Episode Quotes
Brennan: You really are as good as you said, you should try a blindfold.
Booth: Says the half-blind woman.

Cam: Is it me, or does she seem a little too into this?
Sweets: Well, there is of course a sexual component to an act of this sort, the knife representing the --
Cam: We get it.

Booth: There is no act! There's just me trying not to kill you.

Vincent: On a standard keyboard, there are over 3,000 words that can be touch-typed with the left hand alone.
Cam: It's not typed. It's hand-written.
Angela: How many can be typed with the right hand?
Vincent: 450. Thank you, ever so much for asking me.
Cam: Please, don't encourage him.

Hodgins: I found particulates of magnesium carbonate on both girls. (to Vincent) Do you have any, fascinating trivia on that subject?
Vincent: One man's trivia is another man's wisdom.

Angela: Guys, hello! IDing them is not going to be a problem. How many sets of conjoined twins can there be?
Vincent: Um, over the last 500 years approximately 600 sets, over 70% women.
Cam: I did not expect him to know that.

Bones: What's with the mustache?
Booth: What? I thought it would add a nice Russian flair.
Bones: It looks like a small animal.

Booth: Alright a little help there. Phone's ringing, I'm kinda busy!
Brennan: Oh, okay. (digs in his pants for the phone) So can we talk about our act? We need costumes.
Booth: No, we don't need the Russian costumes alright? We're dropping the act.
Brennan: What? You can throw knives I thought!
Booth: Yeah, I know I can, but we caught the bad guy alright? We don't need to go undercover. What're you doing, digging for loose change?
