Episode Quotes
(about the possibility of Brennan driving instead of Booth)

Booth: I'm in the FBI. We always figure it out.
Booth: I do have a girlfriend ... but she's ugly.
Hodgins: Fight coercion in all it's forms. You don't write the book. I don't go to the banquet. Solidarity.
Hodgins: What I want to do is to come in here and sift through slime and bugs.
Dr. Goodman: When I said you should think of this invitation as a summons, I understated. It's a subpoena, a grand jury subpoena. Ingnore it at your own peril.
Dr. Goodman: These are invitations to a banquet.
Brennan: You called a special meeting to invite us to a party?
Dr. Goodman: Don't think of it as an invitation. Consider it a summons.
Hodgins: Zack has been informed that if he tells anyone who I am, I will kick him out on the street like a stray dog. Sadly, there's nothing I can threaten you two with.

Zack: It makes me look like the Great Gazoo.
Angela: Anger is only fear turned inwards.
Angela: What do you guys talk about when he drives you to work?

Booth: (about Hodgins) Paranoia and delusions of grandeur ... all in one package.
Booth: You're actually one of them, aren't you?
Angela: One of who?
Booth: A squint. I mean, you look normal and you act normal, but you're actually one of them.
Angela: This whole mass recognition program was Brennan's idea. I'm completely normal, really.
Booth: Yeah, maybe before you got this job.
Brennan: You're not going to fire us if we don't go?
Dr. Goodman: No, not fire you, but I can move your parking spot to Lot M. Enjoy the shuttle ride.
Zack: The shuttle smells like feet.
