[Bones QotW] The Blonde in the Game

[icewolf]

Okay, here's the deal. Way back when, every Wednesday I would send out email to a select group of friends and family, offering "Quotes of the Week" and commentary on the current episode of West Wing. I'm feeling moved to try it again with several shows: namely, Studio 60, House, and Bones.



"She broke his wrist."
"He touched me with his creepy serial-killer hands!"
-Special Agent Seeley Booth & Dr. Temperence Brennan

"Are you on some kind of medication?" -Tempe

"I'm not one of those crazy women who falls in love with death row killers."
"Yes, you obviously are."
-Tempe & Carolyn Epps

"She's not your type. Not young, not blonde--
"--not dead--"
"Shut up."
- Booth & Tempe

"Booth thinks we should get together and get Brennan a pet." -Dr. Jack Hodgins

"It means... oh, God."
"What?"
"It means I have to go talk to a nun."
-Booth & Tempe

I have to say I'm really pleased to see the writing improving.

"Where's the siren?"
"Don't touch!"
-Tempe & Booth

"She's an innocent child."
"She's a young woman, and there's no such thing as an innocent woman."
-Tempe & Howard Epps

"Ang, what kind of boyfriends have you had?"
"Let's keep the focus on you and Epps."
-Tempe & Angela Montenegro

"Unlike you and Bones, [Angela's] better with the living than the dead." -Booth

"...maybe if I dyed my hair..." -Carolyn

"All I ask is that when this hits the press, nobody uses the word disgruntled." -Random Post Office Official

"Look, dog, if you don't simmer down RIGHT NOW I will SHOOT YOU IN THE HEAD."
"*whine*"
-Booth & the doberman

"I have a process!" -Hodgins

I like the increased use of Angela, but they need to use this carefully, lest they turn her into a Mary Sue.

"I didn't even have to ask." -Tempe

Yikes. The writing's really gotten good. This is one hell of a plot twist.

"He beat us?" -Tempe

"When you kill someone, there's a cost. A steep cost." -Booth
