- Special Agent Seeley Booth: I got something for you.
- Dr. Temperance Brennan: A bottle of hard liquor?
- Special Agent Seeley Booth: Next best thing.
- [Booth takes a small pig figurine out of his pocket, puts it in the palm of his hand, and moves very close to Brennan]
- Special Agent Seeley Booth: Meet Jasper.
- [Both smiling, Brennan takes Jasper from Booth's hand and looks at it]
- Special Agent Seeley Booth: You're gonna be okay.
- Dr. Temperance Brennan: [looks at Booth, with tears in her eyes] Yeah?
- Special Agent Seeley Booth: Definitely.
- Special Agent Seeley Booth: Run her through the database, get an ID.
- Dr. Camille Saroyan: Why don't you just ask him?
- Special Agent Seeley Booth: Well because the last time Bones saw Epps, it got violent.
- Dr. Camille Saroyan: You'll be there to protect her.
- Special Agent Seeley Booth: She's not the one who needs protecting. Bones broke his wrist
- Dr. Temperance Brennan: [flashback to when Bones broke Epps's wrist] He touched me with his creepy serial killer hands.
- Dr. Camille Saroyan: Better not take Dr. Brennan.
- Dr. Jack Hodgins: Hi, Angela. You look *great* today.
- Angela Montenegro: Thanks, Hodgie. This is my boho, rocker, artist, mid-week, take-a-deep-breath-and-pout look.
- Dr. Temperance Brennan: "Hodgie?"
- Zack Addy: I had some thoughts. Perhaps the point isn't that German is a different language, but that it's actually a different language.
- Special Agent Seeley Booth: Great. Thanks, Zack, for being so helpful.
- Special Agent Seeley Booth: You ever have a dog, Bones?
- Dr. Temperance Brennan: I always wanted a pig.
- Special Agent Seeley Booth: A pig?
- Dr. Temperance Brennan: Very smart. And despite the popular misconception, very clean.
- Special Agent Seeley Booth: I prefer my pig with a little mint, a little honey glaze...
- Dr. Temperance Brennan: Not funny.
- Dr. Temperance Brennan: [referring to why she broke Howard Epps' wrist] He touched me with his creepy serial killer hands.
- Dr. Temperance Brennan: [Entering the suspect's house and finding a dog they encountered earlier] Oh great! Him again. I'll need a pinecone.
- Special Agent Seeley Booth: [advancing on the dog] Listen dog, I will shoot you in the head if you don't cut it out right now!
- [dog stops barking]
- Special Agent Seeley Booth: You know, if you had a pet pig, what would you name him?
- Dr. Temperance Brennan: Jasper.
- Special Agent Seeley Booth: Well unlike you and Bones, Angela is uh...
- Dr. Camille Saroyan: What?
- Special Agent Seeley Booth: She's better with the living that she is with the dead.
- Dr. Camille Saroyan: Fine. I'll go tell her what she just volunteered for.
- Special Agent Seeley Booth: Thanks.
- Dr. Temperance Brennan: You said you've dealt with manipulative men before.
- Angela Montenegro: Sweetie, this is a psycho killer, not some loser who wants you to co-sign a loan for his jet-ski.
- Howard Epps: Caroline's the best I could do in here.
- Special Agent Seeley Booth: Yeah, not your usual type, Howie. I mean, not young, not blonde.
- Dr. Temperance Brennan: Not dead.
- Special Agent Seeley Booth: Bones, could you please shut up?
- Dr. Temperance Brennan: [getting offended] Excuse me?
- Special Agent Seeley Booth: [to Epps] Is this why you duct-tape their mouths? Because *that* I understand.
- Howard Epps: [leans forward slight pause] That's the lamest attempt at bonding I've ever seen.
- Dr. Temperance Brennan: Are you on some kind of medication?
- Special Agent Seeley Booth: Bones.
- Caroline Epps: Dr. Brennan, I'm not one of those crazy women who falls in love with death row killers.
- Dr. Temperance Brennan: Obviously, that's exactly what you are.
- Special Agent Seeley Booth: [telling Brennan, since she wasn't in the interview, that at one point Epps was implying that when Brennan broke his wrist, he couldn't masturbate] He made the point that he really needed his wrist.
- Special Agent Seeley Booth: You know you're afraid that Epps turn you into him- into a killer. You have to come to grips the fact that you killed another human being. Because when you kill someone, you know, there's a cost. It's a steep cost. I know... I've done it.
- Dr. Temperance Brennan: I did the right thing.
- Special Agent Seeley Booth: I know. I was there.
- Angela Montenegro: For the record, I hate the guy who killed this girl and I hope to Hell he burns for all eternity.
- Dr. Temperance Brennan: For all your faults, Mr. Epps, you were never interested in letting your victims suffer. You didn't torture them. You're not that kind of man. She's an innocent child.
- Howard Epps: She's a young woman. And there's no such thing as an innocent woman. Look within yourself, you know I'm right.
