Quotes

add » (On Booth's trick to find out who pulled Maria off the ladder)
Brennan: I can’t believe that worked.
Booth: Ah, psychology Bones, it's a very powerful force.

(edit) Brennan: (worriedly) Are you mad at me?
Booth: No. But you know I could have gotten something back there if you hadn’t gotten all mushy on me.
Brennan: I was uncomfortable with…You always say I’m not a cop. You’re right. Especially in a situation like that.

(edit) Brennan: This is the stuff that Booth is good at, the murky ways of the human heart.

(edit) Hodgins: There was also evidence of genetic material from a Franklinia alatamaha on his shoe.
Booth: You’re kidding. I’m in shock! Frankie Alabama? You don’t say.
Brennan: Did you hear what I said about sarcasm? (edit) Hodgins: Look at this. The government bankrupts itself giving tax breaks to the rich so there’s no money left to help these people with job training, educational resources, health care.
Booth: Just look for a garden with the plant.
Hodgins: Unless they land a job working for minimum wage that hasn’t seen a hike in eight years.
Brennan: That’s for those who are here legally. The undocumented do a lot worse.
Hodgins: What is this? NPR radio, huh? What, are you two running for office? (edit)

Trivia

add »
During the episode The Girl with the Graft, Brennan stresses to the killer how dangerous bone dust can be for someone's health. Yet in this episode, she is cutting up bone with Zack, both of whom have masks on, but continues to cut, with bone dust obvious whilst Booth is standing over them without a mask. (edit) The last time Booth and Brennan talk to Jose in the hospital, you can hear someone cough in the background right after Jose says, "It's all for nothing." (edit) Here are the Forensic Definitions for this episode:
Adipocere - Grave wax, or adipocere, is a crumbly white, waxy substance that accumulates on those parts of the body that contain fat - the cheeks, breasts, abdomen and buttocks.
A Sternal Foramen – a hole in the breast bone. They form along lines of fusion of multiple centers of ossification and are the result of incomplete fusion. They have been misinterpreted as acquired lesions, usually gunshot wounds. (edit) When creating the reconstruction, Angela states that Senator Corman is 6'1". However, he is quite obviously shorter than Booth, who himself is 6'1". Also, it is stated that Logan is 5'10", but he is obviously taller than Senator Corman and around the same height as Booth. (edit) During the funeral, the man speaking refers to the victims as Maria Duarte and Augustin Duarte but the caption says Maria Vargas and Augustin Vargas.
