Bones: A Man on Death Row

Howard Epps, a condemned man on death row, is scheduled for execution in 32 hours for the murder of a 17 year-old female. Epps' attorney goes to Booth, the man who arrested Epps, to reopen the case. Though Booth refuses to believe Epps is innocent, he does recall loose ends in the case and agrees to take another look at it before Epps is executed. When Booth asks Brennan for help, bone abnormalities lead Booth, Brennan and the team to race against the clock to find the real killer before it's too late.

Episode Quotes
Booth: Why do you want a gun?
Brennan: To shoot people.

Booth: Use your mutant powers to talk people to death.

Brennan: Maybe I shouldn't carry a gun after all.
Booth: No, you can have mine.

Judge Cohen: (in a bath robe) These are not the robes I like to wear to work, Ms. Morton.
Brennan: Sir, would you mind closing your dressing gown?
Judge Cohen: It's one in the morning. Deal with it.

Hodgins: (to Zack) You're the one with the photographic memory. I'm the one that's good with the ladies.

Angela: He's cuter than a monkey with a puppy.

Brennan: (while digging) Are you going to help me?
Booth: Are you kidding? This is a $1200 suit.

Hodgins: I demand another beetle. Jeff's got a groin pull.
Zack: Arthropods do not possess groins. Pay up.

Judge Cohen: Dr. Brennan, if those shadows turn out to be pieces of bone, I'd be extremely angry.
Brennan: Thank you, Judge Cohen.
Judge Cohen: For making a veiled threat?
Brennan: I thought you were threatening me because you had decided to sign the exhumation order.

Zack: Most recondite codes have a complex numerical cypher.
Hodgins: That's a fun factoid, Zack. Thank you.

Booth: I think there are doubts when it comes to an execution. There shouldn't be any doubts.
Prosecuter: He doesn't have doubts. He has cold feet.
Booth: Do you think I won't pop you one just because we're standing in the judge's kitchen?

Booth: Why does he need a driver?
Zack: I can't drive.
Booth: You're a genius who can't drive?
Zack: If you knew what I know about structural design, you wouldn't drive either.

Booth: I told them not to let you in this building. I gave them your picture.
Amy: Which is why I wore the tiny skirt.

Zack: I was out taking the pictures you needed and there was a sign and numbers on the ground and I thought, 'Why assume a quasi-randomly-generated, function-oriented paradigm?'

Brennan: I'll ask the others, but I won't order them. They might have plans.
Booth: It's Friday night and they're racing beetles.

Cullen: Got the squints involved. Well, if she shoots anybody this time, I sure hope the hell it's you.

(after seeing the decomposed body on the table)
Troy: Oh, God!
Angela: Don't look, sweetie.
Troy: You're not an artist. You're a freak. You're all freaks.
Angela: This job is so hard to describe online.

Hodgins: (Racing beetles with Zack) You want in on the action?
Angela: No, thank you. I'm going to go have sex.
Hodgins: Have a good time.
Zack: Yeah, okay.

(about not being allowed to carry a gun)
Booth: You have the right to appeal.
Brennan: To whom? Cullen? I'm pretty sure he doesn't like me.
Booth: I'm pretty sure you're right.

Amy: Amy Morton.
Brennan: Temperance Brennan.
Amy: You work with Booth?
Brennan: Yes. I'm a forensic anthropologist.
Amy: I'm a defense lawyer. I tend to work against Booth.
Booth: If it's all the same, I'd rather you two didn't bond in any way.
