----------------------------

ICONS || SCREENCAPS || EPISODE SYNOPSIS/QUOTES:

BOOTH: I have a question regarding role of the F.B.I. in your book: Who do you base the brilliant and insightful Special Agent Andy Lister on?
GOODMAN: Oh, for God’s sake.
BOOTH: Because, you know, I’m pretty sure it was me.
BRENNAN: What are you doing here, Booth?

BOOTH: You’ve got to be kidding.
BRENNAN: What? My publishers gave it to me.
BOOTH: Gave it to you?
BRENNAN: Book sales are pretty good. It’s supposed to be a nice car.
BOOTH: Gave it to you?
BRENNAN: Yeah.
BOOTH: Well, why’d you park crooked?
BRENNAN: Well, the guy said to always park it like that.
BOOTH: He’s wrong. It makes you look like an idiot.
BRENNAN: How about I drive for once?
BOOTH: No, I cannot show up at a crime scene in that.
BRENNAN: Why?
BOOTH: Because it would detract from the gravity of my F.B.I. presence. Especially if you parked crooked.

BRENNAN: What about Shawn and David Cook? Where do they go now?
BOOTH: Back into the system.
BRENNAN: Do you have any idea how bad the foster care system is?
BOOTH: Do you? What do you want to do, hmm? Do you want to kidnap them, the way that she kidnapped Charlie?
BRENNAN: I want you to let them go home to Margaret Sanders.
BOOTH: It’s not gonna happen.

BOOTH: Bones, I thought you’d like to know that Shawn and David are in emergency care. Pulled some strings, you know, to make sure they- they get to stay together.
BRENNAN: That’s good, thanks.
BOOTH: It’s the best I could do.
BRENNAN: Yeah, I understand.
BOOTH: No, you say you understand, but you don’t. Not really. I mean, if you don’t like the rule, you ignore it, right?
BOOTH: I can’t have that. And if you want to do this-
BRENNAN: Do what?
BOOTH: Work on cases, you know, with me. Outside the lab. If you wanna do that, I need to know that you will respect the law.
BRENNAN (voice breaking): Tell you what, if I can’t respect the law, I can at least respect you.

BOOTH: He won’t talk to me.
BRENNAN: Let me do it.
BOOTH: Uh, no. You know, people are not your strong point, Bones. And besides, he’s not going to care how many facts you put in front of him.
BRENNAN: Could you just go with me on this one, Booth? We’re trying to catch a killer. Let me help.
BOOTH: When’s the last time you even talked to a kid?
BRENNAN: I know what to say.

BRENNAN (looking pointedly through the one-way mirror at Booth): I have a friend at the FBI. If I ask him to, he will make sure that you and David get to live with Margaret again.
ADVOCATE: Dr. Brennan, you can’t make promises like that.
BRENNAN: Yes, I can. He will do it. My friend will make it happen.
BOOTH: Oh, man.
BRENNAN: But you have to tell me who hurt Charlie.
BOOTH: I’m gonna need your help to keep the promises she made to that boy.
PROSECUTOR: Hey, I- I can’t promise-
BOOTH: Mrs. Johnson, my people and your people are gonna have to make this happen.

BOOTH: Look, I’m sorry.
BRENNAN: For what?
BOOTH: You have personal experience in the system.
BRENNAN: I was a foster child until my grandfather got me out.
BOOTH: Yeah, when you said ‘They take you away from your brother,’ I kind of had the feeling you weren’t talking about David Cook.
BRENNAN: Booth, I’ll tell you all about it one day, but tonight I have to get dressed for a party.
BOOTH: Oh. Okay, Bones.
BRENNAN: By the way, there’s a huge ding in my passenger-side door because you told me not to park it at an angle.
BOOTH (laughing): What?
BRENNAN: Okay, that’s just mean. You’re mean.
BOOTH (still laughing as he exits): Sorry.

BOOTH: You look nice. Better than nice, you look, uh... very…
BRENNAN: Thanks.
BOOTH: Bones, how did you know I was gonna keep your promise?
BRENNAN: What promise?
BOOTH: To get Shawn and David back with Margaret Sanders.
BRENNAN: Maybe I was lying. To catch the bad guy. I learned that trick from you. The end justifies the means.
BRENNAN: Booth.
BRENNAN: I knew you’d back me up. I knew you wouldn’t make me a liar.
BOOTH: Hmm. How did you know?
BRENNAN: Because you want to go to heaven.
BOOTH: But you don’t believe in heaven.
BRENNAN: But you do.
