ICONS || SCREENCAPS || EPISODE SYNOPSIS/QUOTES:

BOOTH: What’d you do?
BRENNAN: I read, walked on the beach, chilled.
BOOTH: You chilled. In Darfur. You chilled in Darfur.
BRENNAN: In North Carolina. I changed my vacation plans to spend time with my brother. Russ and I talked about it and we really want to find Dad.
BOOTH: No, okay, well just so you know, the FBI is going to find your father, no matter what you want.
BRENNAN: My brother and I don’t want the FBI to backburner it’s search.
BOOTH makes a sharp left turn, and the tires squeal on the wet pavement.
BRENNAN: Is it okay to go over on two wheels like that?
BOOTH: Only when making sharp turns at high speeds. Okay, Bones, why don’t you have a little, uh, you know, faith in me, okay? I’m not gonna backburner the case all right? I’m gonna…find your father.
BRENNAN: My brother said you’d say that.
BOOTH: You really keep saying ‘my brother’ a lot.
BRENNAN: Well, I lost Russ for fifteen years. I like the sound of it. …my brother. (she makes a face) What’s with the siren? And why are you driving like a maniac?

BRENNAN: You know, Angela says that you and Cam had a sexual relationship. Does that affect your view of her?
BOOTH: (on his phone) Patch me through. (to BRENNAN) Wildly out of line, just so you know that. (on his phone) When?
BRENNAN: You know, personal prerogative is at the heart of scientific inquiry.
BOOTH: Bones.

BRENNAN: Hey, that’s our guy!
(She moves to exit the car, but BOOTH stops her.)
BOOTH: Oh, no, no, shh. What we gotta do is we got to wait until he deals. Catch him in the act.
(They both look out the driver’s side window.)
BRENNAN: We wait? For how long?
BOOTH: However long it takes.
BRENNAN: Well what do we do while we wait?
BOOTH: This is a stakeout. We converse.
BRENNAN: Well, I tried to initiate conversation about the drug war, but…
BOOTH: (sighs) Oh God. Fine, you know what, let’s talk about something we’re not going to argue about

CAM: Hey, I intimidate people.
BOOTH: Yeah, Bones doesn’t intimidate.

BOOTH: Well, looks like your brother was here.
BRENNAN: Never understood the idea of bringing flowers.
BOOTH: (handing her a bouquet) Just for once, Bones, do what people do. Kay? See how it feels. That’s it. I’m going to go stand over here, while you talk to your Mom.
BRENNAN: I told you, I don’t do that.
BOOTH heads off, leaving BRENNAN standing alone in front of her mother’s grave.
BRENNAN: Mom, it’s me. Temperance. I have questions, but you can’t answer them. No offence, but I don’t think there’s anything here of you but your bones, so…(quietly) can’t believe I’m doing this. (pauses) Is Dad a good man or…a bad man? He had someone killed. Had him murdered and…what’s the truth? Do I…do I keep looking, or do I let it go like he asked? Who’s he protecting? Himself? Or me, and Russ?
(She falls into silence and looks doubtfully at BOOTH.)
BRENNAN: Booth? I asked the questions and guess what? No answer.
BOOTH: Well, maybe if you weren’t standing right on top of her, took a step to the left, showed just a little respect. Sometimes it takes a while to get an answer, okay? Just leave the flowers.
(BRENNAN reluctantly leaves the flowers at the base of the headstone.)
BRENNAN: I get answers from a lab, you get them from people. Nobody gets answers from a slab of stone.
BOOTH: Yeah, well I see an answer in the stone. See, you buried your mother as Christine Brennan, the woman that you knew as your mother and not by her real name, Ruth Keenan. That tells me who you are.
BRENNAN is preoccupied with pulling on a latex glove to pick a tiny silver dolphin up from the base of the headstone.
BOOTH: What do you got?
BRENNAN: A dolphin.
(She slips the dolphin into a plastic bag.)
BRENNAN: What does that tell you?
BOOTH: What does it tell you?
BRENNAN: My father was here.
BOOTH: Because he loves your mother, grieves her loss, and he came here to talk to her.
(He takes the dolphin out of the bag.)
BRENNAN: You’re tainting evidence.
BOOTH: It’s not that kind of evidence, Bones. It’s evidence of something else. Something that can’t be tainted.
(He hands her the dolphin, which she holds up and examines)
BRENNAN: It’s beautiful.
BOOTH: Yeah.
