Bones, Season 4

Max:
I've, um, I've decided I'm going to leave the Jeffersonian.

Sweets:
Why?

Brennan:
Uh, because I fired him.

Sweets:
You can do that?

Max:
Oh, yeah. Believe me, she can do it.

Brennan:
Well, it's all about proximity to forensic evidence.

Max:
Uh, don't take any offense, but that's a lot of crap. It's about a proximity to me. Right?

Sweets:
Well, in my opinion, it isn't your father's presence that's causing you anxiety. It's the memory of his absence.

Brennan:
I can understand quantum mechanics, but I can't understand you.
