- Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan: I see no reason why telling the truth would be considered aggressive.
- Dr. Lance Sweets: It is when you do it without exception. I mean the small fiction that we call "white lies" play a crucial role in human interactions.
- Special Agent Seeley Booth: It's the glue that holds us together.
- Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan: How? A world without lies would be far more efficient.
- Special Agent Seeley Booth: If-if no one had any feelings but people do.
- Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan: Do you lie to me?
- Special Agent Seeley Booth: No, Bones. I don't.
- Dr. Lance Sweets: I would argue you're doing it right now.
- Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan: Oh?
- Special Agent Seeley Booth: Okay, fine. I am. It's not a big deal.
- Dr. Camille Saroyan: And there's also a new policy in the lab.
- Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan: Well, what's that?
- Dr. Camille Saroyan: You are the only person who's allowed to be radically honest. And that's only because I can't stop you.
- Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan: Well, that's too bad. I prefer everyone to speak their minds.
- Dr. Camille Saroyan: I actually don't care what you prefer because this is my lab and I make the rules.
- Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan: Then perhaps Wendell won't be able to tell you how ashamed he felt that he might've hurt your feelings after you were so generous to give him the extra work. He was quite emotional.
- Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan: Why is it so difficult to tell me something I already know?
- Special Agent Seeley Booth: It's hard to explain.
- Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan: Some things are better left unsaid.
- Special Agent Seeley Booth: [Raising his glass to make a toast] To things we don't say.
- Dr. Camille Saroyan: Okay. That's it! I don't care what you do on your own time. But from now on, unless we're talking about the evidence, I do not want to hear one more honest word in this lab. Honesty is clearly the downfall of civilization. Civility, propriety, and manners are its redeemers, understood?
- Special Agent Seeley Booth: Hey Pig Pen, what are you doing here?
- Dr. Jack Hodgins: My own wife just rejected my call!
- Special Agent Seeley Booth: Oh! Couch time!
- Dr. Jack Hodgins: I don't know. Why do you think -?
- Special Agent Seeley Booth: No. No. I just wanna know why you're here.
- Nicole Francuzzi: He insulted everyone: co-workers, clients. He even called the CEO of Burger Blaster a horse-faced buffoon. We lost 6 clients in 6 months.
- Special Agent Seeley Booth: This guy have brain tumor or something?
- Nicole Francuzzi: Worse. Grew a conscience.
- Wendell Bray: You're a pretty strange dude as it is, but when you use words like "couth," you seem really strange.
- Dr. Jack Hodgins: Really? Did it make you feel better?
- Wendell Bray: ...Yes, it did.
- Dr. Jack Hodgins: Good. Can I be honest with you?
- Wendell Bray: Yeah. Go for it.
- Dr. Jack Hodgins: Okay, when you were going out with Angela, I once planned your murder in great detail.
- Wendell Bray: Heh. I appreciate your honesty.
- Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan: Is it possible for a lawyer to be entirely honest?
- Dr. Lance Sweets: Well, a group dedicated to exploring the truth is likely to attract individuals who make a habit of lying on a daily basis.
- Dr. Jack Hodgins: I am... attempting to open an honest dialog between us.
- Angela Montenegro: By insulting my painting?
- Dr. Jack Hodgins: By stating what I think - regardless of the consequences. Now you try it. Something's obviously on your mind.
- Angela Montenegro: Hodgins, we don't...
- Dr. Jack Hodgins: I'm a big boy. I can take it.
- Angela Montenegro: Yeah, I'm not so sure about that.
- Dr. Jack Hodgins: Wow. That-that's nice. Big vote of confidence there for the man you're gonna spend the rest of your life with.
- Special Agent Seeley Booth: [Bones' car is parallel parking itself] What are you doing?
- Dr. Lance Sweets: Whoa! Ghost driver!
- Special Agent Seeley Booth: How did you do that?
- Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan: It's called "Intelligent Parking Assist". The car guides itself into the parking spot.
- Special Agent Seeley Booth: Wow! Look at that, huh? Does it solve murders?
- Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan: [Deadpan] Of course not.
- Special Agent Seeley Booth: Good. I like my job.
- Wendell Bray: Hodgins, she did not reject you. She rejected your call.
- Dr. Jack Hodgins: It was a pre-complete ring off - from my wife, dude. Are you really going to tell me that's nothing?
- Wendell Bray: Okay, no. So what did you do?
- Dr. Jack Hodgins: Nothing. I-I-I make her breakfast. I tie her shoes for God's sakes.
- Wendell Bray: Well there's gotta be something. Are you going to talk to her?
- Dr. Jack Hodgins: Of course not. She's pregnant. The hormones are running the institution.
