The Memories in the Shallow Grave [7.1]

Booth: [notices Brennan crying while examining a body] Everything okay, Bones? Brennan: Of course. I'm merely experiencing emotional inconsistencies due to hormnes secreted during pregnancy. Hodgins: Angela used to cry at the ShamWow commercial. Booth: Maybe the dead bodies are finally getting to you. Brennan: Of course not. Booth: Let me get a picture of this one. [takes out his cell phone and starts taking pictures] Brennan: [still crying] Stop it, Booth! Booth: Relax, okay? It's just -- you're normal. Brennan: I'm not normal! I'm extraordinary!

The Memories in the Shallow Grave [7.1]

Angela: Is it true that you were crying at the crime scene? Brennan: Only as a result of increased hormonal output, not at sadness at the victim's death. Wendell: Probably chorionic gonadotropin. Brennan: Exactly. Wendell: Still, I mean, you crying. I would have loved to see that. Brennan: Why? Angela: It's sort of like an eclipse. It doesn't happen that often. Brennan: Booth took a picture of me, but since I have a picture of him cooking an omelet naked he agreed never to show it to anyone. Wendell: Smart move. Angela: [stunned, somewhat amused] I'm sorry. Naked? Wow. [Brennan looks at her and smirks] Okay, listen, I am your best friend, so I think I should take a peek at that.

The Memories in the Shallow Grave [7.1]

Cam: [walks into Hodgins lab to see him holding his and Angela's son] What is this? Hodgins: [surprised, grins at Cam] Uh, it's a very small, bipedal primate from the Hominidae family. Cam: You both know the rules. Angela: Yeah, we do, but he doesn't. He missed his dad, so -- Cam: He's not allowed in the lab. I don't want to see him here again. Angela: Your daughter visits. Cam: She's eighteen! She's not going to spitup on the mass spectrometer. [Michael smiles at her] Tell him to stop looking at me like that. [Michael continues to smile] Would you tell him to stop? Angela: He likes you. Cam: Well, don't let the smile fool you. I'm still very upset. Sweet, baby boy. [Michael smiles] Angela: Who's that? Hodgins: That's my boy.

The Memories in the Shallow Grave [7.1]

Hodgins: So, I was sifting through the soil at the bottom of the grave and I found fibers coated in . Wendell: You said her clothes had absorbed the oil. Hodgins: Her clothes are made of polyethylene terephthalate. Wendell: Can't you just say polyester? Hodgins: I did.

The Memories in the Shallow Grave [7.1]

Brennan: What are these x-rays? Wendell: The paint had hardened, so I x-rayed each glob to see if there was anything inside. Hodgins: We didn't want to break it open in case it would destroy evidence. Brennan: What about 6F3? Hodgins: It looks like tree sap or resin. Brennan: Enlarge the image, please. Wendell: That's not sap. Cam: It looks like chewing gum. Hodgins: Okay, even if it is, the dye and the polyethylene, the paint would have destroyed the DNA. Brennan: We don't need DNA, do we Mr. Bray? Wendell: Of course not. I should have seen that. I'm sorry. Cam: Excuse me, the boss here needs an explanation. Brennan: Look at the image. There is a clear impression of the tooth in the gum. That's as clear as a fingerprint. Hodgins: If I freeze the paintball I should be able to extract the gum without compromising the shape. Brennan: I'll tell Booth. Wendell: She's having that baby so the next generation will have someone to make them feel dumb. Hodgins: Seriously.

