Episode Quotes
(after the magnetic draw pulls Booth's gun away from him)
Booth: I won’t say anything about the scream if you don’t say anything about the gun.
Brennan: Those terms seem satisfactory.

Brennan: These remains are not extraterrestrial. (The X-Files theme starts playing) It's a cell phone.
Booth: You hope.

Booth: Come on Bones, you don't believe that there are other real life forms out there?
Bones: Well the probability is very high, but any alien visiting this planet would have sufficient intelligence not to die in the middle of the desert.
