- Jack Hodgins: [Emptying a garbage bin] Like looking for a prize at the bottom of a cereal box
- Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan: Apparently, you and I eat different kinds of cereal
- FBI Special Agent James Aubrey: I putting my money on the mafia. The way the body was hacked up, very organized crimey
- Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan: Your speculation is a waste of my time, agent Aubrey
- FBI Special Agent James Aubrey: Right, we'll cancel the mafia thing for now
- Jack Hodgins: [Finds a used diaper on a pizza] So much for pineapple being my least favorite topping
- Angela Montenegro: Is it too much to ask for a complete skull? I mean, sometimes these murderers are so inconsiderate
- Camille Saroyan: Well, and since no one from our victim's age , race or gender was reported missing, your facial reconstruction needs to be exact
- Angela Montenegro: Hmm, no pressure. Thanks
- FBI Special Agent James Aubrey: You were looking for me?
- Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan: Yes, it looks like someone tried to poison the cat.
- FBI Special Agent James Aubrey: Skinner?
- Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan: Yes.
- Special Agent Seeley Booth: [Confused] So what's a skinny cat have to do with anything here?
- Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan: It's actually not the cat; it's the bird the cat ate.
- FBI Special Agent James Aubrey: What bird did he eat?
- Special Agent Seeley Booth: I'm sorry. Are you following this?
- FBI Special Agent James Aubrey: Sure, we've developed a shorthand.
- Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan: We have?
- FBI Special Agent James Aubrey: Apparently, so what did Skinner eat?
- Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan: I found bone fragments in his stomach.
- FBI Special Agent James Aubrey: You cut open Skinner?
- Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan: What? No! No. I... I took x-rays. The bones were from a Bewick's Wren.
- Special Agent Seeley Booth: [Still confused] All right, you sound very excited by this.
- Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan: Bewick's Wren is on Maryland's endangered list.
- FBI Special Agent James Aubrey: [Realizing who the murderer is] Oh, my God! You're kidding!
- Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan: Right? It makes sense, doesn't it?
- FBI Special Agent James Aubrey: Yes.
- Special Agent Seeley Booth: [Having been unable to follow the discussion] I don't know if I like this shorthand thing.
- FBI Special Agent James Aubrey: I think we just solved the case, Agent Booth.
- Special Agent Seeley Booth: Anyway, Bones called. She wants the techs to go back out in the field work to look for more body parts
- FBI Special Agent James Aubrey: Yeah, I'm already on it. Angela sent over some help. See, by triangulating all the locations where the body parts, we already recovered, she was able to significantly narrow down the search area, which she then cross-referenced with the garbage truck pick-up routes...
- Special Agent Seeley Booth: Enough, enough! Enough, with the squint talk. If I wanted to talk squint, I would go to, you know, squint land!
- Camille Saroyan: Are you gonna do anything special tonight, Wendell? To celebrate the end of the clinical trial?
- Wendell Bray: Uhm, I hadn't really thought about it
- Camille Saroyan: Well, you deserve to have to some fun after what you've been through
- Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan: Well, many people become extremely intoxicated to celebrate
- Wendell Bray: [smiles] I'll keep that in mind
- FBI Special Agent James Aubrey: Are you okay with this? Uh, what we're are doing?
- Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan: Well, I've been on a lot of murder investigations, agent Aubrey. I'm quite used to it
- FBI Special Agent James Aubrey: But with me, I mean. Because I think it's really cool
- Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan: I'm sure you do, but I'll be reserving judgment until I can judge your value as a colleague
- FBI Special Agent James Aubrey: So, I guess warmth isn't you thing?
- Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan: I don't really have things
- Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan: I hope I don't regret leaving you alone
- FBI Special Agent James Aubrey: That's exactly what my mother used to say! Just kidding
- [Bones frowns]
- FBI Special Agent James Aubrey: Sort of
- Jack Hodgins: Well, I guess I'm gonna just need to run the entire simulation again with more blood
- [starts taking out his blood from his arm]
- Angela Montenegro: Eh, what the hell are you doing?
- Camille Saroyan: I second that
- Jack Hodgins: I need blood. Unless one of you wants to volunteer?
- Angela Montenegro: Eh no, its okay
- Camille Saroyan: I pass
- Wendell Bray: You know, considering the victim spent his career messing with people's mind, I'm not surprised by what happened to him
- Camille Saroyan: Well, don't blame the professor. I would never have pressed that button
- Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan: Well, according to the data, you're more than likely to, which is why civilized societies can become barbaric. Germany had the most advanced public education system in the world. Impressive industrial production and yet they tried to exterminate an entire race of people
- Camille Saroyan: Okay, then. And now I hate myself, thank you very much
- Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan: Look at the diastemata of Victoria's incisors in relation to the dental lacerations on the victim
- FBI Special Agent James Aubrey: Right, was I supposed to know what you just said?
- Special Agent Seeley Booth: No, you're just supposed to nod. Eventually she's gonna tell what that means
- Angela Montenegro: By creating a high pass filter with an adjustable pixel radius, I was able to remove the low frequency details, while allowing the more in-focus high frequency details to remain
- Jack Hodgins: As if I needed another reason to love you
- Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan: [to Booth] You should be pleased with yourself for picking Aubrey. He's quite competent
- FBI Special Agent James Aubrey: Was that just a compliment?
- Special Agent Seeley Booth: I tell you what, why don't you just enjoy the spotlight for now and go finish this case, huh?
- Special Agent Seeley Booth: Okay, you're sure about this?
- Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan: Yes
- Special Agent Seeley Booth: Then I'm gonna trust you on this one... I'm sorry. The correct answer was B? You're supposed to be a genius
- Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan: Officer Stop 'n Go is wrong.
- Special Agent Seeley Booth: Okay, would you like to argue with an officer? Go ahead.
- Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan: Well, he's wrong... I'm never wrong.
- Special Agent Seeley Booth: You are at this instance. And I'm not going to forget it either.
- Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan: I apologize for giving you incorrect information.
- Special Agent Seeley Booth: You know what, I tell you what, I have been looking for something to hold over your head for years. So, you know what? I have to thank you.
- Jack Hodgins: I have too many particulars. So far, I've got salmon, chicken, corn, whole wheat, flower...
- Wendell Bray: Is it wrong that I'm starting to get hungry?
- Jack Hodgins: Vitamin B12, yellow number 5, carrageen, antifreeze
- Wendell Bray: Ugh, on second thought
- Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan: Did you hear me, Mr. Bray?
- Wendell Bray: Ehm, yes. The mandible. Eh, and there are remodeled fractures in lateral curvature of the 6th and 7th ribs
- Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan: Are you okay? I'm not good at reading people's emotions, but you do seem distracted and yesterday you were smiling excessively
- Wendell Bray: I'm... I'm fine. Sorry
- Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan: Then please concentrate!
- Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan: Why are you acting like your hockey team the Finers won?
- Special Agent Seeley Booth: Not the Finers, they're the Flyers.
