- Seeley Booth: What, there's... fecal matter in water parks?
- Temperance Brennan: They're known for it. And studies show that early exposure to E. coli bacteria is beneficial to the development of children's immune systems.
- Seeley Booth: Fecal matter, like, you know, poop, poo-poo?
- Seeley Booth: Bones, he died, cause he was trying to protect me.
- Temperance Brennan: What do you mean?
- Seeley Booth: You know that X-ray that we saw in the sound studio? I know who that was
- Temperance Brennan: There was no name on it. I looked for that.
- Seeley Booth: He died of a gunshot wound in the head. Center core. 3,000 feet away. I'm the one who made that shot.
- Temperance Brennan: That is a ridiculous assumption. There are other snipers capable...
- Seeley Booth: Bosnia. 1995. The general - remember, I told you about him?
- Temperance Brennan: The warlord that you had to shoot. You saved a lot of lives doing that.
- Seeley Booth: I killed him. I killed him right in front of his own son. He's got allies and family. This is about revenge.
- Temperance Brennan: You can't know that, Booth. It was just one X-ray.
- Seeley Booth: I mean, Aldo knew that I was the shooter. He killed himself so he wouldn't have to give me up.
- Temperance Brennan: That's one possibility. There are others.
- Seeley Booth: It's the only thing that makes sense, Bones. And whoever this is, they're not gonna stop until...
- Temperance Brennan: What should we do?
- Seeley Booth: Just be ready
- Camille Saroyan: Booth once told me that, um, Aldo never stopped believing in God, but that his belief no longer comforted him, not after what he'd seen, so... how could he make it his life's work?
- Jessica Warren: Aubrey is worried about what this will do to Booth.
- Camille Saroyan: Yeah, the past is a rabbit hole. I'm worried about him, too.
- Seeley Booth: I could've gotten him help.
- Temperance Brennan: Perhaps. But that's in the past. Moving forward, there is only one thing you can do for Aldo.
- Seeley Booth: Look, if you're gonna tell me to forgive myself, please don't.
- Temperance Brennan: Forgiveness would be ineffective.
- Seeley Booth: Okay then, what? I mean, what works?
- Temperance Brennan: Revenge
- Seeley Booth: That's not me. I mean, there are rules.
- Temperance Brennan: You will follow those rules. The act of bringing a murderer to justice is, anthropologically speaking, a form of revenge. You have suffered a loss. Making the killer suffer for that loss will help.
- Seeley Booth: Yeah, well, I hope so, Bones. Because right now I couldn't feel much worse.
- Seeley Booth: You call your lawyer, and he'll get you out in no time. But that's when I get started.
- Jake Tompkins: What is that supposed to mean?
- Seeley Booth: I''ll be all over you. Whatever you do, buy, sell, I'll be watching you.
- Jake Tompkins: That's actually called harassment.
- Seeley Booth: It is. It's called harassment. You really want to do that to your business, Jake?
- Seeley Booth: All right, well, if you hear anything, just let me know. It's my job now to take care of things, okay?
- Ted McKinney: Sure, Booth, we'll sit and wait for that to happen.
- Seeley Booth: You know what, Ted, I'm not here to get into this with you right now. This is about Aldo.
- Temperance Brennan: It didn't go well with the men?
- Seeley Booth: These guys saw hell. You know, most of them are still paying the price.
- Temperance Brennan: You feel the effects of war, too, Booth.
- Seeley Booth: Yeah, but I got lucky. I got a great family and great life. Got all this.
- Temperance Brennan: You're an addict, just like Aldo. Unlike him, you got help.
- Seeley Booth: Yeah. But you're in my corner. That's the difference. Aldo had no one.
- James Aubrey: You really think Booth's the guy for this? They have a history.
- Caroline Julian: I can't think of anyone better.
- Caroline Julian: Your close friend was tortured with rats. That is something we need to discuss.
- Seeley Booth: Look, what do you say?
- Caroline Julian: I was hoping you would have the words.
- Seeley Booth: For something like this, there's not much you really can say. We just... we move on. And we keep looking till we find this guy, and we don't stop.
- Caroline Julian: That was just right, Seeley, I knew you would have it.
- Seeley Booth: It wasn't a suicide.
- Temperance Brennan: Booth, the facts clearly indicate that it was.
- Seeley Booth: A sacrifice, it was a sacrifice.
- Temperance Brennan: I know this is difficult, Booth, but... you're gonna get through it.
- Seeley Booth: Yeah, sounds like something Aldo would have said.
- Temperance Brennan: He was right.
- Seeley Booth: I told Christine that we're checking out a new library.
- Temperance Brennan: I hope she's not too disappointed when we take her to the water park instead.
- Seeley Booth: Are you kidding me? 97 slides, four waterfalls, and the biggest dunkinator in the state
- Temperance Brennan: There are fractures on the stapes. They've remodeled some time ago. 14 years.
- Angela Montenegro: How can you be so precise?
- Temperance Brennan: Because Booth has similar fractures.
- Caroline Julian: The man is your father
- James Aubrey: And I already turned him in once, so it will be easier the second time
- Jessica Warren: I thought these scratches on the proximal phalanges were caused by rat predation. I never asked: why eat the toes when there is so much good stuff left on the body?
- Camille Saroyan: Well, I might not have asked that one either
- Jack Hodgins: [Wheels in] If you're noticing a zip in my roll, it's because I am officially extremely excited!
- Caroline Julian: [Looking at the coffee machine] Tell me, is there any difference between a latte and a latte macchiato?
- [...]
- James Aubrey: With the latte, you add your espresso shot to the steamed milk, the macchiato it's the reverse
- Caroline Julian: And you taste the difference?
- James Aubrey: Absolutely
- Caroline Julian: I don't buy it
- [and picks up the old coffee pot]
- Caroline Julian: Aldo was a good man, Seeley. You have my sympathies
- Seeley Booth: Thanks
- Caroline Julian: You're right. Sympathy sucks
- Caroline Julian: I hear Aldo was in rough shape. What was going on with him?
- Seeley Booth: I don't know, Caroline. I hadn't spoken to him for over a year.
- Caroline Julian: If I know you, you tried.
- Seeley Booth: You know what? I'm not gonna let myself off the hook on this one, all right? Anytime I needed anything, anything, Aldo was always there for me.
- Caroline Julian: I'm sure that goes for the other men in your unit, too.
- Seeley Booth: What does that mean?
- Caroline Julian: He took on all their troubles. It could be he didn't want you getting pulled in, too.
- Seeley Booth: Yeah, well, it's too late, 'cause I'm gonna find out who did this to him.
- Caroline Julian: Of course you are.
