Bones: The Santa in the Slush

Booth and Brennan are called to the scene when a body is found in a sewer. The team is shocked when all clues point to the victim being Santa himself and are even more miffed when the victim's legal name turns out to be Kris Kringle. While following the clues in order to find the man's killer, more evidence comes about that makes the team suspect that he's the real deal.

Episode Quotes
Booth: Som what do you say we just get back to our ... dead Santa here.
Brennan: He's not Santa, Booth. He's a dead man in a costume.
Cam: Well, the beard looks real, and he's pretty fat.
Brennan: Which doesn't make him Santa.
Cam: Well, let's not jump to conclusions.

Max: By the way, this is the best Christmas I have had in sixteen years.
Brennan: Me too.

Booth: When you get back, me and you will have our own Christmas, just the two of us.
Parker: Without Captain Fantastic?
Booth: You know, we shouldn't call Brent "Captain Fantastic" anymore.
Parker: Why? You do.
Booth: Well, I won't anymore.
Parker: Why? It's funny.

Caroline: Congratulations! I hear you have a suspect in the Santa slaying?
Booth: Yeah, well, it looks like the Easter Bunny has nothing to worry about.

Hodgins: Our victim was kicked by a reindeer.
Angela: Oh, get the hell outta here!
Zack: The sacrum.
Angela: Wait, wait, the evidence actually adds up to an old fat man, with a white beard, in a custom-made Santa suit, who smoked a clay pipe, and got kicked in the ass by a reindeer?

Parker: Are you gonna to be all alone at Christmas?
Booth: Me? Nah, I'm not gonna be alone ... gonna be with Bones and all of our friends.
Brennan: I'm going to Peru.
Booth: See we're all going to Peru.
Parker: You're having Christmas in Africa?
Brennan: No, actually Peru is --
Booth: -- in Africa, isn't that right Bones?

(after kissing Booth)
Brennan: Was that enough steamboats?
Caroline: (in awe) Plenty. A whole flotilla.
Booth: I don't know what that means but um ... Merry Christmas.

Caroline: You kiss Booth on the lips for no less than ... one steamboat, two steamboats -- five steamboats.
Brennan: That's blackmail.
Caroline: That's correct.
Brennan: That's unethical.
Caroline: That's the deal. Take it or leave it.



Cultural References
Brennan: Was that enough steamboats?
Caroline: Plenty. A whole flotilla.

A "flotilla" is a fleet of boats.
