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

ICONS || SCREENCAPS || EPISODE SYNOPSIS/QUOTES:

BOOTH: Name?
BRENNAN: You know my name.
BOOTH: Bones, you are making an official request to the FBI to be allowed to carry a concealed weapon. I have to follow protocol.
BRENNAN: It’s ridiculous.
BOOTH: Fine, then we’re done here. Do you wanna get some coffee…?
BRENNAN: My name is Dr Temperance Brennan.
BOOTH: Reason for wanting a gun?
BRENNAN: To shoot people.
BOOTH: Not a good response.
BRENNAN: It’s the truth.
BOOTH: You know, I’m writing “self defence in the performance of my duties pursuing suspected felons as contracted out to the FBI.”
BRENNAN: So I can shoot them.
BOOTH: Ever been charged with a felony?
BRENNAN: Charged, or convicted?
BOOTH: Charged.
BRENNAN: You know I have.
BOOTH: I have to ask the questions.
BRENNAN: Bureaucratic nonsense.
BOOTH: Nevertheless, name of the arresting officer?
BRENNAN: You… Special Agent Seeley Booth. Do you need me to spell that for you?
BOOTH: I can sound that out.
BRENNAN: So when do I get the gun?
BOOTH: You can’t have a gun.
BRENNAN: Why not?
BOOTH: Because you were charged with a felony.
BRENNAN: Write down that you were wrong to charge me.
BOOTH: Oh, there’s no space for that.
BRENNAN: Why’d we go through all of this if you were never going to give me a gun?
BOOTH: You have a constitutional right to apply for a weapon. I would never deny your constitutional right.
BRENNAN: But I need a gun!
BOOTH: Rules are rules.
BRENNAN: Tell them that I shot a murderer who was going to light me on fire.
BOOTH: Which is why you weren’t convicted. But you did shoot an unarmed man. I… I can’t ignore that. I swore an oath to protect society from people who shoot people.
BRENNAN: It was only his leg, and he’s in jail for the rest of his life, how much is he gonna use it anyway?
BOOTH: You have the right to an appeal.

BOOTH: Hey Bones, what are you doing this weekend?
BRENNAN: I have plans.
BOOTH: Come on, I’m serious.

BOOTH: It’s a weekend deal. Off the books. But if you have plans…
BRENNAN: Wait. This is a personal favour you’re asking?

AMY: So, are you seeing each other?
BRENNAN: Who?
AMY: You and Booth.
BRENNAN: No. No, we’re working together.
AMY: Cause I’m picking up a bit of a sex vibe.

BOOTH: Fine. Can I get a shovel? Thanks.
BRENNAN: Dig gently. Small layers at a time. What would you usually be doing?
BOOTH: What?
BRENNAN: If it were a normal weekend.
BOOTH: You want to discuss this now?
BRENNAN: Compared to you with your multiple sex partners…
BOOTH: You know, that’s none of your business, okay? I’m not having sex with Amy, and I have never ever cheated on any woman that I’ve ever been with. Never!
BRENNAN: I just asked what you’d normally be doing.
BOOTH: I’d be at a movie, dancing… being with somebody that I care about. You?

BOOTH: We got played.
BRENNAN: What? How?
BOOTH: Either way, Epps wins. We find Ross, the execution is stopped. We find these bodies…
BRENNAN: The execution is stayed until these murders are investigated.
BOOTH: If I don’t make this call, he’s gonna be dead in half an hour.
BRENNAN: But these women, they deserve to be heard. It’s what we do, Booth. The rest…

BRENNAN: You gonna arrest me for assault?
BOOTH: From what I saw, purely self defence.
BRENNAN: Maybe I shouldn’t carry a gun after all.
BOOTH: Hell, you can have mine.

BRENNAN: Are you in trouble with your boss?
BOOTH: I’m sorry for wrecking your weekend for nothing.
BRENNAN: No, not for nothing.
BOOTH: Come on, you know what I mean. You know, all that running around, it didn’t change anything. Epps was guilty. He was always guilty.
BRENNAN: There was doubt. We had an obligation to respect that doubt. We all share in the death of every human being.
BOOTH: Very poetic.
BRENNAN: No, very literal. We all share DNA. When I look at a bone, it’s not some artefact that I can separate from myself. It’s a part of a person who got here the same way I did. It should never be easy to take someone’s life. I don’t care who it is. What? What?
BOOTH: You know, you’ve been practising your Nobel prize speech just a little too much.
