Sweets: Talk to me.
Caroline: That is no way for an adult holding a PhD in psychology to answer the telephone.
Sweets: (playing a piano) Ms. Julian? I'm on sabbatical.
Caroline: Doing what, installing elevators? Because I can hear the music.

Brennan: (about Hannah) Is it serious between you?
Booth: Serious as a heart attack.
Brennan: Heart attacks are very serious.
Booth: Yes, they are. Very serious.

Brennan: What happened? You're no longer in the Jeffersonian, all my interns—gone.
Cam: What happened is you put your own desires ahead of everything else when you left.
Brennan: Are you angry with me?
Cam: Yes, I am angry, Dr. Brennan. We had a great thing going. You just … you let it fall apart.

Wendell: If you don't mind me asking, Dr. B, why do you keep staring at the X-ray?
Brennan: Because I'm suffering the nagging certainty that my eyes are seeing something which my brain refuses to process.

Brennan: Booth fell in love in Afghanistan.
Angela: Oh. Oh, sweetie, I'm so sorry.
Brennan: Why? Are you in love with Booth?

Oh, whoa! Okay! Maggot! Right on the leg. Right there. Can I squash him, or does Hodgins have to interrogate him?

Booth

Brennan: One thing, Hannah. I want you to be sure about this.
Hannah: The phone?
Brennan: No, although I understand the misunderstanding. No, about you and Booth moving in together. Booth will give himself to you completely … and it would be very painful for him if you aren't as serious about the relationship as he is.
Hannah: I am. But thanks, though. You're a good friend, Temperance. Seeley is very lucky.

We see big stars, tiny atoms too, because that is what scientists do. We get the facts and say what's true, because that is what scientists do. In darkest day in blackest night, no science shall escape my sight!

Brennan

You're implying that you showed your appreciation sexually.

Brennan

Brennan: So I'm the only one living the life I expected.
Angela: Well how's that, honey?
Brennan: It's um, it's as I expected.

Booth, in a week you're going to a war zone. Please, don't be a hero. Please, just don't be you.

Brennan

Cam: Are you really leaving the Jeffersonian?
Brennan: Yes, for a year. I can provide you with a list of forensic anthropologists who can do this job.
Cam: No, Dr. Brennan, you can provide me with a list of forensic anthropologists.
Brennan: I don't know what that means.

Bones Quotes

Wendell Bray: (running up with a bone in his hands) Dead guy's hyoid.
Bones: Guy as in sexually non-specific urban colloquialism or in the reference to the gender normally associated with a penis, Mr. Bray?
Wendell Bray: Um ... penis?

Booth: You don't think that I'm a lousy dad for not sending my son to private school?
Sweets: No. But you'd be a lousy father if you didn't torture yourself about it.
