr. Jack Hodgins: [Angela tells them she talked to Booth's girlfriend] She's *spying* for you?
- Dr. Temperance Brennan: No. No!
- Zack Addy: If you have nothing in common, it's difficult to sublimate intense sexual attraction.
- [Bones glares at Zack]
- Zack Addy: And we hear it's been a while.
- Dr. Temperance Brennan: Okay, stop.
- Angela Montenegro: He is *there* for the taking, honey.
- Special Agent Seeley Booth: [Booth arrives] Okay I couldn't get his medical records.
- [everyone stops and looks at Booth]
- Special Agent Seeley Booth: What?
- Dr. Temperance Brennan: Nothing.
- Special Agent Seeley Booth: Trying to track down the doctor?
- Dr. Temperance Brennan: Don't need him. It's definitely a toxin, but we can't determine what kind.
- Zack Addy: Too bad the liver is cooked. That could tell us everything.
- Special Agent Seeley Booth: You know, I need subtitles walking in here.
- Special Agent Seeley Booth: Why aren't we talking about you and your boyfriend?
- Dr. Temperance Brennan: I don't have a boyfriend.
- Special Agent Seeley Booth: You just said that as though it's a good thing. And you know what? It's a very, *very* sad comment on your personal life.
- Dr. Temperance Brennan: Look, you're angry again.
- Dr. Temperance Brennan: [as they're approaching Ladjavardi] I thought you were told to stay away from him?
- Special Agent Seeley Booth: Yeah, and as an FBI agent, I cannot disobey my superior. But you're *not* an FBI agent.
- Ali Ladjavardi: I'm calling Santana.
- [turns around and walks away]
- Dr. Temperance Brennan: Yeah, I don't -
- [get in front of Ladjavardi]
- Dr. Temperance Brennan: I don't think so.
- Ali Ladjavardi: I'm warning you.
- Special Agent Seeley Booth: I wouldn't threaten her if I were you.
- Dr. Temperance Brennan: Look I just want to know where you were in June to see if you poisoned Hamid, and Farid.
- Special Agent Seeley Booth: Subtle.
- Ali Ladjavardi: I'm leaving now!
- [tries to push pass Bones. She grabs his arm and flips him. Bones puts her foot on his throat]
- Special Agent Seeley Booth: Told you. She doesn't like to be touched.
- Dr. Temperance Brennan: We're going to have to run a simulation. I need you to input the skull and give me a face.
- Angela Montenegro: You got it.
- Dr. Temperance Brennan: [quietly] And no more talk about Booth. You shouldn't have gotten involved.
- Angela Montenegro: That's what friends are for.
- Dr. Temperance Brennan: Please, Angela.
- Special Agent Seeley Booth: You know, I told them to tell the Press it was an undercover operation.
- Dr. Temperance Brennan: But it would be a Rose Garden Ceremony.... That's an honor, right?... I thought you FBI guys liked your medals.
- Special Agent Seeley Booth: No pleasure in taking someone's life.
- [finishes his drink]
- Special Agent Seeley Booth: Nothing to celebrate.
- Dr. Temperance Brennan: [discussing a corpse that was blown up in an SUV] I need surgical gloves and masks for the retrieval team, sterile medical bags and vegetable oil.
- Special Agent Seeley Booth: Vegetable oil?
- Dr. Temperance Brennan: The oil will loosen the seared body parts stuck to the metal. It's no different than steak on a grill that sticks.
- Angela Montenegro: Look I... I know that you needed help out there... at the crime scene. And I wanted to... but...
- Dr. Temperance Brennan: It's okay. You see it. I don't any more. I don't know what's worse.
- Angela Montenegro: [of Booth] I think he likes you. God, if I were you, I'd buy a ticket on that ride.
- Dr. Temperance Brennan: I'd like to get this data to Booth as soon as I can.
- DHS Agent Bennett Gibson: [blocks her path and tries to reach for her notes] I'll take it.
- Dr. Temperance Brennan: No. I don't think so. I work with *Booth*. That's my deal.
- DHS Agent Bennett Gibson: Dr. Brennan, I have jurisdiction.
- Dr. Temperance Brennan: Then why don't I destroy my notes, and let you guarantee the identity of the remains?
- [walks past Gibson. Angela walks up to Gibson]
- Angela Montenegro: It's best to just ride it out. Like an earthquake.
- Special Agent Seeley Booth: She dyed her hair. She lost weight. You know? She shove a little Botox in the forehead. She's still feeling guilty over the last fight she had with her husband!
- Dr. Temperance Brennan: Oh, you are an insufferable arrogant... MAN!
- Special Agent Seeley Booth: Oh, so only a woman could know a woman? I thought women wanted us to understand them.
- Angela Montenegro: [moving closer to them] Not really a magician never *wants* to reveal her tricks.
- Special Agent Seeley Booth: [turns to Angela] We're having a *private* conversation.
- Angela Montenegro: I'm not here.
