BRENNAN: It’s not just the case. I’m tired of all of it. I’m tired of dealing with murders and victims and sadness and pain.
BOOTH: Bones, it’s what we do. We catch the bad people and we make the world a better place.
BRENNAN: No Booth, that’s what you do… and somehow I got caught up into it.
BOOTH: Wait a second, hold on. You were dealing with dead people long before we got together.
BRENNAN: As a researcher, an anthropologist. That’s how I can make the world a better place.
BOOTH: And you do. C’mon, you make the world a great place.

Bones, 5x21 The Boy with the Answer

BOOTH: Come on, let’s just go back inside and have one more drink for the road. Come on, just one-
BRENNAN: No- I’m tired, Booth, I- I’m going to go home.
BOOTH: Alright, come on, let’s get you in the cab, I know; it’s-it’s been a long, long day. Hey, I’ll see you tomorrow, right?

BOOTH: You know what? Maybe you just need to take some time off. Go to a beach, lay in the sun.
BRENNAN: I might need more than a little time.
BOOTH: Don’t make any decisions about your future right now.
BRENNAN: I’m just saying-
BOOTH: You know when a dentist gives you anesthetic and tells you not to operate any heavy machinery or make any important decisions within 24 hours? This case was bigger than a root canal.

BRENNAN: I have the sense that everything’s changing, Booth.
BOOTH: Not everything. Look, we’re still partners. And Taffet, she’s- she’s put away. I mean, you’re feeling good about that, right?
BRENNAN: You almost died, Booth. That could happen again. What if next time I can’t get to you?
BOOTH: It’s not gonna happen again.
BRENNAN: I envy your ability to substitute optimism for reality.

MAX: I guess I’ll go home.
BRENNAN: A real bed is probably going to feel good.
MAX: I’m sorry that I, uh, that I doubted you.
BRENNAN: Sweets would say that, subconsciously, you wanted Booth to catch you so you and I wouldn’t have to be separated again.
MAX: Smart guy, that Sweets. I love you, honey.
BOOTH: Thanks for leaving me with the bill again. That’s nice of you.
MAX: It’s your fault, Booth. My wallet got stolen in jail. ‘Bye.

BOOTH: Alright, let’s raise our glasses here, to the Squints.
CAM: To Booth!
BRENNAN: And Caroline!
SWEETS: You know, I never doubted any of you, not for a minute.
BOOTH: Where’d you come from, huh?
HODGINS: Oh, come on.
BOOTH: Let’s not forget the happy couple!
BRENNAN: Yes! Best wishes for a successful blending of familial obligations, as well as monetary and property consolidation.
[Booth gives her a look]
BRENNAN: What?

JUDGE: In count one, the kidnapping of Terrence Gilroy, the jury finds the defendant, Heather Taffet, guilty.
[everyone cheers]
JUDGE: Order! Or I will clear the court. In count two, the murder of Terrence Gilroy, the jury finds the defendant…guilty.
[everyone cheers once more]
TAFFET: This isn’t over.

BRENNAN: This isn’t another pregnancy scare, is it?
ANGELA: No. No, this is- this is love.
[Brennan and Booth share a look]
SWEETS: So, why were you hiding this from us?
HODGINS: I was having trouble dealing with things because of the trial, but then I thought, screw it.

Bones - 5x21: The Boy With the Answer

BOOTH: You know what, Hodgins? Don’t you ever see the bright side in things?
HODGINS: You know what, Booth, you’re right. Because no matter what happens in there, I’ve got Angela.
ANGELA: Hodgins.
HODGINS: It’s okay. I don’t care, Angie. Taffet’s not going to make the rules anymore. I want our friends to know. I want everybody to know. …Angela and I are married.
[everyone is surprised and happy]
BRENNAN: When, Ange?
ANGELA: In jail. Hodgins wanted to wait until this was over so everybody could be happy for us.

TAFFET: Objection! The jury makes that determination, not the witness.
BRENNAN: A five foot four assailant crushed the boy’s chest, choked him, and finally caused him a torturous death by burying him alive.
TAFFET: Objection! Speculation! She can’t know what the witness felt.
BRENNAN: I was buried alive. Which makes me uniquely qualified to comment on its horror.

