Brian Klugman: Dr. Oliver Wells

Quotes 

• Dr. Camille Saroyan : [Some parts of the victim's remains fell upon her]  Ah, uhm, can someone please retrieve this piece of evidence, so it's not compromised?

  Dr. Jack Hodgins : [Grabs the camera]  Yeah, in a second. I just got to get a picture of this for the Christmas party

  Dr. Camille Saroyan : Seriously?

  Dr. Oliver Wells : Smile

  Dr. Jack Hodgins : Just one second

• Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan : The parabolic dental arch indicates the victim was Caucasian, while the lag of sub pubic concavity suggest male. Age will be a bit more difficult

  Dr. Oliver Wells : I got age. Slightly coarse granularity of the auricular surfaces puts him mid to late 20s. Piece of cake

  Dr. Camille Saroyan : This is not a competition, Oliver

  Dr. Oliver Wells : You are delightfully naïve

• Dr. Oliver Wells : I finished reconstructing the victim's skull and, of course, found exactly what we were looking for

  Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan : Comminuted fracturing. The damages to the frontal bone would have resulted in severe cerebral contusions

  Dr. Oliver Wells : Meaning I found cause of death. Not too bad, huh?

  Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan : You were merely following instructions given to you

  Dr. Oliver Wells : So that's how you want to play it? Okay. Not a problem, because this well runs deep! Very, very deep

  Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan : Dr. Wells, I often find you to be a real pain in my ass

  Dr. Oliver Wells : Wow! If I wasn't so shocked, I might be offended

  Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan : The occasional curse word can serve as a healthy form of non-violent retribution

  Dr. Oliver Wells : So, you swore to stop yourself from hitting me?

  Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan : Given your personality, I'd imagine you're quite used to that

• Dr. Camille Saroyan : I'm calling it a night, Dr. Wells. We can come back and hit it fresh in the morning

  Dr. Oliver Wells : Dr. Brennan already cursed me out. I'm not leaving until I find something that impresses the crap out of her tomorrow morning

  Dr. Camille Saroyan : Dr. Brennan cursed you out?

  Dr. Oliver Wells : She said I was a pain in her ass! Not a pain "in the ass", a pain "in her ass", specifically her ass

  Dr. Camille Saroyan : [More to herself]  Way to go, Dr. Brennan

• Dr. Jack Hodgins : So, then this isn't the murder weapon

  Dr. Oliver Wells : Which means I still have a change to take down Dr. Brennan

  Dr. Jack Hodgins : Okay, look, I like a good underdog story as much as the next guy, but my money is on Dr. B

  Dr. Oliver Wells : What the hell, Hodgins? I thought we were, you know, beard buddies?

  Dr. Jack Hodgins : Sorry, dude, but I have worked with this woman for over 10 years and I have never, not once ever, see anyone better. And, as for the beards, when I look to you, I felt like I'm looking in a mirror and I have a hangover. You might want to, you know, clean up a bit there

  Dr. Oliver Wells : I'm gonna remember this conversation when I'm the one running this thing and you are looking for a job

  Dr. Jack Hodgins : In the world where that scenario exists, I won't need a job, because I will be the power forward of the Lakers

• Dr. Oliver Wells : Which means, I still have a change to bring this case home. Oh, you are swearing in your head right now, aren't you?

  Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan : I believe the phrase is "like a naval seaman"

  Dr. Oliver Wells : I believe it's "like a sailor"

  Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan : That's what I said

• Dr. Oliver Wells : Dr. Brennan, when you first started, how many hours were you pulling?

  Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan : Before I had a family, I was in the lab anywhere from 10 to 15 hours a day, including weekends. Why do you ask?

  Dr. Oliver Wells : Because one day I plan on surpassing you as the world's foremost forensic anthropologist

  Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan : I applaud your ambition, Dr. Wells, but being the best in your field requires more than the accumulation of hours

  Dr. Oliver Wells : Well, I'm also a genius with a 160 IQ, so I think I'm okay

  Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan : Perhaps, but I'd temper yourself. The likelihood of you being as good as I am is very remote

  Dr. Oliver Wells : Oh no, not "as good as", "better than"

  Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan : I believe the expression is: "bring it on over", Dr. Wells

  Dr. Oliver Wells : No, the expression is: "bring it on". There is no "over". But, okay
