- FBI Special Agent James Aubrey: You are an idiot, you know that?
- Special Agent Seeley Booth: Excuse me.
- FBI Special Agent James Aubrey: Do you really think you're gonna do better than me?
- Special Agent Seeley Booth: You should get out while you can.
- FBI Special Agent James Aubrey: Look, I know that what happened to you is messed up. And then what happened to Sweets. But remember that Sweets trusted me to work with you. So when you treat me like crap, you're treating Sweets like crap, too.
- Special Agent Seeley Booth: You are my partner.
- Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan: Your world has to be bigger than just you and me, Booth.
- Special Agent Seeley Booth: It is, all right? I'm back to work, aren't I?
- Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan: Well, objectively that's true. But you still don't seem to trust anyone. And you have to, to do this job.
- Special Agent Seeley Booth: I trust you.
- Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan: Then listen to me. Sweets said that you have to believe in something again, something bigger than yourself.
- Special Agent Seeley Booth: I do. My family.
- Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan: You haven't been to church since you've been released.
- Special Agent Seeley Booth: You don't even believe in God.
- Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan: But you do. And you used to believe that people were good. And they deserve to be trusted.
- Rodolfo Fuentes: How is your husband? Is it difficult for you now that he has been back from prison?
- Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan: Is this another attempt to bed me? Because Booth and I are fine!
- Rodolfo Fuentes: No, not at all. I just know the effect of trauma. My brother was betrayed by police he worked with, like Booth.
- Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan: Oh, I'm sorry! I... I assumed you were...
- Rodolfo Fuentes: Oh, please! You're beautiful, I'm handsome, misunderstandings like this are common between people such as us.
- Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan: True.
- Special Agent Seeley Booth: It's got some tequila in there. A little ginger beer, some crème de cassis. I mean, it's a weird combination, but it works somehow.
- Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan: Like us.
- Special Agent Seeley Booth: Like us. Shake it, baby.
- FBI Special Agent James Aubrey: [Seeing the victim] Oh! Holy crap! Oh, man! Oh my God! Where is the other half of him? That's the worst thing I have ever seen.
- Dr. Camille Saroyan: Really? I'd only gave this about a 7.5.
- Special Agent Seeley Booth: Ah, I'd give this a 6. You know, the floaters are much worse.
- FBI Special Agent James Aubrey: Yeah, well, you know, give me a nice clean gunshot any day.
- Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan: It seems you're not familiar with the explosive nature of a head wound.
- FBI Special Agent James Aubrey: Okay, okay, hazing the new guy. Really funny.
- Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan: Blunt surface of the orbital margins indicate the victim is male, Caucasian.
- Dr. Camille Saroyan: The inside of the pants confirms the male part.
- Special Agent Seeley Booth: Does he have a record?
- FBI Special Agent James Aubrey: No, Spaziano is so clean, he's practically Canadian.
- Bob Gordon: You ever hear of the Fourth Amendment?
- Special Agent Seeley Booth: Yeah, it helps with people who have something to hide.
- Angela Montenegro: Okay, when I eliminate the college graduates I'm left with a list of 45 names.
- Dr. Jack Hodgins: [Enters] Oh, we can get that number down, 'cause the King has arrived.
- Dr. Camille Saroyan: King of the Lab? Isn't that a little passé?
- Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan: We're positing torture, but look at the damage to the radius.
- Rodolfo Fuentes: Hmm, I see what you mean. Compared to what I've seen in Cuba the damage is relatively slight.
- Dr. Camille Saroyan: So, we're looking for a compassionate torturer?
- Special Agent Seeley Booth: It's creepy, right? I mean, sex is about love, not about being tied up and beaten.
- Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan: I disagree.
- Special Agent Seeley Booth: What?
- Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan: Sex and violence are two of humanity's primal urges. An amalgamation of them is a logic byproduct.
- Special Agent Seeley Booth: Bones, S&M isn't a peanut butter cup. It's not two great tastes that go together.
- Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan: You enjoy being bitten.
- Special Agent Seeley Booth: Bit...? No, I don't!
- Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan: When we make love, sometimes I nibble you ear. Your response is very positive, to say the least.
- Special Agent Seeley Booth: Look, a nibble is a lot different from being whipped.
- Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan: All degrees of the same thing.
- Special Agent Seeley Booth: Look I think the Inquisition, you know, would've been a lot different with nibbling, if you ask me.
- Angela Montenegro: This is a recreation of the victim;
- Rodolfo Fuentes: Okay, can we move close into the victim's skull?
- [Angela zooms in]
- Rodolfo Fuentes: Okay. Now, I reevaluated the cracked dentition and nasal bone fractures, I found out earlier. Originally I thought that it was the result of multiple strikes.
- Angela Montenegro: You think a single strike did all this damage?
- Rodolfo Fuentes: I hope so. Now, it was so much easier in Cuba where we could just make up the evidence we needed. But we don't have that luxury. Please put a ball gag in the victims mouth.
- Angela Montenegro: Yeah... eh... a ball gag...
- Rodolfo Fuentes: It's a common piece of S&M paraphernalia, but it wasn't at his office.
- Angela Montenegro: I know what a ball gag is, I just don't have the graphic in my system.
- Rodolfo Fuentes: Oh. How strange.
- Angela Montenegro: What about a golf ball?
- Rodolfo Fuentes: What about a squash ball? That's a much more accurate facsimile.
- Angela Montenegro: Oh, yeah, that's a great idea. Yeah, we had a guy die on a squash court once, it's perfect! I mean it's not perfect, but it's... it's helpful.
- Dr. Jack Hodgins: Let me see the tooth? Looks like there's some kind of trace on it. Yeah, there's, like, an accumulation of textile fibers.
- Dr. Camille Saroyan: Lint. It's simpler to say lint.
- Dr. Jack Hodgins: Right.
- Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan: I'm so impressed you were able to pinpoint an exact location from an handful disparate sounds.
- Angela Montenegro: Eh, actually I... I couldn't do that.
- Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan: Oh! No need to worry, you are still a valued member of our team.
- Angela Montenegro: I'm not finished yet, sweetie.
- Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan: A twist! Please continue.
- Special Agent Seeley Booth: You know, I can probably get to two shades of Grey, but I'm not gonna be making 50. I'll tell you that.
- Special Agent Seeley Booth: It's called a B&B.
- Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan: Oh. You named it after us?
- Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan: You haven't been to church since you've been released.
- Special Agent Seeley Booth: You don't even believe in God.
- Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan: But you do. And you used to believe that people were good. And they deserve to be trusted.
