Special Agent Seeley Booth: You're amazing, you know that?Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan: Yes.
Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan: It's the court's obligation to protect us.Priest: God will look out for us.Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan: That, of course is absurd. We have as much of a chance of Apollo or Santa to protect us as whatever anthropomorphized fantasy figure you revere. I'm putting my faith in a marshal with a gun, any day.
But in a real sense. He's here. Sweets is a part of us. Our lives... who we all are at this moment, have been shaped by our relationships with Sweets. Well, each of us is like a delicate equation. And Sweets was the variable without which we wouldn't be who we are. I might not have married Booth. Or had Christine. Daisy certainly wouldn't be carrying his child. We are all who we are because we knew Sweets. So, I don't need a... a God to praise him or the universe he sprang from, because I loved him. I used to try and explain love, define it as the secretion of... chemicals and hormones. But I believe now, remembering Sweets, seeing what he left us, that love cannot be explained by... science or religion. It's beyond the mind, beyond reason. What I do know loving Sweets... loving each other, that's what makes life worthwhile. Right now... I don't need to know more than that. Which is embarrassing coming from an extremely intelligent, fact-based person.
I play chess, too. Not like you, of course. I've been trying to teach Booth, but he keeps referring to the Knights as horseys.
