- Quotes
Special Agent Seeley Booth: Nice hat, huh. Come on, I'll take you back to the lab.
Dr. Temperance Brennan: What happened with your RECO bust?
Special Agent Seeley Booth: [Looks at her] Nothing. Why?
[laughs shortly]
Special Agent Seeley Booth: Have you been talking to Cam?
Dr. Temperance Brennan: No. Did you do something wrong?
Special Agent Seeley Booth: [Defensively] "What do you mean?
Dr. Temperance Brennan: Well you didn't get the credit you deserved. What did you do?
Special Agent Seeley Booth: Life is not always about credit.
Dr. Temperance Brennan: Well, that's not what you said before. You said life was all about credit and that you were going to Hawaii and they were going to put you on a coin...
Special Agent Seeley Booth: Alright, let's just forget about, ok Bones? Forget about it.
[Walks away]
Dr. Temperance Brennan: Jared warned me that you tend to sabotage yourself.
Special Agent Seeley Booth: [Sarcastically] *Jared* said that?
Dr. Temperance Brennan: Mm-hmm. He said that you're afraid of success.
Special Agent Seeley Booth: [Angry] Hm. So basically, I'm a loser.
Dr. Temperance Brennan: No, he never said the word loser.
Special Agent Seeley Booth: [Walks up to her] Do you think I'm a loser? Like that guy in there? Some clown in some dumbass uniform who basically can't do anything better? Is *that* what you think?
Dr. Temperance Brennan: Well, anthropologically, males tend to rank themselves into a hierarchy. There is no shame in not being at the top of the hierarchy.
Special Agent Seeley Booth: [Furious] You're not answering the question, Bones. Answer *my* question.
[They stare at each other. Phone rings after a tense silence. He doesn't take his eyes off her and picks up his phone]
Special Agent Seeley Booth: Booth.

(plays during the function Jared takes Brennan to for their "date")
Brennan doesn't have that respect for Booth. That lingers in the entire series. Booth has ethics (although rather static), and Brennan has "logic". When dealing with "logic", humans do have a possibly predictable pattern, but she is oblivious. Later in the series, it gets worse.
For some unknown reason, in one of the last scenes, Booth is holding a shotgun (not his typical pistol) and pointing it at the sheriff who is holding onto a hostage. A shotgun would be loaded with 6+ pellets of buckshot that would rip both people apart. In addition, the cocking of a hammer is heard ... the shotgun has no external hammer to cock. Rather disappointing error in firearms which is par for the course. The sheriff's body was hit by multiple pellets ... while he was driving ... only his head would have been a target from the back windshield. Ridiculous.
And Brennan criticizing Booth for protecting his brother. Gynocentricism at its finest. Yes, of course, she is "logical".
