Another B&B moment for you!
B&B Moment #5
Bones tells Booth that she wants a gun (Man on Death Row). Reason? To shoot people, of course.
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 defense in the performance of my duties pursuing suspected felons as contracted out to the FBI."
BRENNAN: So I can shoot them.
BOOTH: 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 the arresting officer?
BRENNAN: You… Special Agent Seeley Booth. Do you need me to spell that for you?
BOOTH: I can sound that out.
BRENNAN: So when do I get the gun?
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’s no space for that.
BRENNAN: Why’d we go through all of this if you were never going to give me a gun?
BOOTH: You have a constitutional right to apply for a weapon. I would never deny your constitutional right.
BRENNAN: But I need a gun!
BOOTH: Rules are rules.
BRENNAN: Tell them that I shot a murderer who was going to light me on fire.
BOOTH: Which is why you weren’t convicted. But you did shoot an unarmed man. I… I can’t ignore that. I swore an oath to protect society from people who shoot people.
BRENNAN: It was only his leg, and he’s in jail for the rest of his life, how much is he gonna use it anyway?
