Episode Quotes

Special Agent Seeley Booth: [to Angela who just said something scientific] I mean you look normal. You act normal. But you're actually one of them.
Angela Montenegro: This whole mass-recognition program was Brennan's idea. I'm completely normal, really.
Special Agent Seeley Booth: Yeah. Maybe before you got this job. But now...

Special Agent Seeley Booth: How's it going there, Darth? Seen anything on Saturn?

Special Agent Seeley Booth: Please tell me you've seen at least one "Star Wars" movie.

Dr. Daniel Goodman: That is not a tuxedo, Dr. Hodgins.
Dr. Jack Hodgins: I am not going, Dr. Goodman.
Dr. Daniel Goodman: You are going.

Dr. Daniel Goodman: When we arrive, the donors will all be wearing name tags.
Zack Addy: What do we talk about?
Dr. Daniel Goodman: Your work, of course.
Angela Montenegro: Zack's work consists of removing flesh from corpses. Hodgins dissects bugs that have been eating people's eyeballs.
Dr. Jack Hodgins: Leave me out of it - I am not going.
Dr. Daniel Goodman: And how do you see your job?
Angela Montenegro: [sighs] I draw death masks.
Dr. Daniel Goodman: Is that really how you see it?
Angela Montenegro: Don't you?
Dr. Daniel Goodman: You are the best of us, Miss Montenegro. You discern humanity in the wreck of a ruined human body. You give victims back their faces, their identities. You remind us all of why we're here in the first place - because we treasure human life.

Dr. Daniel Goodman: Oh, for God's sake.
Dr. Temperance Brennan: What happened?
Zack Addy: Apparently all Angela needed was to hear her job description in a deep African-American tone.

Mistakes/Goofs

Goof (errors made by characters, possibly deliberate errors by the filmmakers): Angela describes a video image as "640 by 480 pixels per square inch". In reality, the image would be 640 by 480 pixels; "per square inch" is incorrect. (Pixels per inch would vary depending on the device being used to view the image.)

Trivia

At the beginning of the episode, Booth talks about the FBI agent in Bones' book who is named 'Andy Lister'; in Kathy Reichs' books the homicide detective is called 'Andrew Ryan'.
Angela, talking to Hodgins, mentions that he's annoyed by the government, "a conspiracy of dunces". She may be referring to 'A Confederacy of Dunces', a novel by John Kennedy Toole, published in 1980.
