Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan : My foster parents locked me in the trunk of a car for 2 days when I broke a dish. I was a very clumsy child. They warned me it would happen, but the water was so hot and the soap was so slippery. I still don't think it was fair, even though they gave me fair warning. The water was so hot.

Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan : Gordon-Gordon is making cassoulet.

Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan : See? It sounds better.

Special Agent Seeley Booth : [Watching from his office and speaking to Bones with an earbud] Okay listen, Bones, you just tell him you don't care if he did it or not, you'll just throw his ass in jail.
[Bones scoffs]
Special Agent Seeley Booth : It's all right to lie during an interrogation, it's a technique.

Dr. Camille Saroyan : Ah, just another Saturday night.
