- Dr. Lance Sweets: [Sitting together at a restaurant over dinner helping Angela work out her feelings and how she should go about her pursuing a her relationship with Roxie] It's exactly the same situation as the last time you were sitting here. Except, you know, you're quieter.
- Angela Montenegro: No, that was about Hodgins. This is about Roxie.
- Dr. Lance Sweets: [Loudly] You want to have sex with Roxie!
- Angela Montenegro: What was that about quieter?
- Dr. Lance Sweets: I'm sorry, I'm not certain you're being guided by your brain, that's all. Need can be confused with love. Fantasy can convince us that what we are feeling is love.
- Angela Montenegro: So, you're saying is that this is all rebound?
- Dr. Lance Sweets: Yeah.
- Angela Montenegro: No, you don't understand love, Sweets.
- Dr. Lance Sweets: I'm not as innocent as you might think.
- Angela Montenegro: You have this bourgeois notion...
- Dr. Lance Sweets: Bourgeois?
- Angela Montenegro: ...that in order for love to be real it has to be permanent. Nothing is permanent. That's just a fact. We move in and out of loving other people, but that doesn't make the love any less real.
- Dr. Lance Sweets: Mm-hmm, perhaps you're saying this because you haven't met the love of your life.
- Angela Montenegro: I have actually. Many times.
- Dr. Lance Sweets: Fine. It seems to me that you always leave yourself an escape hatch in your relationships, because you afraid of commitment.
- Angela Montenegro: Nice try. But no. Actually, I commit to every person I love.
- Dr. Lance Sweets: You marry a man and then conveniently forget that you married him because you got zonked on Kava Kava. That compromises your relationship with Hodgins so that ends, along with the marriage. Now you say you have these intense feelings for an ex-lover whose heart you've already broken. Don't you see the potential disaster here?
- Angela Montenegro: Look, you said that, without the possibility of pain, there can be no joy, no real love.
- Dr. Lance Sweets: I said that? That's beautiful.
- Angela Montenegro: Look... I don't want to hurt Roxie again.
- Dr. Lance Sweets: Then Don't. Don't. Put her welfare first. Let Roxie decide if she's ready to pursue this relationship.
- Angela Montenegro: Okay. And what if she doesn't?
- Dr. Lance Sweets: Then I'm afraid you'll have to live with that pain.
- Special Agent Seeley Booth: What's going on?
- Dr. Jack Hodgins: Sweets is firing Daisy for us.
- Dr. Camille Saroyan: We're wondering what his method will be.
- Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan: He'll explain to her logically that this environment is not conducive for either her or us and, as a scientist, she'll realize that he's right.
- Special Agent Seeley Booth: No, Sweets is a lot sneakier than that. He'll use some kind of psychological Jedi mind trick to make her think it was her idea to quit.
- Dr. Lance Sweets: I've got some good news and some bad news. Which would you like first?
- Daisy Wick: The bad first.
- Dr. Lance Sweets: You're toast here. Nobody wants to work with you.
- Daisy Wick: Why?
- Dr. Lance Sweets: You know why, Daisy. There are some things that you have to work on when it comes to interpersonal relations.
- Daisy Wick: Does anybody like me?
- Dr. Lance Sweets: No, I'm afraid not.
- Daisy Wick: What's the good news?
- Dr. Lance Sweets: There's absolutely no reason for us to be discreet about our relationship anymore.
- Angela Montenegro: Yes. Roxy is gay. At least she was when we were together.
- Special Agent Seeley Booth: In school?
- Angela Montenegro: Yes.
- Special Agent Seeley Booth: Oh, you heard rumors.
- Angela Montenegro: No, I have firsthand knowledge.
- Special Agent Seeley Booth: Oh, you walked in on her. That's awkward.
- Angela Montenegro: No. We were together. For over a year.
- Special Agent Seeley Booth: Wow! You and, uh, Roxy?
- Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan: You have a problem with that?
- Special Agent Seeley Booth: No. I was just processing the information there. That's all. And, in doing so, I was... envisioning you and her, you know, together and, uh... Well not both together... but... Really?
- Dr. Camille Saroyan: [after Dr. Sweets tells Daisy that she is fired, they decide to come out with their relationship and begin making out on the forensic platform] That's a method of termination I've never tried. But bravo, Dr. Sweets.
- Special Agent Seeley Booth: Whoa. They'll never work. They're like complete opposites.
- Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan: I agree. For all her faults she's a woman of science. Sweets bases his life on the vagaries of psychology and emotion. You know, there's no common ground.
- Special Agent Seeley Booth: Right.
- Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan: You need common ground. What else is there?
- Special Agent Seeley Booth: Absolutely.
- [Then Bones and Booth look intently towards each other]
- Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan: If you're relying on superstition for safety perhaps I should carry the gun.
- Special Agent Seeley Booth: No. You are definitely *not* carrying the gun!
- Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan: I was going to say that I had an accident over here, but I don't like lying.
- Dr. Camille Saroyan: You dumped a bucket full of domestic beetles onto this work of art. They'll strip the flesh off our victim in no time.
- Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan: Within 30 hours... Am I fired?
