ICONS || SCREENCAPS || EPISODE SYNOPSIS/QUOTES:

BRENNAN: Sorry if I interrupted anything.
[they walk]
BOOTH: [obviously lying] What? Oh! No. No, you didn’t.
BRENNAN: Good.
BOOTH: Okay. But if you must know, you know, Rebecca, my ex… she stopped by my place to pick up a comic that I got Parker.
BRENNAN: Okay.
BOOTH: She just so happened to pick up the phone. That’s it. You know? Nothing more, nothing less.
[turning a corner]
BRENNAN: I’m sorry. Did I say I must know?

BRENNAN: I was not gossiping.
BOOTH: Ooh, really? So then what would you call it?
BRENNAN: Merely sharing a point of interest.
BOOTH: Great. So now what am I, huh? [Booth gets up and starts to walk toward Brennan] The world’s largest ball of string?
BOOTH: Not you, your behavior. [Brennan lifts her head up from the microscope and turns around] It was a textbook example of just how helpless we higher primates can be to our biological urges.
BOOTH: I am not helpless.
[Brennan sighs and turns back to the microscope]
BRENNAN: He’s not elderly.
BOOTH: I can control my, uh- Who?
BRENNAN: Our victim. You see these marrow cells? The lack of collagen indicates osteogenesis imperfecta. Brittle bone disease.
BOOTH: And that’s supposed to tell me he’s not…old?
BRENNAN: Not necessarily. And if you’re not helpless, then why did you sleep with her?
BOOTH: Oh, I really don’t recall saying that I did.
BRENNAN: You didn’t have to. I could hear it in your voice. I might as well as walked in on you having sex.
BOOTH: [scoffing] You didn’t and we weren’t. [starts walking away]
BRENNAN: Well, it’s nothing to be ashamed of, Booth. [Booth turns around, fake smiling] Humans act upon a hierarchy of needs, and sex is very highly ranked. It’s an anthropological inevitability.
BOOTH: Thank you, Bones. I really appreciate you boiling me down to your anthropological inevitabilities.
BRENNAN: Sure.
BOOTH: Anytime.

BRENNAN: So you never said how it ended up with Rebecca.
BOOTH: Well, yeah, it ended. The only time we’ll ever spend together is with Parker.
BRENNAN: You sure that’s what you want?
BOOTH: You know what, Bones? It might be all anthropology to you, but there are certain people that you just can’t sleep with. I mean, you can pretend that it’s just sex. You can lie to yourself, and you can say that it’s all good. But, um, there’s just- There’s too many strings and- and too much at stake, you know? Too much to lose.
BRENNAN: Yeah. I can see that.
BOOTH: [standing up] It’s over, you know? I’d appreciate, you know, your support in that.
BRENNAN: I will. And if you should slip, I will…keep my mouth shut about it.
BOOTH: Thank you. But, I mean, it’s not like I’m gonna-
BRENNAN: No, I mean with anybody. I’m sure Rebecca’s not your only option for satisfying your biological urges. [they hold sexy eye contact]
