The Rocker in the Rinse Cycle (2010)

John Francis Daley: Lance Sweets

Quotes 

• Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan : All we know is he was killed with his guitar.

  Dr. Lance Sweets : [Sweets groans]  With a '57 Gibson Les Paul? That's like whacking someone with the Mona Lisa.

• Dr. Lance Sweets : Okay. To a true fan, the fact that Richard Cole was playing the ultimate guitar would be sacrilegious. Profane, even. Fact that the killer put it back in Cole's room rather than destroy it further demonstrates his reverence for Rock-N-Roll.

  Special Agent Seeley Booth : So you're saying music is the motive?

  Dr. Lance Sweets : I know it's wrong, but I am liking our killer better than our victim.

• Dr. Lance Sweets : Well, everything you've learned about the victim, uh... indicates that he was only interested in the external signifiers of the rock and roll lifestyle. Correct?

  Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan : Yes. The clothes, the instruments, the groupers.

  Special Agent Seeley Booth : Groupies, Bones.

• Dr. Lance Sweets : I'm impressed.

  Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan : Well, you've known me for two years, Sweets. You should be used to being impressed by me.

• Dr. Lance Sweets : One quick question: bar fight who wins: Prince and the New Power Generation or Korn?

  Simon Graham : Never mess with Prince.
