- Caroline Julian: Finally. There you are.
- FBI Special Agent James Aubrey: What are you doing here?
- Caroline Julian: Waiting for you, and praying you didn't come home with any holes in you.
- FBI Special Agent James Aubrey: Nope. Just the ones I was born with.
- Caroline Julian: This is unseemly, but I will still talk to you.
- Jack Hodgins: [Arriving at the crime scene] Wow, somebody got their hands on a world-class incendiary device
- Camille Saroyan: Well, whoever it was, he really wanted to get rid of this van
- FBI Special Agent James Aubrey: I had one of my people run the VIN. It was stolen from a mall in Baltimore this morning
- Jack Hodgins: Your people?
- FBI Special Agent James Aubrey: I delegated. That's how I get things done
- Jack Hodgins: Angie? You're okay?
- Angela Montenegro: I ran the... the serial number from the gun, you know, the gun you found on the ankle, and...
- Camille Saroyan: You got a name?
- Angela Montenegro: Yeah, I couldn't believe it! It... it all matches up with what you found: the age and the gender, the body type, all of it. It's his gun
- Camille Saroyan: Who's gun?
- Jack Hodgins: Booth's!
- Seeley Booth: Well, it's a whole new part of the FBI. See, what I do now is, I train agents.
- Temperance Brennan: Daddy is a freelance instructor.
- Christine Booth: What does "freelance" mean?
- Seeley Booth: It means that I can do whatever I want. I can... I can go whenever I want. I'm the boss, right? It means I can spend more time with you, right? More time with the bruiser battle axe Flyer here. And especially more time with you.
- Temperance Brennan: Awe!
- Seeley Booth: Hey, Hank, it's a battle axe.
- Christine Booth: Mommy says it's a plow.
- Seeley Booth: Plow? Where's the fun in that?
- Temperance Brennan: The fun is in the accuracy, Booth.
- Special Agent Grace Miller: When was the last time when you saw your husband?
- Temperance Brennan: When he left the house at 8.36 yesterday morning
- Special Agent Grace Miller: That's a very precise time
- Caroline Julian: She's a very precise lady
- Special Agent Grace Miller: I need you to describe your husband's behavior over the past few dates
- Temperance Brennan: Anthropologically there are seven basic modes of behavior and many subsets. I need you to be more specific
- Seeley Booth: All right, listen, I gotta go. See you later, alligators.
- Christine Booth: In a while, crocodile!
- Temperance Brennan: This man had Booth's gun. Now Booth is gone. I am not leaving until these bones lead me to wherever the hell my husband is.
- Temperance Brennan: No, Booth is not like Jared.
- Special Agent Grace Miller: He had documented authority issues, mandated counseling, and a-a gambling addiction that should have ended his career.
- Temperance Brennan: Booth knew he had weaknesses, and he worked on them. Jared refused to work on his.
- Special Agent Grace Miller: I'm sure that created resentment. I bet they fought.
- Temperance Brennan: You are implying that Booth may have killed his brother. That is categorically impossible. You don't know Booth.
- Temperance Brennan: Booth promised he wouldn't see Jared.
- Arastoo Vaziri: That's probably the only promise he couldn't keep.
- Temperance Brennan: I don't understand why.
- Arastoo Vaziri: There's a bond between brothers. If my brother, Hamid, needed me, I would be there in a second.
- Temperance Brennan: That's different. You risked your life to go to Iran because your brother was sick.
- Arastoo Vaziri: Yeah, but what if Booth's brother needed him?
- Temperance Brennan: Jared leaned on Booth whenever he was in trouble. Booth and I discussed this many times. So, what was he keeping from me?
- Jack Hodgins: This stuff is amazing. It was invented for housing insulation, but its uses are endless
- Arastoo Vaziri: Fascinating. Any way you can get this done faster?
- Jack Hodgins: Whoa! Patience, my friend. Do I tell you how to examine your bones?
- Arastoo Vaziri: You don't and I'm grateful. It's amazing you did this without damaging the remains
- Jack Hodgins: Well, don't thank me, thank the foam
- Arastoo Vaziri: I'm okay with just thanking you
- Jack Hodgins: [Arastoo feels incompetent taking over Bones' job] Hey, when Micheal Jordan retired, you think that Scottie Pippen just stepped into his shoes right away?
- Arastoo Vaziri: Pippen didn't step into Jordan's shoes. He never won anything after Jordan retired. And he wasn't half the player Jordan was
- Jack Hodgins: Eh, that was bad example, ter... terrible example!
- Jack Hodgins: [Enters, seeing Arastoo and Cam looking at the wedding ring] Oh my God! Dude, you asked her! Good for you!
- Arastoo Vaziri: No, actually
- Jack Hodgins: She said no?
- Camille Saroyan: Eh, he hasn't asked yet
- Arastoo Vaziri: All indications are that this is Booth.
- Temperance Brennan: Indications? Is that how we decide things? I guess it's going to be up to me, then... to know based on all of the facts.
- Arastoo Vaziri: Of course, but maybe you shouldn't look at the...
- Temperance Brennan: No one is more qualified than I am to determine if these are Booth's remains.
- Temperance Brennan: You think it's him, don't you? We left all this behind. It can't be him. It just can't.
- Special Agent Grace Miller: [Phone ringing]
- Special Agent Grace Miller: Miller
- Angela Montenegro: Uhh okay, Montenegro here. I found something important.
- FBI Special Agent James Aubrey: [Turning on the facetime on the tv]
- Jack Hodgins: Hello guys! Everything okay?
- Special Agent Grace Miller: [Aubrey making a grimace]
- Caroline Julian: Peachy! What do you got?