The Hot Dog in the Competition [7.2]

Hodgins: Dr. Brennan, are you sure you don't want a chair? The way you're squatting, I'm worried that little guy in there is going to drop right out. Brennan: Thank you, but my uterus and cervical plug are quite healthy. Also, I'm not having a boy. It's a girl. Booth: [smiles] A girl. [becomes alarmed] Excuse me? Brennan: The fetus inside my womb has female genitalia. Hodgins: You guys are having a girl? That is so awesome! Booth: Okay, wait. Just wait one second. Can I have a word with you here? You're guessing, right? What we're having? Brennan: No, I had an ultrasound at the doctor's this morning. Are you displeased with the results? Booth: No, I'm thrilled, but you can't just spring something like that on me in public. Why didn't you tell me that you had a doctor's appointment? Brennan: Ultrasounds are poorly pixelated and black and white. You only like movies that are in color. Booth: I would have loved this movie! It would have been my favorite movie of all time! Brennan: I had n

The Hot Dog in the Competition [7.2]

Brennan: Did your interest in forensics stem from a plan to murder your stepfather? Finn: Yes, ma'am, it did. Brennan: Dr. Saroyan mentioned that he was physically abusive to both you and your mother. Finn: He had a temper. Probably why I behaved like I did. I could never find a way to make the mad go away. Brennan: So did you murder your stepfather, Mr. Abernathy? Finn: No, ma'am. I did not. Brennan: What stopped you? Finn: I read a paper you wrote: postmortem dismemberment analysis. I knew no matter how careful I was I'd never get away with killing him. At least not with ya'll around. Brennan: I like to think that's true. Finn: I took it as a sign from above to keep me on the straight and narrow. I haven't so much as talk in church since. Brennan: What happened to your stepfather? Finn: Last time I saw him I told him he was a dead man if he ever touched my mama again. I guess the son of a bitch didn't know I was bluffing. Brennan: I can imagine how it must feel to know people are thi

The Hot Dog in the Competition [7.2]

Brennan: I owe you an apology. Booth: An apology? Wait a second, is this you apologizing to me or me apologizing to you for something that I don't understand? Brennan: I understand how upset you must have felt not to be included at the ultrasound. While I wish I could undo what I've done to you, I can't. Booth: That's okay. An apology is enough. Brennan: Really? Because I have more. Booth: Oh. I'll always take more. What do you have in mind? Brennan: Well, the doctor made me a DVD of the ultrasound. While the resolution is not ideal, I feel certain that you will enjoy seeing this. Booth: Of course I'm going to enjoy seeing it. [whispers] Oh, wow. [He stands up] Look, that's the heartbeat. Brennan: [smiles] You're happy. Booth: Of course I'm happy! Look at that! She kicked! Brennan: [laughs] She has your prominent mental protuberance. Booth: Is that a good thing? Brennan: Yes. It's a very good thing.

The Hot Dog in the Competition [7.2]

Cam: (freaking-out on seeing a python emerge from the intestines of a dead woman during an examination) Somebody kill that thing! Brennan: (wide-eyed,on her cellphone to Hodgins) You can come back to the lab. We discovered the warm place where the python was hiding. (Finn pulls the python from the corpse, and holds it up to his face.) Finn: (to Cam) Oh, I got to say, Ma'am, this is the best damn job, ever.

Brennan: (about their living arrangement) We're still arguing about it. I want at least an acre of land, and he wants something called a . Booth: Wait, really? Really. You really want to get him involved? Brennan: He asked a question. Booth: Just tell him that it's crazy for him to carry a gun, that's all. Brennan: But it is not. Booth: It is. Sweets: (to Brennan) Thank you. Brennan: At the very least, he could draw fire away from you and get shot himself, which would reduce the likelihood of me becoming a single parent. Sweets: We, we, we don't have to go through every eventuality. Booth: You're not getting a gun. Sweets: Then I'll make sure you don't get a man cave. Booth: You're not going to get a gun. Sweets: Well, then, you won't get a man cave.

Prince In The Plastic [7.3]

Brennan: I'm not good playing with toys. What if I can't connect with our child? Booth: Okay, you connect with me, right? Brennan: You know I do. Booth: Okay, our child is half of me, so at the very least, you can connect with the me half. Get it, right? Listen, you're gonna be a great mom.

