- This is the last appearance of Russ Brennan.
I don't know what that means[]
- Booth: "OK. You're not Dr. Brennan today; you're Temperance".
Brennan: "I don't know what that means".
Quotes[]
- Max Keenan: Oh, he's a full-grown scientist?
- Clark Edison: I shave, sir. I have a driver's license. I've won a couple fist fights. I've saved a life. I've lain with women. I've been hustled at pool. I've defied my father's wishes. I have broken hearts and I have been heartbroken. So, by all the markers of this society, I am a grown man.
- Max Keenan: Oh. You've "lain with women"?
- Russ Brennan: Is he gonna talk like that at Dad's trial?
- Sweets (on the stand starting his testimony): I obtained my undergraduate psych degree from the University of Toronto, Masters Degree in Abnormal Psychology from Temple University and my Doctorates in Clinical Psychology and Behavioral Analysis at Columbia University.
Booth (whispering to Brennan): Doctorates? As in more than one?
Sweets: I won simultaneous Fulbright and Rhodes scholarships to write my book, "The Art of Evolutional Profiling"-
Brennan (whispering to Booth): More than one scholarship too. Sweets: Which is what brought me to my current posting at the FBI.
Booth (whispering to Brennan): No wonder Dr. Geeks can never hang on to a girlfriend.
Sweets: There I do partners therapy and psychological profiling.
Brennan (whispering to Booth): It's Dr. Sweets.
Booth (whispering to Brennan): I know, Bones. I was just saying..Dr. Geeks as in geeks.
Sweets: Do you require a list of my scholarly publications?
Barron: The defense stipulates that Dr. Sweets is a qualified expert witness, despite the fact that he looks like a high school volleyball player.
Booth (whispering to Brennan): Meet Dr. Geeks.
