Special Agent Seeley Booth Quotes
 | Season 2 / Episode 1: - The Titan on the Tracks Lisa Supac: [after advising Dr. Brennan and the rest of the team the Turko will only get 10 years for his involvement in the train crash] It's 10 years or nothing. I can only work with what I'm given, and the forensic work on this was not good enough. Dr. Temperance Brennan: What? Lisa Supac: You were fooled by fake dental records, you baked some spam. Dr. Camille Saroyan: What did you want us to do? Lisa Supac: Your jobs. Special Agent Seeley Booth: Hey! Dr. Camille Saroyan: No, Ms. Supek, you want us to do your job. My people gave you all the evidence you need to fry Turko with any reasonable jury. Lisa Supac: Forensically... Dr. Camille Saroyan: We gave you everything you needed to arrest Turko. Lisa Supac: Arrest is not a conviction. Dr. Camille Saroyan: We definitely gave you enough to reject his plea bargain and indict him in the wrongful death of a Senator. Lisa Supac: Indictment is not a conviction. Special Agent Seeley Booth: You accept that plea bargain and the investigation stops. Dr. Temperance Brennan: Indict him. Give us time to get you what you need. Dr. Camille Saroyan: If you accept this plea bargain, you don't deserve to be a Federal Prosecutor. Lisa Supac: Dr. Saroyan! Dr. Camille Saroyan: Yeah, it's scary. The whole country'll be watching the trial and you don't want to go in with less than a sure thing. But you put my people on the stand as expert witnesses and that's a sure thing. Dr. Temperance Brennan, Dr. Jack Hodgins, Angela Montenegro: [together] Not Zack. Dr. Camille Saroyan: You can tell the story of what happened using the evidence these people provided, and if you any ability as a prosecutor you'll win the case. Lisa Supac: Are you finished? Dr. Camille Saroyan: No, Ms. Supeck. In the future when you have problems with my team, you'll register them with me, in private, not by grand standing in a public forum. |
| Season 2 / Episode 1: - The Titan on the Tracks Dr. Temperance Brennan: Come on, Booth. The part of you with the big gambling problem must love this idea. Special Agent Seeley Booth: Right there. Mm-hm. That's the reason you didn't get Cam's job. |
| Season 2 / Episode 1: - The Titan on the Tracks Special Agent Seeley Booth: Been out to your mother's grave? Dr. Temperance Brennan: No. Why would I? Special Agent Seeley Booth: To connect. Dr. Temperance Brennan: She's dead, Booth. Dead, as in 'gone from this world'. Special Agent Seeley Booth: You know what? Fine. Forget it. Dr. Temperance Brennan: Excuse me. I'm curious. Do you talk to the headstone? I mean, what do you say? Special Agent Seeley Booth: It looks like I'm talking to the headstone, but what I'm really saying is--Forget where the words are directed. What I say is that I remember them. Dr. Temperance Brennan: They can't hear you, because they're dead. Special Agent Seeley Booth: My mouth moves, words come out, but none seem to get across the drawbridge to the princess I know who awaits within. |

Old enough to remember. What... what is your real name? What is *my* real name? Special Agent Seeley Booth: Bones, it's right here in the file. Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan: [turning to Booth] No! *No!* I want *him* to tell me! Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan: What is my real name, Russ? Russ Brennan: [long pause] My name was Kyle. Your name was Joy. Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan: *You* are not my brother! Special Agent Seeley Booth: Bones! Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan: No! He lied about that! What else are you lying about? What else are you not telling us? |
| Season 1 / Episode 22: - The Woman in Limbo Special Agent Seeley Booth: Any of you see Bones? Okay, we're due in court like - hello! - *now*. What? Angela Montenegro: This... Angela Montenegro: ...totally freaked her out. Zack Addy: [Booth starts dialing on his cell phone] My theory: caffeine intolerance. Special Agent Seeley Booth: [speaking into his phone] Yeah. You're gonna want to take Dr. Brennan off the witness list today... No. She can't make it into court. Thanks. Angela Montenegro: All right. What's going on?

| Season 1 / Episode 22: - The Woman in Limbo Special Agent Seeley Booth: [McVicar's in custody wants to talk to Bones] You got two ways to look at this. One is, you score a private chat.

| Season 1 / Episode 22: - The Woman in Limbo Special Agent Seeley Booth: The weapons that McVicar had on him, they're a violation of his agreement with the Witness Protection Program.

Maybe we'll get lucky and match the weapon he used on your mother. Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan: It's unlikely. Special Agent Seeley Booth: In that case, we'll still ruin his day. |
 | Season 1 / Episode 21: - The Soldier on the Grave Special Agent Seeley Booth: [after telling her about a mission] It's never just one person who dies, Bones. Never. Never. [pause.

| Season 1 / Episode 21: - The Soldier on the Grave Special Agent Seeley Booth: Why do you have to be so cynical? Dr. Temperance Brennan: I'm not cynical.