Prince In The Plastic [7.3]

Bianca: And I'm going to need each of you to sign a non-disclosure form before we enter. Booth: Oh, I can't do that. I'm with the FBI. What we do is disclose. Bianca: Well, then, I can't allow you to stay here. Daisy: Well, we can always shut the building down while we wait for a warrant if that's what you'd prefer. I'm sure the press would love a story like that. [Booth glares at Daisy] Bianca: Fine. Daisy: [to Booth] That was relevant, wasn't it? Booth: [glares at her] I cop, you squint. Daisy: Well, then permission to squint, Agent Booth. Booth: Squint away.

Prince In The Plastic [7.3]

Sweets: I'm here for my test, sir. Sweets: What, what are you doing here? Booth: Called in a favor. I'm running this one. Sweets: Booth, that's not fair. You don't want me to have a gun. It's gonna affect my performance. Booth: That's the point. You wanted to have my back. If something like this rattles you, I can't trust you. [smiles] So, ready? Sweets: Let's rock and roll.

The Male in the Mail [7.4]

Cam: The body fluids, along with the packing materials, transformed the tissue into an adipocerous gel. Clark: I'm pretty sure my middle school served this for dessert. Cam: Unless we can separate them, the packing material is going to contaminate any tests I run on the tissue. Clark: And I need to separate these bones before there's anymore chemical damage to them. Hodgins: I have got just what you need, Clark. This little puppy is a plycimer laser. Now, who wants to hear it bark? Cam: Aren't those used for eye surgery? Hodgins: There's gotta be an eye in here somewhere, right? Now, I've set it so that it'll zip through the goop and separate it from the cardboard. Cam: Can't we just cut the box open? Hodgins: But I already signed this out, and it's much cooler. Trust me.

The Male in the Mail [7.4]

Booth: You really want to help? I got a great idea. What do you say we talk about something else? Let's talk about you. Brennan: [pause] My breasts are very sore. Would you mind if I spent the evening naked? Booth: Sure, yeah that's fine with me. No complaints here, that's great. See, now, isn't this a better conversation?

The Male in the Mail [7.4]

Bob Fisher: Do not talk! Not... one... word! Sheila: [regarding herself and Oliver] We did it a few times, but it didn't mean anything! Booth: Where was your husband the night Oliver died? Sheila: Hugh wouldn't kill anyone. Bob Fisher: [grumbles] I hate my job.

The Male in the Mail [7.4]

[reading a letter from his son - Booth's father] "I didn't write a letter to Seeley because I knew he'd rip up anything I sent him - and he should. If you can find a way, let him know ... I love him. He and Jared deserved a better father than me. A father ... a father as good as I had. Thank you for raising him to be the man I could never be."

The Male in the Mail [7.4]

Brennan: Do you miss your father, Booth? Booth: Why? He's been gone for twenty years. No. Brennan: Are you going to open the box? Booth: You know I don't really want to talk about this. Brennan: But I do, and I might say the wrong thing, but for the time being we're sharing our lives and that means you can't shut me out, Booth. Booth: What's the point? [Brennan retrieves and places the box in front of him] Seriously? Bones. Brennan: Quantum physicists have postulated that the way we experience time is an illusion; that it doesn't happen in a linear way. That past and present, in reality, there's no difference. Booth: Bones, what are you trying to get at? Brennan: You do have some good memories of your father. You told me that. There was the time when the river froze and he woke you up at midnight to skating, and the time you were sweeping up at his barbershop when he put on and pretended that the electric razor was a microphone. And the World Series, your one perfect day together. Thos

The Twist in the Twister [7.5]

Cam: [spies Hodgins yawning while examining evidence] Is death getting dull to you, Dr. Hodgins? Hodgins: Oh sorry, it's Michael. Apparently our baby believes that sleep is only for the weak.

The Crack in the Code [7.6]

The mighty hut appears to be leaking.

The Crack in the Code [7.6]

Pelant: It's the giant flaw in our system: trying to make the system more secure, we make it more complex. But the more complex we make it, the more insecure we actually are. Booth: Well, it turns out I'm not a complex guy. I'm a simple guy. And simple guys take down guys like you.

The Crack in the Code [7.6]

Why is that man wearing an Easter egg on his head?

