Episode Quotes
Booth: (about the Amish) We reject Satan and they reject buttons.

Hodgins: Perry's a senior, isn't he? That might be why he's pressuring Michelle to have sex.
Angela: Why do you think he's pressuring her? Women want sex just as much as men.
Cam: Yeah, well, she's a child, she still has stuffed animals.
Angela: Well I did too at 16 ... and I also had Brian. All you can do is tell her to respect herself, and use protection.
Hodgins: During the Crusades, knights used to lock up their wives and daughters.
Cam: How helpful.