- Dr. Camille Saroyan: Au contraire. Remind me of this moment around Christmas bonus time.
- Angela Montenegro: I honestly didn't think it would be murder.
- Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan: Which makes your conclusion all the more credible.
- Angela Montenegro: Only you would find that comforting.
- Caroline Julian: Okay, I got the injunction removed. You are free to crack open the car and remove the remains.
- Special Agent Seeley Booth: Thanks, Caroline. You are da bomb.
- Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan: Why is *she* the bomb?
- Special Agent Seeley Booth: No. *Da* bomb.
- Special Agent Seeley Booth: [as Booth is picking a lock] Look, if anybody asks, the door was open.
- Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan: No, it isn't.
- [Booth turns and looks at her]
- Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan: Ahh right.
- Angela Montenegro: So you brought me along. What can I do to help you?
- Special Agent Seeley Booth: I want you to be an artist, okay? And uh, keep me from looking like an idiot.
- Angela Montenegro: Not positive I can do both.
- Special Agent Seeley Booth: [to Bones about Anton Deluca] All right, someone I understand less than you.
- Anton Deluca: [as Booth is handcuffing Anton] When this case falls apart, I get out tomorrow, want to grab some dinner or something?
- Angela Montenegro: You're kidding.
- Anton Deluca: Well, I hear the gate swings both ways. Maybe we get some threesome action. You, me, Hottie Roxie.
- Special Agent Seeley Booth: Hey!
- [Booth slams Anton's head against the table]
- Special Agent Seeley Booth: Okay, all right, if you're gonna hit on Angela, you should do it with a little respect. Okay? Let's go.
- Dr. Jack Hodgins: [to Angela and Daisy as he is preparing to use the Jaws of Life] Stand back, ladies. This is about to get medieval.
- Caroline Julian: [as Hodgins is approaching the crushed metal] Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah! Sorry, cheri. Apparently, this is an historic piece of art.
- Dr. Jack Hodgins: It's a hard car shell with a gooey corpse filling.
- Special Agent Seeley Booth: How long have you and Thorne hated each other?
- Anton Deluca: You can write down since before the Big Bang.
- Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan: Oh, no, there was no before before the Big Bang. Because time didn't exist. If there are no organizing properties...
- Special Agent Seeley Booth: Bones, I'm just gonna write down it's been awhile.
- Caroline Julian: You can still examine it. You just can't disrupt it in any way. Don't worry this is only temporary. We'll see how artistic people feel when it starts stinking. Just don't scratch it.
- Dr. Camille Saroyan: Don't scratch the crushed automobile which encases a rotting dead body.
- Caroline Julian: Good. We understand each other.
- Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan: Okay, now what we want to do here is remove the skull very carefully.
- [Daisy reaches for the skull]
- Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan: Carefully.
- [Daisy accidentally crushes the skull]
- Dr. Camille Saroyan: ...I can't believe you did that.
- Dr. Jack Hodgins: Bummer.
- Daisy Wick: Usually when you say "we" you mean me! I'm so sorry. I'll put it together. I will stay up all night!
- Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan: I'll do it.
- Daisy Wick: Well I will assist you every step of the way. I will never leave your side!
- Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan: I would prefer to do it alone.
- Roxie Lyon: [Being questioned by Booth while Sweets is observing through the two way mirror] I was Geoffrey Thorne's assistant for almost four years.
- Dr. Lance Sweets: Okay, I suggest you start with the mundane, and then work yourself up to the sexual stuff.
- Special Agent Seeley Booth: So, did you have a sexual relationship with your boss?
- Dr. Lance Sweets: Okay. That's the total opposite of my suggestion.
- Special Agent Seeley Booth: Whoa. You wanna explain this to me?
- Roxie Lyon: Uh. Recently, Geoffrey's been talking about finding a way to make himself a part of the art.
- Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan: Do you mean literally?
- Helen Bridenbecker: [Reverently] The ultimate artistic act.
- Roxie Lyon: Geoffrey was depressed, and he said he felt like he'd reached his limit as an artist.
- Special Agent Seeley Booth: We'd like to show you a picture of the remains only if you're up for it.
- Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan: [Pointing to a photo] I suggest you don't look at the person, but rather this distinct ring.
- Helen Bridenbecker: That's Geoffrey.
- Roxie Lyon: I know that ring. I designed it myself. It's Geoffrey.
- Helen Bridenbecker: [Softly] Bravo, Geoffrey.
- Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan: You are an extremely unlikable woman.
- Dr. Jack Hodgins: [Smiling big as he enters Cam's office carrying a large machine] You know what this is?
- Dr. Camille Saroyan: The Jaws of Life.
- Dr. Jack Hodgins: [Completely impressed with the machine as he hoists it up on to his hip, the open jaws jutting upward] Twenty-three thousand pounds per square inch of raw, prying power.
- Dr. Camille Saroyan: You really wanna be the one to use that, don't you?
- Dr. Jack Hodgins: It's not displaced sexual frustration.
- Dr. Camille Saroyan: Of course not.
- Dr. Jack Hodgins: I am totally cool if Angela wants to date already... er, I mean, again.
