Pej Vahdat credited as playing...
Arastoo Vaziri
- 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.
- 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.
