- FBI Special Agent James Aubrey: I used to work surveillance.
- Dr. Jack Hodgins: Domestic surveillance? I was just startin' to like you.
- FBI Special Agent James Aubrey: Whatever it takes to keep you safe.
- Angela Montenegro: Hold on. If the body was found inside the house, why does it look like a werewolf was snacking on the remains?
- Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan: Scavengers must have gotten inside.
- Majid Namazi: These are two tickets back to America. The flight leaves this afternoon. If you're on it, there will be no unpleasantness.
- Dr. Camille Saroyan: Wait, no! I need to see Arastou!
- Special Agent Seeley Booth: [Booth turns to Hooshmand] You said you could help us.
- Hooshmand: I am. Sometimes there is a limit to what can be accomplished. I'm keeping you safe.
- Special Agent Seeley Booth: Whoa, wait, wait. What if we can help you?
- Majid Namazi: Help?
- Special Agent Seeley Booth: Yeah, help. If Arastou is actually unharmed, that means you need him alive. You have a murder that needs to be solved.
- Dr. Camille Saroyan: And if you brought him to an abandoned surgical center, rather than a real morgue, that means you're operating outside the law.
- Majid Namazi: It is unwise to threaten me.
- Special Agent Seeley Booth: This is not a threat, this is an offer.
- Christine Booth: I don't tell my name to strangers. I tell strangers that my daddy works for the FBI.
- Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan: Are you gambling? I need you to tell me the truth. Because without the truth, we have nothing. So, please... are you?
- Special Agent Seeley Booth: Some people say that, uh, pitchers that come back after having that surgery are even better. We're talking wicked fastball
- Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan: Wicked being good or wicked bad?
- Special Agent Seeley Booth: Wicked in baseball is always good, Bones
- Dr. Camille Saroyan: What are you doing here? Where's Booth?
- FBI Special Agent James Aubrey: He's on with the NSA, the CIA, the whole alphabet soup
- Dr. Jack Hodgins: [Pointing to a map] Cam told us that Arastoo was taken from this ice-cream shop, Jasmine and Rose
- FBI Special Agent James Aubrey: I just want to say, Persians make a great pistachio, it's creamy
- [Angela and Hodge frown at him]
- FBI Special Agent James Aubrey: not relevant
- Angela Montenegro: So, now listen. They took 3 flights of stairs, or 36 steps
- [Angela plays the sound]
- Dr. Jack Hodgins: The question is: are they going up or down?
- FBI Special Agent James Aubrey: Up. Footsteps aren't loud, which means they're using the balls of their feet rather than their heels, which occurs on descending
- Angela Montenegro: Wow, it's very impressive!
- Special Agent Seeley Booth: You just have to have patience
- Dr. Camille Saroyan: Patience? Would you be patient if it was Dr. Brennan over there?
- Christine Booth: Mommy, what day will Daddy be home?
- Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan: Soon, I hope.
- Christine Booth: You always tell me to be precise. Soon is not precise.
