- Special Agent Seeley Booth: [Brennan has been stabbed; a knife is sticking from her arm and is bleeding profusely] Bones! Bones, you alright?
- Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan: Yeah, I'm fine. I'm okay.
- Special Agent Seeley Booth: Bones, your arm.
- Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan: Oh God...
- Special Agent Seeley Booth: No, don't pull it out, don't touch it.
- [she pulls the knife out]
- Special Agent Seeley Booth: Bones... easy, I got you. I got you, it's okay. It's alright.
- Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan: He tried to kill me.
- Special Agent Seeley Booth: Okay. Alright.
- Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan: Thank you.
- Special Agent Seeley Booth: Alright, easy. Ambulance is on its way, okay?
- Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan: Gotta keep the pressure on the wound...
- Special Agent Seeley Booth: I got it. I got it, just relax. Just trust me, alright? I'll take care of you. Ssshhh, I got you. Breathe. I'll take care of you. I'm right here, I'm not going anywhere, I got you. I got you, baby.
- Special Agent Seeley Booth: All right, um. That place I went to. You know, in my coma dream, it was just - Bones and I were so real...
- Dr. Camille Saroyan: You're in love with Dr. Brennan.
- Avalon Harmonia: The world scares you. So you wrap it up neatly in bonds of reason, education and proof. All riddles are solvable to you, except for one.
- Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan: Yes. The riddle of how you knew where your sister was buried.
- Avalon Harmonia: No, the riddle you can't solve is how somebody can love you.
- Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan: [Chuckles] Well I'm beautiful and very intelligent.
- Avalon Harmonia: The answer to the question that you're afraid to say out loud is: yes. He knows the truth about you. And he is dazzled by that truth.
- Dr. Camille Saroyan: My advice for what it's worth. Forget the bruised brain and go with the lion heart.
- Special Agent Seeley Booth: Right. Right. Yeah, and uh, tell Bones how I feel.
- Dr. Camille Saroyan: Yes. *Except* be sure about your feelings. Because if you crack that shell, and you change your mind, she'll die of loneliness before she'll ever trust anyone again.
- Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan: [to Avalon Harmonia] Well, they gave me medication. So I feel how I imagine people of average intelligence feel, all the time.
- Avalon Harmonia: The man whose life you saved is really excited to see you again.
- Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan: No, I don't save lives. People are already dead when I get to them.
- Dr. Jack Hodgins: And that ladies, *that* is why they call me "King of the Lab."
- Angela Montenegro: Nobody does that but you.
- Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan: What did you want to tell me?
- Special Agent Seeley Booth: That I love you... In a professional, 'atta girl' kind of way.
- Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan: 'Atta girl' kind of way? Right back at'cha Booth. I love you too. 'Atta Boy.'
- Dr. Jack Hodgins: OH, I'm happy personally and professionally. You know unsolved murders have gone up a thousand percent since you left.
- Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan: I find that hard to believe.
- Dr. Jack Hodgins: Rough estimate. Welcome back!
- Special Agent Seeley Booth: I'm sorry, Ang. You know it's... my first case back. You know it's been a long day. Maybe I got something to prove. Sorry, you look - you look beautiful.
- [Angela chuckles and kisses him on the forehead]
- Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan: Oh. Would do you like *me* to kiss you on the forehead too?
- Special Agent Seeley Booth: Sure.
- [Bones chuckles and walks away]
- Dr. Lance Sweets: Now, I think you and I both know Dr. Brennan's hyper rationality is really just a cover for her vulnerable and sensitive core.
- Special Agent Seeley Booth: Oh great. So we're talking about Bones's brains too here.
- Dr. Lance Sweets: So if you breach those defenses and you don't really love her... Left you hard copies.
- Caroline Julian: You were there. You killed the bad guy dead. I know you hate that, but it always makes me a little glad. Does that make me a bad person?
- Special Agent Seeley Booth: Yes! We're back.
- Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan: You're the one who told me never to look happy at a crime scene.
- Special Agent Seeley Booth: Right. We'll look happy after we find out who did this horrible crime and get them behind bars.
- Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan: Right.
- Dr. Jack Hodgins: Isn't this great? Us, back together again. Chasing criminals.
- Angela Montenegro: Yeah. Pit full of mass murder victims. What's not to love.
- Avalon Harmonia: [to Booth] Let the neurosurgeons have your brain. They know about your brain. They don't know Jack about your heart!
- Caroline Julian: That's a lot of blood.
- Special Agent Seeley Booth: I'm fine. This is Bones's blood.
- Caroline Julian: That's supposed to be good?
- Special Agent Seeley Booth: She's fine. They fixed her and uh, sent her home.
- Caroline Julian: That was sneaky.
- Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan: Is sneaky good or bad?
- Caroline Julian: Good. If it holds up in the court.
- Dr. Camille Saroyan: Next time, make it look like you're taking advantage of the situation, not scripting it.
- Avalon Harmonia: The card say only your top layer is rational Underneath, you're as *crazy* as I am.
- [Avalon laughs]
- Avalon Harmonia: And that's a compliment.
- Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan: Doesn't sound like one.
