Hodgins: Dr. Brennan, are you sure you don’t want a chair? The way you’re squatting, I’m worried that little guy in there is just going to drop right out. / Brennan: Thank you, but my uterus and cervical plug are quite healthy. Also, I’m not having a boy … it’s a girl.
Brennan: Ultrasounds are poorly pixelated and in black and white – you only like movies that are in color. / Booth: I would have loved this movie. It would have been my favorite movie of all time.
Hodgins: Okay!  I’m sorry!  All right?  I was...an ass-hat. I am Thurston the ass-hat!  There!  Now...how do you scare a snake in a fishin’ hole?!

Just a quick reminder that if you haven't yet, please be sure to vote for the People's Choice Awards. See my blog post here about who to "write in" on certain categories, because they were stupidly left out.

November sweeps is upon us, so the next few weeks of my posts are going to start to get quite bare again. Luckily, my summer shows are just starting to come off their hiatuses so I will have some fill-ins. I also started watching The OC and am currently four episodes into season 2, so I will continue to watch it over the TV break.

Favorite Episode Quotes:
Booth: No, no! It’s not that you’ve grown bigger… It’s that you’ve grown out. You’ve gotten larger. You know, like, you’ve just expanded. You know… You look great, by the way.
Booth: Are you asking me to marry you? / Brennan: What?! No. No! You’re the one who believes in marriage. I’m not going to bring it up. / Booth: Wow, you just did! / Brennan: Are you saying that you aren’t going to ask me to marry you? / Booth: You are going to ask me to marry you. / Brennan: That’s ridiculous. / Booth: It’s not ridiculous. It’s gonna happen!
Booth: We've got a murder!
Booth: I’m never going to be able to survive this pregnancy.
Hodgins: Angela used to cry at the ShamWow! commericals.
Brennan: I'm not normal. I'm extraordinary.
Brennan: Booth took a picture of me. But, since I have a picture of him cooking an omelet naked, he agreed never to show it to anyone.
Hodgins: So, beaten six months ago and murdered last week. That is some bad luck.
Booth: God is not a sociopath.
Brennan: I love you too Booth. / Booth: I know.
Booth: Just get one shot… / Brennan: Not funny! /Booth: Right, OK. Well, it’s a little funny, you have to admit.
Brennan: Lying here, I’ve had some time to think. Longer than I expected. You must run into traffic.
Brennan: I can always count on you to assist me practically, physically, and sexually.
Brennan: I would have seen this before if I wasn’t awash in hormones.
Wendell: She’s having that baby so the next generation will have someone to make them feel dumb.

Radio: You’re listening to The Morning Chaos with me, Bananas Foster. / Dean: The Hell I am, ass-hat. 
Waiter:…you are a virile manifestation of the divine. [Walks away] / Dean to Sam: What the hell did he say to me?

Museum Curator's message from Ellen to Dean: She seems quite concerned about you. She wants to tell you, pardon me, if you don’t tell someone how bad it really is, she’ll kick your ass from beyond. You have to trust someone again, eventually.
Dean: I think it’s reasonable to want to know that you’re off the freaking high-dive, Sam. You almost got us both killed. So you can be pissed all you want, but quit being a bitch.

Sam: We gotta find those bones. / Dean: So we gotta find the bonehead.
Dean: Ugh. I can’t believe he was boning her.
