- Temperance Brennan: Are you aware that turkeys do a dance when they are reunited with a person they recognize?
- Seeley Booth: Dance? That's great, Bones, but I guarantee you that they don't dance as good as they taste.
- Temperance Brennan: Everyone here is invited to Thanksgiving dinner
- Seeley Booth: Oh, wow, that is a nice segue there, Bones.
- Temperance Brennan: It seemed appropriate. Human and turkey tissue share remarkably similar texture.
- Temperance Brennan: I am not Christmas shopping, and if I were, I assure you, I would not be buying you a jet ski so you could kill yourself riding around like a 16-year-old
- Seeley Booth: Well, it would make your husband very happy. Like a kid on Christmas morning
- Temperance Brennan: No. Hank and Christine will be like kids on Christmas morning. You will be like a grown-up or as grown-up as you can be
- Seeley Booth: You've been all about secrets this week
- Temperance Brennan: Some secrets are good secrets
- Temperance Brennan: Also, the two of you have seats behind the glass for the Flyers/Predators game on Friday night.
- Seeley Booth: Seriously?
- Temperance Brennan: That's what I was on the phone about this morning
- Seeley Booth: Okay, some secrets I like.
- Seeley Booth: I suppose you're gonna broadcast everything that's in this to blow the roof off the NSA.
- Jack Hodgins: No, I'm gonna give it to you. I don't think I'm qualified to decide the right thing to do with that. If anyone is... it's you.
- Seeley Booth: You really trust me to know what to do with this?
- Jack Hodgins: Yeah, I do
- Seeley Booth: Destroy it, so nobody else gets hurt.
- Seeley Booth: God definitely didn't give you the lying gene.
- Temperance Brennan: Well, mendacity is not God-given. It is coded into our genetics and passed down in our gene pool to ensure Homo sapiens' survival.
- Seeley Booth: Okay, stop. The whole mumbo jumbo language that you're giving me right now is not gonna distract from the fact that you're lying to me.
- Temperance Brennan: I was thinking maybe we shouldn't have turkey this Thanksgiving.
- Seeley Booth: What? What, what, now you're trying to, what, incite a fight to try to distract me?
- Temperance Brennan: [On the phone] Okay. Do you understand I don't want him to know, it's a secret, but I just want to make sure that you can...
- [notices Booth coming in]
- Temperance Brennan: do that thing that we talked about... Okay... I'll call you later. Thanks
- [Hangs up]
- Temperance Brennan: It's a telemarketer
- Seeley Booth: Oh. You're gonna call 'em back?
- Temperance Brennan: Yeah, I don't want to be rude
- Seeley Booth: [On a golf course] Look, I didn't say it was a bad course. I just said the greens are like marble
- Temperance Brennan: The problem is you don't know how to read it: slope, velocity, a little bit of simple geometry...
- Seeley Booth: Hey, it shouldn't be that difficult, okay? I mean, you shouldn't be Aristotle to play a game
- James Aubrey: Am I allowed to talk or is that a members-only privilege?
- Temperance Brennan: Typically, caddies don't speak
- James Aubrey: Caddy? I'm not your caddie and golf isn't a game, it's a sport
- Seeley Booth: No, no, no! There's no defense, no defense in golf! No defense, no sport
- Temperance Brennan: What Booth means is that if I can beat him, it's no sport
- Camille Saroyan: Based on hypostasis, the closest we can estimate is that the body's been in the water about two to three weeks
- Jack Hodgins: Actually, I think we can do better that that! I would say that the body's been in there 2 weeks, 4 days, 7 hours and 12 minutes
- James Aubrey: And what bug gave you that precise a time of death?
- Jack Hodgins: Timexum horologium! Wristwatch
- Jack Hodgins: Our weapon was platinum sterling. That's very expensive, 99.5% silver
- Camille Saroyan: Wow, even murder doesn't come cheap these days
- Seeley Booth: [Walking into the newspaper office] Hey, it's kind of quiet for a major newspaper
- James Aubrey: Might have something to do with the fact that nobody reads the paper anymore
- Seeley Booth: What you're talking about? I do it every morning. I got a cup of Joe in the left hand, I got the paper in the right. I can feel the ink on my skin
- James Aubrey: Yeah, it's a mess
- Seeley Booth: Paper, ink, newsp... What? What are you talking about? It's tradition. You're not getting it
- James Aubrey: No, I get it: you're old
- Seeley Booth: Not old! It's a tradition. Stop!
- Jack Hodgins: So we don't know who killed her and now we don't know what killed her? This is great. We're moving backwards here
