Dr. Temperance Brennan : I've been thinking about your whole "something stinks" aptitude.
Special Agent Seeley Booth : Oh yeah?
Dr. Temperance Brennan : I think you have a subconscious knack for reading body language. Stress in the voice, other subtle yet discernible indicators. It's not mysterious, but it is impressive, and in the future...

Headmaster Ronson : How is that relevant?
Dr. Temperance Brennan : You know what's a better question? What makes you think you get to decide what's relevant? You're basically the pricipal of a high school.
Special Agent Seeley Booth : We need to see all of the sex tapes you confiscated.
Headmaster Ronson : Absolutely not.
Special Agent Seeley Booth : Well, I'll just get a warrant. And in the application for the warrant I'll include your admission that you allow your students to swap homemade sex tapes.
Leo Sanders : The headmaster isn't refusing to provide you with the tapes.
Dr. Temperance Brennan : "Absolutely not" sounds like a refusal.
Leo Sanders : When we confiscate the tapes, we immediately turn them over to local law enforcement.
Special Agent Seeley Booth : Sherrif Roach knew about this?
Leo Sanders : No need to issue a warrant. We're cooperating completely.
Dr. Temperance Brennan : Was the girl also a student here?
Headmaster Ronson : Given your hostility, it's time we bring in a lawyer to advise us.
Special Agent Seeley Booth : Or you take my advice. If you don't answer my questions, I'll take you down to FBI headquarters in handcuffs.
Dr. Temperance Brennan : He'll do it. He doesn't like you.

[to Brennan]
Dr. Daniel Goodman : Shall I send for a philosopher?
Mickey Santana : Look, you're very experienced within your field, on bones and such, right? Doesn't your gut say "suicide"?

Dr. Temperance Brennan : Ambassador Olivos, you told me that all a mother wants is to know that she's raised her child well, that your biggest regret is that you'll never know if Nester would've grown up to be a good man. But he was a good man. He died because he was trying to do the right thing.

Special Agent Seeley Booth : Well, I'd like to declare it a murder just to shake those little...
