State Police Instructor:
[
Looking at a body that's just landed on a car] We're gonna need a... um, uh, a fire extinguisher... then... maybe some sort of...
[
shakily]
State Police Instructor:
trauma counselor.
Special Agent Seeley Booth:
Nice hat, huh. Come on, I'll take you back to the lab.
Dr. Temperance Brennan:
What happened with your RECO bust?
Special Agent Seeley Booth:
[
Looks at her] Nothing. Why?
[
laughs shortly]
Special Agent Seeley Booth:
Have you been talking to Cam?
Dr. Temperance Brennan:
No. Did you do something wrong?
Special Agent Seeley Booth:
[
Defensively] "What do you mean?
Dr. Temperance Brennan:
Well you didn't get the credit you deserved. What did you do?
Special Agent Seeley Booth:
Life is not always about credit.
Dr. Temperance Brennan:
Well, that's not what you said before. You said life was all about credit and that you were going to Hawaii and they were going to put you on a coin...
Special Agent Seeley Booth:
Alright, let's just forget about, ok Bones? Forget about it.
[
Walks away]
Dr. Temperance Brennan:
Jared warned me that you tend to sabotage yourself.
Special Agent Seeley Booth:
[
Sarcastically] *Jared* said that?
Dr. Temperance Brennan:
Mm-hmm. He said that you're afraid of success.
Special Agent Seeley Booth:
[
Angry] Hm. So basically, I'm a loser.
Dr. Temperance Brennan:
No, he never said the word loser.
Special Agent Seeley Booth:
[
Walks up to her] Do you think I'm a loser? Like that guy in there? Some clown in some dumbass uniform who basically can't do anything better? Is *that* what you think?
Dr. Temperance Brennan:
Well, anthropologically, males tend to rank themselves into a hierarchy. There is no shame in not being at the top of the hierarchy.
Special Agent Seeley Booth:
[
Furious] You're not answering the question, Bones. Answer *my* question.
[
They stare at each other. Phone rings after a tense silence. He doesn't take his eyes off her and picks up his phone]
Special Agent Seeley Booth:
Booth.
Dr. Jack Hodgins:
You said you didn't want to work with us anymore.
Dr. Clark Edison:
No. I said my preferred work style tends towards the professional. See my tie? That's an indicator.
Angela Montenegro:
Mmhmm. So why'd you come back then?
Dr. Clark Edison:
Because this is the finest forensic facility in the world.
Dr. Jack Hodgins:
You want to fight MIGs you fly MIG alley, right?
Dr. Temperance Brennan:
[
after Angela meets Jared Booth] Are you thinking of leaving lesbianism behind?
Angela Montenegro:
I prefer not to be labelled, okay?
Jared Booth:
So who else have you got for me Seely?
Special Agent Seeley Booth:
What am I? Your pimp?
Jared Booth:
Don't think I'm not appreciative.
Dr. Temperance Brennan:
Well Cam's got everything under control, so I can go.
Special Agent Seeley Booth:
What?
Jared Booth:
Really?
Special Agent Seeley Booth:
Huh?
Jared Booth:
Why, thank you.
Special Agent Seeley Booth:
[
to Bones] No.
Jared Booth:
Wha - uh - wait, this is Bones, right? Not some ugly FBI woman with a mustache.
Dr. Temperance Brennan:
I don't have a mustache, Jared.
Jared Booth:
Maybe that's what made him a good sniper. He doesn't like to be visible above the ridgeline. So he keeps his head low. Instinct. Me, on the other hand, I cannot help but run that ridge.
Dr. Temperance Brennan:
Can you give me an example?
[
Jared leans in and kisses Bones]
Jared Booth:
I bet you Seely never took that risk.
Dr. Temperance Brennan:
Nope.
Dr. Camille Saroyan:
Can I offer you a little insight into Booth's little brother?
Dr. Clark Edison:
Oh God, why am I always standing in precisely the wrong place?
[
Clark starts to leave]
Dr. Temperance Brennan:
I didn't have sex with him, Cam.
Angela Montenegro:
[
Angela enters] Didn't have sex with who?
Dr. Camille Saroyan:
Jared Booth.
Angela Montenegro:
Good.
Dr. Temperance Brennan:
Good? Why good?
Dr. Camille Saroyan:
Because... because...
Angela Montenegro:
Because he's Booth's little brother. And it would just be a creepy way to have sex with a Booth without having sex with the *real* Booth.
Dr. Camille Saroyan:
Kudos Angela. I would not have had the guts to say that out loud.
Angela Montenegro:
Jared is Booth lite. Booth is the real Booth.
Dr. Temperance Brennan:
Waht if Booth is Booth lite.
Special Agent Seeley Booth:
Do you think I'm a loser? Like that guy in there, some clown in some dumbass uniform who basically can't do any better. Is that what you think?
Dr. Temperance Brennan:
Well anthropologically, males tend to rank themselves into a hierarchy. There's no shame in not being at the top of the hierarchy.
Special Agent Seeley Booth:
You're not answering the question Bones. Answer my question!
Dr. Temperance Brennan:
[
to Jared] You took advantage of him. You know, you made me think that he's a loser! And what *really* makes me angry, is that I believed you! You know, I wouldn't blame Booth if he never spoke to me again. You're the loser!
