Bones, season 5

Booth: I do not like cats. Sweets: Well, that's consistent with the person you were before your brain surgery. Booth: I don't own a nightclub, I'm not married to Bones, you are not a singing bartender and I hate clowns. So, can I go back to work now? Sweets: When our sense of reality is challenged - you know - really challenged, it can take some time to regain our footing. Booth: Look, it's been six weeks since I put my brain box through the blender, there. I am back, baby, huh! Special Agent Seeley Joseph Booth!

Avalon: This man was lost. You brought him the light that showed him the way home. Without it he would have died. Angela: Booth was in a coma. Brennan read him the book that she was writing. When Booth woke up he thought that they had a whole different life together, he thought that they were married. He thought that for days. Avalon: You were joined at that time. You're still joined. Brennan: [Getting up to leave.] Nothing either of you is saying makes sense. Avalon: [Turns over another card] Were you pregnant? Brennan: [Dismissively] What? No, of course not. Avalon: I mean in your book. Brennan: [Stares, surprised, for a moment] No, I deleted the book. I'm tired, Angela, I'm going to go check in at the office and then go home. Nice to meet you, Miss Harmonia. [Leaves] Angela: [About Brennan] Underneath the icy exterior beats a very warm heart. Avalon: Her life is at a very critical turning point. Between great happiness - [She turns over a card.] Angela: [Reading the card] That's "De

Cam: What's really on your mind? Booth: [Sighs, troubled] All right, um, that, uh, place that I went to, you know, in my coma dream? It was just, Bones and I, it was so real. Cam: [Bluntly] You're in love with Dr. Brennan. Booth: [After a pause] What I'm wondering is, am I the same guy? Cam: A sweet, kick-ass FBI murder solver with hard fists and a lion heart? Mmm, yep, you're still him. My advice, for what it's worth, forget the bruised brain and go with your lion heart. Booth: Right, right, yeah, and tell Bones how I feel. Cam: Yes. Except, be sure about your feelings, because if you crack that shell and you change your mind, she'll die of loneliness before she'll ever trust anyone ever again.

Sweets: Do you know what you're looking at? Booth: Yeah, and I'm pretty sure you haven't been this close to one in a long time. Sweets: It's a PET scan of your brain. Booth: Hmm. Then I was wrong. Sweets: This is called the ventral tegmental area, and this is the dorsal caudate body. Now these two areas have been proven to be linked to romantic love and sexual arousal. Booth: Okay, if this is your version of dirty pictures, they're not working for me right now. [Closes the laptop computer.] Sweets: No. [Reopens computer] This, uh, this scan was taken before your operation. The green and blue colors indicate very low activity. The same scan while you were in the coma: lit up like the fourth of July. You were dreaming of being in love, of being married, right? [changes image] The same scan, three days ago. Before your operation you were not in love. After your operation you were. Conclusion: your feelings are not real and will fade away, like every other symptom of your coma. Now, I thin

Avalon: Dr. Brennan, how are you feeling? Brennan: Well, they gave me medication, so I feel how I imagine people of average intelligence feel all the time. I came here to see if you ran away. Avalon: No, I'm here looking for clues. Something I might have missed. Brennan: In your cards? Because that is a waste of time. Avalon: You say that after I sent Agent Booth to save your life. Brennan: Well, you knew where the bodies were buried. You knew Dr. Leacock would attack me. Avalon: [turns over a card] You were an abandoned child. [turns over another card] The world scares you, so you wrap it up neatly in bonds of reason, education and proof. All riddles are solvable to you, except for one. Brennan: Yes, the riddle of how you knew where your sister was buried. Avalon: No. The riddle you can't solve is how somebody could love you. Brennan: [laughs dismissively] Well, I'm beautiful and very intelligent. Avalon: The answer to the question that you're afraid to say out loud is: yes, he knows

Sweets: Do you want my advice? Brennan: No. Sweets: Okay, if you really want to help Booth, you should let him teach you about plumbing. Brennan: I'm a wealthy, accomplished woman. Why would I want to learn a menial skill? Sweets: Well, for Booth, so he can regain whatever he feels he's lost. I think, for once, it would be beneficial if you were the student.
