- Special Agent Seeley Booth: I brought Sweets along so he can sift through all the crazy asses at the loony bin, see if any of them are homicidal.
- Dr. Lance Sweets: I'm an excellent loony bin crazy ass sifter.
- Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan: [Observing how the suspect is following her movement from the interrogation room] I have to admit, it's eerie the way when I move, she follows me as though she knows exactly where I am.
- Dr. Adam Copeland: That's because she can see you.
- Special Agent Seeley Booth: It's a window, Bones. It's not a two way mirror.
- Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan: Oh.
- Arastoo Vaziri: [after Hodgins accidentally hits himself with nunchakus] As I was saying, nunchakus are deceptively difficult to maneuver, if you've had no practice... May I?
- [Hodgins hands him the nunchakus]
- Dr. Jack Hodgins: Okay. Knock yourself out. I did.
- Angela Montenegro: Turns out Neal's the only missing guy with horns. Heh. Go figure.
- Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan: Where was his last known residence?
- Arastoo Vaziri: I'm guessing Mr. Stephen King's basement.
- Dr. Adam Copeland: [to Bones] I've listened to you take shots at my profession. And that's okay. I'm a big boy, and tolerant man. I want you to think about something. I spend every working hour of everyday trying to help people who are living in hell. That's an honorable way to spend a life. Perhaps more honorable than figuring out what happened to dead people who are already beyond pain and suffering.
- Lloyd Robertson: You believe I didn't kill Neal, right?
- Special Agent Seeley Booth: Doesn't matter what I believe. Matters what I can prove.
- Dr. Camille Saroyan: I've been a coroner a long time. I've seen a lot of bad things.
- Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan: Define "bad things."
- Dr. Camille Saroyan: Murder, mayhem, torture, catastrophes, suicide. You know, the usual stuff. But *this* - this gave me a chill.
- Phillip Womack: Ours is a subjective profession that often marginalizes the importance of emperical data.
- Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan: It is refreshing to meet a psychiatrist with such a grounded perspective.
- Arastoo Vaziri: You know, I served as a translator in Iraq. Normal day, milk run to an outlying village about water and an IED took out our humvee.
- Dr. Camille Saroyan: Oh my God.
- Arastoo Vaziri: 2 dead, 3 wounded, and I was the only one left conscious. I'm a translator, I use words. But coming towards us with an AK-47 was an insurgent. He raised it, intending to finish us off.
- Dr. Camille Saroyan: And that was the devil?
- Arastoo Vaziri: No. No. I shot this man, in the heart. The devil, that evil I saw it in his eyes sure, but it was in me too, when I pulled that trigger.
- Dr. Camille Saroyan: You were defending your unit, Mr. Vaziri.
- Arastoo Vaziri: The man lay dead at my feet. I searched his body for identification, and I found a picture of him with his little boy, and his wife laughing. A family. Tell me that the devil did not win on that day.
- Dr. Camille Saroyan: You didn't lose your faith. You pray 5 times a day.
- Arastoo Vaziri: I have to believe that Allah will show me how to live.
- Dr. Lance Sweets: [while looking at Neviah's painting] Oh, okay. Wow. That's, uh... I'm gonna need another word for fascinating.
- Special Agent Seeley Booth: Creepy?
- Special Agent Seeley Booth: You know what if feels like to get your faith back?
- Dr. Temperance Brennan: When I see effects and I'm unable to discern the cause, my faith in reason and consequence is shaken.
- Special Agent Seeley Booth: And then what happens?
- Dr. Temperance Brennan: ...Two plus two equals four; I put sugar in my coffee and it tastes sweet; the sun comes up because the world turns. These things are beautiful to me. There are mysteries I will never understand... But, everywhere I look, I see proof that for every effect, there is a corresponding cause, even if I can't see it. I find that reassuring.
- Special Agent Seeley Booth: And life is good again.
- Dr. Temperance Brennan: [laughs] Life is very good.
- Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan: Notice how I'm not tailgating? Adaptive cruise control.
- Special Agent Seeley Booth: Mm-hmm. Well, right now I'm more worried about a safe distance between you and me.
- Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan: Why?
- Special Agent Seeley Booth: Why? Because we're going to a church and you tend to get blasphemous in churches.
- Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan: What, you're afraid that if God smites me with lightning you could get hit?
- Special Agent Seeley Booth: Yeah, I'm usually standing right beside you.
- Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan: The Greek god Zeus also used lightning to incinerate his enemies. Although... Zeus apparently had better aim than your god.
- Special Agent Seeley Booth: Exactly. Stuff like that. Just don't say... stuff like that. Alright?
- Dr. Adam Copeland: Staff. I'm good with that. Patients. These are damaged people, Agent Booth. Their hold on reality is tenuous.
- Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan: Well, that's why we brought our own psychologist.
- Dr. Adam Copeland: *You're* Dr. Sweets?
- Dr. Lance Sweets: Mm-hmmm.
- Dr. Adam Copeland: You sounded more experienced on the phone.
- [Booth chuckles]
- Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan: [re: Philip] He's a patient?
- Dr. Adam Copeland: For almost 6 years now, believe it or not he came a long way before plateauing with this delusion.
- Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan: I thought we had quite a lot in common.