The Prisoner in the Pipe [7.7]

Brennan: (taking a hospital tour) I want a home birth where I can control things. Booth: Lot safer in the hospital, Bones. Brennan: No, on the contrary hospitals are breeding grounds for antibiotic-resistant super germs leading to a high incidence of E coli and staphylococcus infection. Pregnant Patient's Husband: I'm sorry, is that true? Booth: No, no, no. Brennan: (taking out UV light and shining it on the hallway) Based on the spatter pattern and viscosity, I see indications of blood, blood, cerebral spinal fluid, amniotic fluid, blood, more blood... Nurse: Is there a problem back there? Pregnant Patient's Husband: (taking magazine away from his wife) Don't touch anything.

The Prisoner in the Pipe [7.7]

Brennan: At this stage of my pregnancy, my IQ could be anywhere from eight to ten points lower than normal. Daisy: Which is why we all need to pitch in every way we can. I'm becoming a certified doula. [squints as Hodgins' headlamp shines in her eyes] Brennan: You aren't getting anywhere near my cervix, Miss Wick. Daisy: Just saying. Should you find yourself in need, I could stop at the perineum.

The Prisoner in the Pipe [7.7]

Cam: I ran a tox screen on the ocular fluid and it came back negative, which eliminates poison as cause of death. Do you have anything? Brennan: There's a fragment of the right ninth rib with striations that are consistent with a stab wound, but there's so little evidence it would be irresponsible of me to form a conclusion at this point. Angela: Come on. Just this once. Brennan: [wriggles under the pressure] No. Cam: [grins, goading] You can do it. Just say it's a stabbing. Brennan: I can't. Angela: We'll think you're cool if you do. Brennan: Well I want to be cool, but I can't. Angela: It's okay, honey. We still love you just the same.

The Prisoner in the Pipe [7.7]

Booth: [looking at welcome home sign] What is that? Welcome stapes? Brennan: [laughs] It's the smallest bone in the human body. Angela: We didn't know her name, so -- Brennan: Thanks. She's so lucky to have all of you. Angela: So, what is her name? Booth: Well, we named her after Bones' mom. Brennan: Christine. Our daughter's name is Christine. Christine Angela. Angela: Oh my God.

The Bump in the Road [7.8]

Brennan: Did you wash the nipples? Booth: Yes, I did in the shower, but I don't think day care is gonna check.

The Bump in the Road [7.8]

Hodgins: I found more papers in her bra. Angela: Well, these papers from her pockets are all faded. I have no idea what was written or printed on them. Hodgins: It must be something important. Angela: Why do you think that? I mean, you have papers in your pockets and so do I. Hodings: Yeah, but do you also stuff papers into your bra? Angela: [smiles] Not since high school. Hodgins: She was hiding it, right? That means they're important. You know, maybe even secret. Angela: You think this is some kind of government conspiracy? Hodgins: Ang, in 1963 the positions of the Soviet nuclear fleet were sewn into the lining of a hunting cap. Angela: The video spectral comparator should be able to tell us what was once on here. Hodgins: You never know, I mean, these markings could be code. See? Here. Angela: Yeah, it's a UPC code on a coupon. Hodgins: Ten cents off any three pack of tapioca pudding. Angela: [points at the screen, in mock horror] Oh my God. Oh my God! Terrorists are trying to corn

The Bump in the Road [7.8]

The Don't in the Do [7.9]

Brennan: I don't know what to wear. Booth: What do you mean? We're going to a garbage dump, there's no dress code. Brennan: Well everything I put on, all the clothes I had before the baby, I just feel like I'm not...you know what I mean? Booth: No, I don't. Listen, we've got to get Christine to the daycare. Brennan: I feel like I'm in someone else's body. Booth: Oh, no, you are not in somebody else's body. Trust me, I know your body. I guarantee that one. (they kiss) Brennan: Okay, now you are humoring me so that you can get to the crime scene. Booth: Yes, I am. So why don't you wear the green thingy? Brennan: What, this? It makes me look like a golf course. Booth: Bones, what's the matter? You're never like this. Brennan: Oh, you don't think I should care about how I look? Booth: Right. I get it, you're an airplane propeller and I'm about to walk into you so I am going to take a step back. Brennan: I don't know what that means. Booth: You're just feeling a little vulnerable because yo

