- Dr. Jack Hodgins: This is unbelievable; This is the third time I've been a murder suspect. It makes me want to *kill* someone so you don't waste your time.
- [pause. Booth and Aubrey exchange looks]
- Dr. Jack Hodgins: It was a joke. I'm joking.
- Special Agent Seeley Booth: I know what it's like to be innocent and have a bunch of circumstantial evidence, you know... stacked against you.
- Dr. Jack Hodgins: Thank you, Booth.
- FBI Special Agent James Aubrey: And I really do think you're a good guy.
- Dr. Jack Hodgins: Yeah, great.
- [Turns and leaves]
- FBI Special Agent James Aubrey: So, please don't be the killer.
- Special Agent Seeley Booth: What about Leona? Why her?
- Aldus Carter: Because of a video spectral comparator I was developing. I found out she was stealing my designs and that's the only reason she was sleeping with me.
- Special Agent Seeley Booth: Oh. You. And... She was... Wow. Well, that... Okay. Oh. Well. Whoa.
- Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan: I'm no closer to finding the killer than I was when the remains were smoldering.
- Special Agent Seeley Booth: Oh.
- Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan: Oh... What?
- Special Agent Seeley Booth: You think you'll look bad in front of all these forensics geeks if it takes you too long to solve this one.
- Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan: *If* I solve this one.
- Special Agent Seeley Booth: Alright, look. I'll bet you a hundred bucks they'll be even *more* jealous when it's done.
- Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan: Booth, you're in gamblers anonymous. You shouldn't be betting.
- Special Agent Seeley Booth: Right, and you're a genius. Alright? So, don't say stupid things.
- Aldus Carter: [Calling out to the team investigating the body inside a utility area] High intensity LED lamps. Pure light that won't alter the visual integrity of the evidence.
- Dr. Howard Fitch: Dr. Saroyan, I have an RCC tool kit, and some debris sifters that...
- Special Agent Seeley Booth: Stop! Stop, alright, everybody? Just keep it down out here, alright?
- Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan: I'd like a head lamp.
- Dr. Camille Saroyan: Me, too.
- Dr. Jack Hodgins: Yeah. Lamps for everyone.
- [Goes upstairs to the crowd]
- Dr. Jack Hodgins: Who's got the LED lamps?
- Aldus Carter: Here. I've got four.
- Dr. Jack Hodgins: Thank you.
- Aldus Carter: Thank *you*.
- Dr. Jack Hodgins: [Returns and hands one to Cam and one to Bones] For you.
- Dr. Camille Saroyan: Thank you.
- Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan: [Still kneeling over the remains] What is this white crust?
- Special Agent Seeley Booth: Where's *my* lamp?
- Dr. Jack Hodgins: Hello, synthetic rubber. Alright, well this is some kind of cool polymer. So. So far, we have got coffee grounds, melted aluminum foil, two kinds of plastic, polyester, Styrofoam, gum and rubber.
- Wendell Bray: And two trays of stuff yet to be identified.
- Dr. Jack Hodgins: Particulates. Don't say stuff. It's sacrilege.
- Special Agent Seeley Booth: You know, Wendell. You know, back in '02, we had to secure this ridge in Gozni before our major forces came in. Little did we know, the Taliban had already been there and they pinned us down for about six days, and they kept picking us off... one by one. Fifteen guys went up that ridge and only three came home.
- Wendell Bray: I know what you're tryin' to do, Booth. I appreciate it. The doctors tried to do the same thing...
- Special Agent Seeley Booth: No, you don't. I don't think you know what I'm talking about. And I don't think you appreciate what I'm telling you right now. What I'm telling you is that I saw twelve of my brothers killed in front of me. Twelve.
- [pause]
- Special Agent Seeley Booth: You got dealt a bad hand. Deal with it.
- Wendell Bray: Sorry...
- Special Agent Seeley Booth: Enough with the apologies. Okay, Wendell? Stop feeling sorry for yourself and keep fighting. I don't need to see another brother die.
- Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan: The rubber is an exact match for your patented and well, quite excellent non-stick gloves, Mr. Carter.
- Special Agent Seeley Booth: Couldn't do better with a finger print and do not compliment the murderer.
- Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan: Oh, Sorry.
- Angela Montenegro: Gosh, this is crazy. It's like walking into a show with my dad, and...
- Attendee 3: Miss, Montenegro? I... I... You are the most brilliant person at the Jeffersonian. Your steganographic decryption and stochastic deduction...
- Dr. Jack Hodgins: [Tries to pull Angela away] So sorry, we're actually in a rush.
- Angela Montenegro: No, no, no, don't be rude! Let her, let her finish, Hodgins.
- Dr. Jack Hodgins: Oh?
- Angela Montenegro: You were saying?
- Attendee 3: I just think you're amazing.
- Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan: The fire is still localized. This extinguisher should contain it
- [Uses it, but the fire continues even more vigorously]
- Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan: This makes no sense! Why isn't it putting out the fire?
- Angela Montenegro: Because this isn't the time for a science lesson! Let us just go.
- Special Agent Seeley Booth: [Breaking off a TV interview] Okay, that's it. Break it off, let's go. Go find a Kardashian, party is over, all right? Thank you, Bye-bye.
- Wendell Bray: What're you doing?
- Dr. Jack Hodgins: Well, I am making a mold of the shoeprint.
- Dr. Camille Saroyan: With... what?
- Dr. Jack Hodgins: Well, I got this from some guy out there, that's experimenting with this inert polymer resin, that's totally not invasive.
- Dr. Camille Saroyan: Yeah, I'm sorry I asked! Just keep at it.
- Dr. Jack Hodgins: So the killer wouldn't need to be in the plumbing and electric room when the fire started.
- Dr. Camille Saroyan: Then all the timelines that Angela worked out, that cleared some of the suspects, are meaningless.
- Dr. Jack Hodgins: Which means none of the suspects has an alibi.
- Dr. Camille Saroyan: Including you.
- Dr. Jack Hodgins: Including me.
- Special Agent Seeley Booth: Listen, I know what it's like to be innocent, and have a bunch of circumstantial evidence, you know, stacked against you.
- Dr. Jack Hodgins: Thank you, Booth.
- Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan: I thought I'd start my speech with a joke.
- Special Agent Seeley Booth: Right.
- Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan: Erwin Schrödinger gets pulled over by the police for speeding. The officer says: "What's in the trunk?" Schrödinger said: "A cat". The officer said: "Well, I need to see", so the police officer opens the trunk, he says: "This cat is dead." Schrödinger says: "Well, it is now".
- Special Agent Seeley Booth: Give me heads up when the joke's coming.
- Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan: Well, that was a joke, Booth. Well, it's based on Schrödinger's famous thought experiment.
- Special Agent Seeley Booth: Ah, you know what, I usually judge a joke by how funny it is. And there's no yuks on that one.
- Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan: Great. Now my speech for the forensic convention has no beginning.
- Special Agent Seeley Booth: Try this for a joke. You hear about the, uh, restaurant on the moon? Great food, but no atmosphere.
- Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan: That's not a science joke.
- Special Agent Seeley Booth: Yes it is. It's got the word "moon", it's got the word "atmosphere" in it. It's very sciencery.
- Dr. Jack Hodgins: [On hearing who the victim is] Oh my God! Wow, I feel terrible, cause I don't feel terrible.
- Wendell Bray: I can't believe Dr. Brennan thought she'd look foolish in front of everyone. She's the best, man.
- Special Agent Seeley Booth: Sometimes people doubt how strong they really are.
