- Special Agent Payton Perotta: Dr. Brennan, nice to see you. I was honored you requested me as a substitute for Agent Booth.
- Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan: The variables involved in breaking in a new person outweigh the benefits of possibly finding a better investigator.
- Special Agent Payton Perotta: Ah, let's not get gushy about it.
- Dr. Jack Hodgins: Found some shoes in the closet. Soles contain insect, soil, blood.
- Special Agent Payton Perotta: You want our lab to analyze it or yours?
- Dr. Jack Hodgins: Yeah, I'd like you see you try to get these away from me now - figuratively speaking of course.
- [Hodgins starts to walk away]
- Special Agent Payton Perotta: Anything else, Dr. Hodgins?
- Dr. Jack Hodgins: In some ways, you're just like Booth. I meant that as a compliment.
- Special Agent Payton Perotta: I don't think you do.
- Dr. Lance Sweets: We need someone who blends in. Someone who looks like they belong there.
- Colin Fisher: [singing along to his music] "I drug your ghost across the country. And plotted out my death in every city. Memories would whisper. Here is where you rest."
- [Notices everyone staring at him]
- Colin Fisher: What's wrong now?
- Special Agent Seeley Booth: So why wasn't Perotta with you?
- Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan: I was with Sweets.
- Special Agent Seeley Booth: That's like being protected by a smurf. Not the sheriff. The guy who was in charge. I don't even know his name, but he was a small blue guy.
- Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan: [about Sweets' Costume at the convention] Where did Sweets get a costume so quickly?
- Special Agent Payton Perotta: My guess would be his closet.
- Special Agent Payton Perotta: Booth is right, you're like a portable polygraph.
- Dr. Lance Sweets: He didn't mean that in a good way though, did he?
- Special Agent Payton Perotta: [after taking the phone from Brennan] How are you, Agent Booth?
- Special Agent Seeley Booth: The only reason that I am not comin' in right now is because Bones told me not to. But she's your responsibility, nothing can happen to her, okay? If anything happens... to her... y'know that silky black hair, soft skin...
- Special Agent Payton Perotta: ...I... will not let her out of my sight, you have my word. Now, uh, we should really get back to the case, Agent Booth.
- Special Agent Seeley Booth: Am I stopping you?
- Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan: [after Perotta hangs up with Booth] I don't need a sitter. Booth gets needlessly protective sometimes. I have no idea why.
- Special Agent Payton Perotta: You really don't, do you?
- Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan: No.
- Angela Montenegro: So you didn't actually paralyze him?
- Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan: No. The Vicodin seems to be working. He claims it makes the furniture feel friendly. But he'll be on bed rest for the remainder of the week.
- Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan: I've seen many unusal murder weapons, so the fact that I don't recognize *this* one, eliminates the others.
- Colin Fisher: Wow. My kind of silver lining. It's depressing.
- Dr. Lance Sweets: You feel the need to be in control don't you, Ms Daniels.
- Valerie Daniels: I'd like to control you if you're up for it.
- Dr. Lance Sweets: Oh I assure you, I'm not! And your attempt to regain self-esteem through sexual intimidation will not repair the dysfunctional relationship you had with your father: abandonment, abuse, indifference.
- Dr. Jack Hodgins: [Picking up the sword] Whoa ho ho! Excalibur!
- [Hodgins lifts the sword]
- Dr. Jack Hodgins: I am the once-and-future king!
- Angela Montenegro: Way to not be creepy.
- Dr. Camille Saroyan: Hodgins, are you trying to help someone? Because that's not your character.
- Dr. Jack Hodgins: Way I see it, Fisher's like a deep cover agent. He infiltrated teh enemy to uncover secrets. In order to do so, he had to suffer a night of passion with a beautiful but dangerous enemy
- Colin Fisher: You have no idea how dangerous.
- Special Agent Seeley Booth: [as Bones is adjusting Booth's back] This is going to be good. Believe me, I really am not going to forget
- [There's a loud crack. Booth speaks in a high pitch]
- Special Agent Seeley Booth: this.