The Don't in the Do [7.9]

Booth: I'm so glad your back buddy! And so is Christine. Parker: She's so little. Booth: Yeah, Oh, I think she's smiling at ya. Parker: Ya think? Booth: Yeah. Booth: So, what do you think of ya room, it's just like your old one. Parker: It's awesome. Parker: I think you should take her. Booth: Right, okay. Easy. Parker: I don't want her to hate me. Booth: She's not gonna hate you. You're her big brother. Come on, huh? Booth: It's alright. Booth: So, what do you think of that i got the old RC truck out. I found it. Parker: Do you think it still works? Booth: Of course it does. Me and Christine we put some batteries in it this morning, and we took it for a few laps. Booth: Look. Bones had to go to the lab, so maybe later, you, me and Christine, we can make some spaghetti meatballs, huh? Parker: Christine can't really do the things you say, Dad. Booth: I know. But we're all just really happy that your back. Parker: You like her? Booth: I love her, just like i love you, okay? Parker: Can i

The Warrior in the Wuss [7.10]

Booth: Hey, buddy? You here, just had a quick break wanted to see if you wanted to grab a bite... Booth: -or something... Parker? Parker? Great.. Parker: Dad..? Booth: Yeah. There you are. Where were you. Parker: What are you doing home? Booth: I came home to see you, of course. Obviously. And i was gonna pick up my gym bag. Parker: I haven't seen it. Booth: Right. Of course you haven't seen my gym bag. Why would you of seen my bag..? Where were you just now? Parker: Uh.. No where, just out exploring the woods out back. Booth: Out back, exploring the woods? Right, then why didn't you tell the babysitter where you were? Parker: Because i'm not a baby, Christine's the baby. Booth: Booth... Great so is there gonna be something else or is this all about worms..? All right, so he was beaten up. Booth: The karate teacher, I'll tell you what, i'll come by and pick you up and we can see if his hands match his wounds and stuff. Alright, see you in 15. Booth: Hey.. Buddy, i have to get back to w

Parker? I was wondering if you wanted to take a walk with me and Christine? Parker? Parker, you okay?

The Warrior in the Wuss [7.10]

Parker: I haven't done anything wrong! I swear. Booth: You've been destroying things, you've been lying to us. Brennan: You've stolen pictures. Parker: I haven't stolen anything! Booth: It's best to stop right now, bud. You don't wanna make it any worse. Parker: You don't understand. Brennan: I do. There's an anthropological necessity for you to seek superior status within the family structure. Parker: I don't understand. Booth: Well.. she just means that we understand that it's hard for you to accept Christine. Parker: No! No! I like her. She's my sister, I love her! You guys are ruining everything. Brennan: Us? What did we do? Parker: It was supposed to be a surprise, you would see it when you put Christine to bed! I may as well show you now. Parker: I wanted to make her something, that's all. Parker: See? It's Christine's family. Parker: Here's a picture of Temperance. Parker: Dad, there's your FBI patch. Booth: That's the patch you took from my Gym bag. Parker: Yeah, but it was an

I don't understand. If you have a useful talent, why are you an actor?

The Past in the Present [7.13]

Caroline: [at Pelant's parole hearing] This isn't a court of law. We don't need proof. That's why I like it. Booth: Sometimes you gotta work a little out of the system, Bones, for the greater good. Max: You two don't understand what happens when the system turns on you! I do! Angela: I hope Cam is happy. If she had just kept things to herself, we wouldn't be in this position. Caroline: Angela, you listen to me on this subject. All of us did what Pelant expected, except for Cam. Because of her, you squints are all still in this, which Pelant fears above all else. As long as the Jeffersonian stays in the game, the good guys live to fight another day. My opinion, Cam Saroyan is the hero of this story so far. Brennan: I love you, Booth. I don't want you to think that Christine is the only reason we're together.
