David Boreanaz: Seeley Booth

The Woman in Limbo

Seeley Booth

Angela Montenegro: [Angela and Brennan are standing on the catwalk above the lab] Look, you finally got to slap Russ. You've been wanting to do that for years.
[Angela and Brennan chuckle]
Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan: I worshipped him, you know. God, he was so cool. Everyone knew I was Russ Brennan's little sister. I wasn't cool or pretty, so being his sister... You know that game Marco Polo? I'd be sitting in class, and I'd hear out the window, "Marco!"
[laughs]
Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan: It'd be Russ checking in on me... and letting everyone know that I was his little sister.
Angela Montenegro: Did you "Polo?"
Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan: Yeah, sometimes it'd be the only word I said all day - "Polo." And then Mom and Dad disappeared, and Russ took off. Suddenly, no one cared where I was. I miss that. Someone caring where I am all the time.
Special Agent Seeley Booth: [Downstairs on the lab floor] Bones! Bones! You up there? Come on. Let's go, huh. Chop-chop.
[Brennan looks at Angela and rolls her eyes, oblivious to the fact that Booth cares where she is all the time]

Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan: The NCIC database? That's... that's criminals! My parents were on a list of federal offenders?
Russ Brennan: How do you like that? Guess a criminal nature runs in the family.
Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan: [holding up a picture of her brother] You were seven years old, Russ. Old enough to remember. What... what is your real name? What is *my* real name?
Special Agent Seeley Booth: Bones, it's right here in the file.
Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan: [turning to Booth] No! *No!* I want *him* to tell me!
[exhales, and faces Russ]
Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan: What is my real name, Russ?
Russ Brennan: [long pause] My name was Kyle. Your name was Joy.
Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan: *You* are not my brother!
[slaps Russ]
Special Agent Seeley Booth: Bones!
Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan: No! He lied about that! What else are you lying about? What else are you not telling us?
[angrily walks off]

Special Agent Seeley Booth: Any of you see Bones? Okay, we're due in court like - hello! - *now*. What?
Angela Montenegro: This...
[activates hologram showing an image]
Angela Montenegro: ...totally freaked her out.
Zack Addy: [Booth starts dialing on his cell phone] My theory: caffeine intolerance.
Special Agent Seeley Booth: [speaking into his phone] Yeah. You're gonna want to take Dr. Brennan off the witness list today... No. She can't make it into court. Thanks.
Angela Montenegro: All right. What's going on?
Special Agent Seeley Booth: That... is Christine Brennan.
Dr. Daniel Goodman: Good God.
Special Agent Seeley Booth: You just found Bones' mother.

Special Agent Seeley Booth: [McVicar's in custody wants to talk to Bones] You got two ways to look at this. One is, you score a private chat. The second one is, you attack her, and I'll drill you through the forehead.
Vince McVicar: How can I possibly attack her?
Special Agent Seeley Booth: I'll decide what is and *isn't* an attack- like say, a hiccup.

Special Agent Seeley Booth: The weapons that McVicar had on him, they're a violation of his agreement with the Witness Protection Program. I'm gonna take him into custody. I'm gonna get a warrant. I'm gonna search his farm.
Russ Brennan: Search for what?
Special Agent Seeley Booth: McVicar liked to bash in people's heads. Maybe we'll get lucky and match the weapon he used on your mother.
Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan: It's unlikely.
Special Agent Seeley Booth: In that case, we'll still ruin his day.

Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan: [shaken] My name is Brennan. I'm Dr.-Dr. Temperance Brennan. I work at the Jeffersonian Institution. I'm a forensic anthropologist. I specialize in identif...
[starts to cry]
Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan: in identifying-in identifying people when nobody knows who they are. My father was science teacher. My mother was a bookkeeper. My brother- I have a brother. I'm Dr. Temperance Brennan.
Special Agent Seeley Booth: I know who you are. Hey, I know. It's ok. I know.
[Booth holds Bones as she starts to sob]

[last lines]
Matt Brennan: Temperance, you have to stop looking. You have to stop looking for me right now. This is bigger and worse than you know. Please, stop now.
Special Agent Seeley Booth: Who's that?
Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan: That was my father.
