Josh Parsons : Please I didn't kill anyone. I'm an extreme pacifist.

Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan : No. I can wait... I trust you.

Angela Montenegro : [Looking through a DARPA file] There's no photograph in here.
Special Agent Seeley Booth : DARPA doesn't give out any photos. You give me the reconstruction though, I can show them that and they can tell us if we got their guy. So... what do you have?
Angela Montenegro : [She exchanges a look with Brennan] Okay. Before you... freak out, you should know that I double and triple checked the measurements and indicators.
Special Agent Seeley Booth : [Insulted] Okay, I don't freak out.

Special Agent Seeley Booth : Do I freak out?

Dr. Jack Hodgins : DARPA created a chicken soldier?
Wendell Bray : I do not see the United States military making chicken soldiers. Eagle, maybe.
Dr. Jack Hodgins : That's why we couldn't find his so-called fingers. Cuz they were transformed into talons.
[Makes claw like motions with his hands]
Dr. Jack Hodgins : I mean, talons would be much better weapons.
[Wendell makes talon like gestures with his hands]
Dr. Camille Saroyan : Human remains in water tend to lose all their fingers and toes due to predation.
Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan : If I were going to combine animal and human DNA with an eye toward creating a super soldier, I'd go with a flatworm.
Wendell Bray : Why?
Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan : Self regeneration. Obviously.
Dr. Camille Saroyan : Let's break this down as though we aren't in a comic book.

Temperance Brennan : These people don't seem to like the way you treat the chickens.
Seeley Booth : So how do you treat your chickens?
John Collins : Like delicious birds that people love to eat.
