Dr. Temperance Brennan : Are Rangers afraid of SEALs?
Special Agent Seeley Booth : What? Come on, Bones. No.
Special Agent Seeley Booth : Rangers aren't afraid of anybody. All right?
Special Agent Seeley Booth : SEALs are pretty good though.
-
Angela Montenegro : You think it's a pirate?
Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan : It's a 300-year-old finger from the left-hand of a male. That's *all* I'm sure of so far.
Angela Montenegro : Worth killing for?
Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan : I worked a case once where a woman was killed, dismembered and burned because her friend thought she'd taken her favorite pair of slippers.
-
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.
-
Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan : [Looking at the bones, allegedly those of a pirate, on the computer screen] Maybe they're right. Maybe this man died burying a treasure. Ironic. Stealing all that and never enjoying the spoils.
Angela Montenegro : So you believe there's treasure?
Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan : I believe there's greed. That's the real curse.
-
Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan : Archaeologists are scientists who use evidence on which to base their explorations ... not some pirate movie they saw when they were ten.

Branson Rose : It's simple. You have something that belongs to me, and I'm not leaving here without it.
Special Agent Seeley Booth : [leaning against Goodman's desk, unimpressed with Rose's blustering] A day ago, you couldn't wait to leave, pull out of the island, cut your losses. You remember that?
Branson Rose : A lot can change in a day.
Special Agent Seeley Booth : [acerbically] Yeah. For Ted Macy, a lot changed.
Branson Rose : Look, I'm sorry about Ted. But I'll be damned if the federal government swoops in here at the eleventh hour and steals what I've been trying to find for two years.
Dr. Daniel Goodman : [calmly, from his seated place behind his desk] I fail to see what this has to do with the Jeffersonian.
Branson Rose : [firmly] Those bones belong to me. They were uncovered at my site. I was granted a permit to dig there and keep what was found.
[Goodman takes a measured breath but says nothing]
Branson Rose : My attorneys assure me you have no claim to those bones.
Special Agent Seeley Booth : [laughter in his voice] Oh sure, man, your attorney wants to go to court for the next twenty years and buy himself a nice vacation home in Tuscany.
[turning serious]
Special Agent Seeley Booth : But the fact is when Ted Macy was murdered, your property became our evidence.
Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan : And it's going to stay that way until we find the killer.
Branson Rose : [chuckles sardonically] I was hoping to settle this amicably.
[Rose turns to leave]
Branson Rose : [sarcastic] Really. Because, you know, we haven't seen that yet