BRENNAN: I have a video presentation which shows the victim sustained rib fractures as well as a fracture of the latter epicondyle of the left dystal-
BOOTH: What do you say we ease up on the scientific stuff, okay?
BRENNAN: The science gives us the height of 162 centimeters. Taffet’s height.
BOOTH: That’s- that’s good and all, but Taffet’s kind of had a field day, you know, trashing the whole technical gooblegeek stuff. And the jury seems to like her for it.
BRENNAN: But those are the facts.
BOOTH: It’s- it’s how you present the facts that win or lose a case. The jury needs to know what that little boy went through.
BRENNAN: I- I have testified before, Booth. I’ll be fine. We- we should go.
BOOTH: Okay.

TAFFET: That was very impressive, Ms. Montenegro. Could you share your credentials with the court?
ANGELA: I have a bachelor of fine arts from the University of Texas, with a minor in computer science, and I’ve also studied biomedical illustration at American University.
TAFFET: But you do not have a degree in sound engineering, is that correct?
ANGELA: No.
CAROLINE: Objection! Ms. Montenegro has numerous patents pending from her work in auditory forensic reconstruction.
TAFFET: The homeless man on my street has a patent pending for a time machine. That doesn’t mean I’m going to ask him to testify in court.
JUDGE: That’s enough, Ms. Taffet. Do you have anything else for this witness?
TAFFET: Yes, your Honor. I’d like to introduce into evidence Item 461b, which is a deconstruction of the same ransom tape by former FBI special agent Graham Steele, who has a PhD in auditory analysis form the University of Pennsylvania.
[Taffet plays the tape; Angela’s voice is now saying the ransom note]
ANGELA: That- that isn’t me. He obviously manipulated the pitch and the timbre of the voice.
TAFFET: Isn’t that what you did?
ANGELA: No. Those sound waves have an underlying pattern of frequency modulation. Like a fingerprint.
TAFFET: Whatever the technical jargon, it seems clear that anyone, even someone without any credence can make one voice sound like another.
CAROLINE: Objection! Counsel is making speeches.
JUDGE: Sustained.
TAFFET: No further questions.

BRENNAN: He tried to kill her?
BOOTH: Well, he had a riffle pointed right at her, so you do the math.
BRENNAN: Why? Why would he do that?
BOOTH: To protect you. And a career criminal like Max, he obviously doesn’t trust the legal system.
BRENNAN: I’m sorry, Booth. I wish he were different.
BOOTH: Yeah, me too. You know, he socked me in the eye!
BRENNAN: Brennan.
MAX: I need you to bail me out.
BRENNAN: What? No, dad.
MAX: I was doing it for you.
BRENNAN: I don’t want you to kill people for me. Just buy me a sweater like a regular dad.
BOOTH: Leave her alone, Max.
BRENNAN: Booth says you’re not getting out until after the trial is over. I have to go.
MAX: I have a bad back; you know what the beds are like in jail.
BRENNAN: Goodbye, dad.

BOOTH: Max! You didn’t think I was going to follow you?
[Booth tackles Max]
BOOTH: Max, is this what you want?
MAX: Don’t trust the system, Booth.
BOOTH: You miss, you compromise the case, Taffet walks.
MAX: I don’t miss.
BOOTH: When are you going to learn to stop messing with me, huh?
MAX: You’re making a big mistake; Tempe could die!

CAM: …I’m worried, Dr. Sweets. I- I- This case is taking it’s toll, on everyone.
SWEETS: Including you?
CAM: Including me, yes.
SWEETS: It’s a very stressful, I mean, you’re not immune to that.
CAM: I feel like everything’s fraying around the edges. We’re all searching for some piece of evidence that can put Taffet away, but we keep coming up empty; everyone feels manipulated by her, and I- I should be able to pull everyone together, keep them on track.
SWEETS: You want to guarantee the outcome. …I wish that were possible. But, you know, we knew this was going to be an uphill battle.
CAM: But did we really believe that? We all knew she was guilty. So, someplace, we assumed that in a just world she’d pay for what she did.
SWEETS: That assumes a just world, I’m afraid.
CAM: These…are my people she hurt. My friends. I should…be able to do something.
SWEETS: I know.
