Bones, Season 1

[Booth and Brennan are in a conference room in the FBI building, sitting across from each other. Booth is filling out a form.]

Booth:
Name?

Brennan:
You know my name.

Booth:
Bones, you are making an official request to the FBI to be allowed to carry a concealed weapon. I have to follow protocol.

Brennan:
It's ridiculous.

Booth:
Fine. Then we're done here. Do you want to get some coffee?

Brennan:
My name is Dr. Temperance Brennan.

Booth:
Reason for wanting a gun?

Brennan:
To shoot people.

Booth:
Not a good response.

Brennan:
It's the truth.

Booth:
You know, I'm writing 'Self defence in the performance of my duties pursuing suspected felons as contracted out to the FBI.'

Brennan:
So I can shoot them.

Booth:
[gives her a look but continues undeterred] Have you ever been charged with a felony?

Brennan:
Charged or convicted?

Booth:
Charged.

Brennan:
You know I have.

Booth:
I have to ask the questions.

Brennan:
Bureaucratic nonsense.

Booth:
Nevertheless, name of arresting officer.

Brennan:
You. Special Agent Seeley Booth. Do you need me to spell that for you?

Booth:
I think I can sound that out.

Brennan:
So, when do I get the gun?

[Booth stamps the application form and shows it to her. It says DENIED]

Booth:
You can't have a gun.

Brennan:
Why not?

Booth:
Because you were charged with a felony.

Brennan:
Write down that you were wrong to charge me.

Booth:
Oh, there is no space for that.
