Quotes 

• Seeley Booth : You have a tendency to say the exact wrong thing at the worst possible moment.

  Temperance Brennan : And then other times, I say exactly what is needed. Like this morning when I skillfully negotiated sex, not just once but twice.

  Caroline Julian : God bless you, child. I couldn't have proven my point better myself.

  Seeley Booth : Know what, it was three times.

• Seeley Booth : Look, I just want you to be you. You know, you, your usual, wonderful, but very direct self.

  Temperance Brennan : And what if I say something that could be misconstrued as offensive?

  Seeley Booth : Yeah, you will. And that's exactly what I'm counting on. You see, because then Winters will react, and I'll get a read on her.

  Temperance Brennan : Oh, very clever.

• Seeley Booth : Oh, what's that smell?

  Temperance Brennan : Oh, that would be durian, referred to in Indonesia as the king of fruit, frequently added to sayur. Remind me to get some to take home.

  Seeley Booth : So our home can smell like a foot. I mean, who needs a TV to get in the way of our sex life when we have foot smell, right?

• Caroline Julian : You are 100,000% certain the victim is a member of Congress?

  Temperance Brennan : Was a member of Congress. The use of the present tense is inaccurate now that Senator O'Malley has been killed, dismembered, scavenged by raccoon and shredded by three-ton industrial street sweeper

  Caroline Julian : [to Booth]  Under no circumstances is she going with you to notify the family.

• Temperance Brennan : Are you aware that couples with a television in their bedroom have sex half as often as couples without one in their bedroom?

  Seeley Booth : Yeah, well, did you know 73% of people make up statistics?

• Temperance Brennan : Oh, actually research has shown that sexual activity increases neurogenesis in the hippocampus.

  Seeley Booth : Wow, so sex is gonna make us smarter and help us solve the crime.

• Temperance Brennan : [Booth just explained his plan]  Oh, very clever! So, I should think of this as an undercover assignment, but you want me to play myself.

  Seeley Booth : You're over thinking this.