Special Agent Seeley Booth: Yeah, well, I always found being shot at is a motivating factor. |
 | Season 1 / Episode 20: - The Graft in the Girl Special Agent Seeley Booth: Today, Zac. I need something *today*! Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan: Hey, don't harass my assistant. Dr. Jack Hodgins: That's right. That's our job. |

Special Agent Seeley Booth: That's absolutely my intention, sir. |
| Season 1 / Episode 20: - The Graft in the Girl Special Agent Seeley Booth: So, is it him? Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan: It's him, but here's the kickster. Special Agent Seeley Booth: Kicker, Bones, here's the kicker. Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan: Oh. |
| Season 1 / Episode 20: - The Graft in the Girl Special Agent Seeley Booth: Bones, I know that you find dead people intriguing, but just... try to put on your sad face. |
| Season 1 / Episode 20: - The Graft in the Girl Special Agent Seeley Booth: [referencing Zack] How do you listen to this all day? Dr. Temperance Brennan: I find intelligence soothing. |
 | Season 1 / Episode 19: - The Man in the Morgue Special Agent Seeley Booth: Voodoo! Who's gonna believe that stuff? Dr. Temperance Brennan: It's a religion, no crazier than... well, what are you? Special Agent Seeley Booth: Catholic. Dr. Temperance Brennan: They believe in the same saints you do... in prayer... what they call spells, you call miracles... they have priests... Special Agent Seeley Booth: We don't make zombies. Dr. Temperance Brennan: Jesus rose from the dead in three days... Dr. Temperance Brennan: Brennan... Special Agent Seeley Booth: Jesus is not a zombie! |
| Season 1 / Episode 19: - The Man in the Morgue Special Agent Seeley Booth: Hey, easy on the Catholics, okay? Just... easy. |
| Season 1 / Episode 19: - The Man in the Morgue Special Agent Seeley Booth: Hey, Bones, hows about while you're a murder suspect you act more like a normal woman and less like Lily Munster, 'kay? |
| Season 1 / Episode 19: - The Man in the Morgue Dr. Temperance Brennan: How did I get away? Graham got killed, I got away. How did I do that? Special Agent Seeley Booth: You know, Bones, all those things that Caroline mentioned - the martial arts, the shooting, the assaults - you're just the type of woman that fights. You know? Maybe they didn't expect it, maybe they thought some kind of magic could hold you. Dr. Temperance Brennan: I don't believe in magic. Special Agent Seeley Booth: Exactly. You're a surprising woman, and that's sometimes enough to get away. Dr. Temperance Brennan: [smiling at Booth] Why are you nice to me? Special Agent Seeley Booth: Because. Because they think they get away with it. Dr. Temperance Brennan: What? Special Agent Seeley Booth: They burn their victim. They blow him up. They toss him in the ocean. They bury them in the desert. They throw 'em into wood chippers. Sometimes, you know, years go by. They relax. Then they start living their lives like they didn't do anything wrong. Like they didn't spend somebody else's life in order to get what they got. They think they're safe from retribution. You make those bastards unsafe. That's why I'm nice to you. Dr. Temperance Brennan: I couldn't do that without you, Booth. Special Agent Seeley Booth: Yeah. So, um, you should be a little nicer to me, huh? Dr. Temperance Brennan: I really should. |

| Season 1 / Episode 19: - The Man in the Morgue Special Agent Seeley Booth: Can I make a lifestyle suggestion? Dr. Temperance Brennan: Go ahead. Special Agent Seeley Booth: You know, vacation - it's from the Latin 'vacatio' and means, you know, freedom and release - you might want to consider that next time Dr. Temperance Brennan: Learning Latin? Special Agent Seeley Booth: is the opposite of vacation. I mean, no wonder you snapped, went insane and totally lost your mind. Dr. Temperance Brennan: Oh, thanks for your understanding. |
| Season 1 / Episode 19: - The Man in the Morgue Dr. Temperance Brennan: Booth, objects have no intrinsic power. A person's future does not depend on some thing. Things are just things. They do not have magical meaning or powers. [Booth reveals the missing earring] Where'd you get that? Special Agent Seeley Booth: What does it matter? It's just a thing. Right? [Booth hands her the earring] Dr. Temperance Brennan: My mother's earring. Special Agent Seeley Booth: No, uh... magical power over your future. [Booth gets up and leaves] Angela Montenegro: Does that prove something? Dr. Temperance Brennan: [looking at Earring] Yeah. [looking after Booth] It proves something. |
| Season 1 / Episode 19: - The Man in the Morgue Dr. Temperance Brennan: God, I'm hungry. Special Agent Seeley Booth: Well, when was the last time you ate? [Brennan rolls her eyes] Oh, my bad. You have amnesia. |
| Season 1 / Episode 19: - The Man in the Morgue Caroline Julian: I am doing you a favor taking this case, Booth. But as the lady cop says, I'm a prosecutor.

Special Agent Seeley Booth: [warningly] Bones... Caroline Julian: Fine. Stop me when I get something wrong. Trained in three types of martial arts, two assault charges, registered marksman with the NRA, hunting licenses in four states... Special Agent Seeley Booth: You hunt? Dr. Temperance Brennan: Only for food. Caroline Julian: Shot an unarmed man. Dr. Temperance Brennan: He was trying to set me on fire. Special Agent Seeley Booth: All right, just... just arrange bail for us, Caroline, so we can get out of here. Caroline Julian: Sure, sure. Don't want to get this one mad at me. Special Agent Seeley Booth: [whispers] You couldn't keep your mouth shut, could you? |
| Season 1 / Episode 19: - The Man in the Morgue Special Agent Seeley Booth: We don't make zombies. Dr. Temperance Brennan: But Jesus rose from the dead after three days. Special Agent Seeley Booth: Jesus is not a zombie, alright. Man, I shouldn't have to tell you that. |

 | Season 1 / Episode 18: - The Man With The Bone Special Agent Seeley Booth: [Walking along a hallway leading to the morgue] Welcome to the dungeon. Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan: Why the FBI always stick their morgues in the most depressing basement they can find? Special Agent Seeley Booth: Don't be such a snob Bones, ok? Not everyone gets to play in a multimillion dollar lab, you know... with skylights. Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan: It's because as a society we feel the need to hide death away. The people who deal with the death are viewed as freaks. |
