Quotes

Dr. Daniel Goodman: That is not a tuxedo, Dr. Hodgins.

Dr. Jack Hodgins: I am not going, Dr. Goodman.

Dr. Daniel Goodman: You are going.

[places name tag in Dr. Hodgins' pocket]

Dr. Daniel Goodman: When we arrive the donors will all be wearing name tags.

Zack Addy: What do we talk about?

Dr. Daniel Goodman: Your work, of course.

Angela Montenegro: Zack's work consists of removing flesh from corpses. Hodgins dissects bugs that have been eating people's eyeballs.

Dr. Jack Hodgins: Leave me out of it - I am not going.

Dr. Daniel Goodman: And how do you see your job?

Angela Montenegro: [sighs] I draw death masks.

Dr. Daniel Goodman: Is that really how you see it?

Angela Montenegro: Don't you?

Dr. Daniel Goodman: You are the best of us, Miss Montenegro. You discern humanity in the wreck of a ruined human body. You give victims back their faces - their identities. You remind us all of why we're here in the first place - because we treasure human life.

[Angela hugs Dr. Goodman]

Dr. Daniel Goodman: Oh, for God's sake.

Dr. Temperance Brennan: What happened?

Zack Addy: Apparently all Angela needed was to hear her job description in a deep African-American tone.

Other: Towards the end of the episode, Bones and Booth visit social services and discover the identify of an elderly man whom they then suspect to be a Gormagon Master, who had retired from social services and lived in a nursing home. Much earlier in the episode, back at the lab, there is a glass panel with a flow chart of Masters and Apprentice Gormagon's - one labeled Master has the picture of the old man from the nursing home - this is before the visit to social services or the nursing home.

Player Under Pressure (season 3, episode 11)

Audio problem: As he is preparing to put the skull in the turkey carcass, we hear Hodgins telling Cam that he is wrapping a skull in a turkey carcass, but his lips don't match the words "turkey carcass." He is saying something else.

The Verdict in the Story (season 3, episode 13)

⇑
⇓

Factual error: While Bones is trying to convince Angela to testify, Angela refuses on the grounds that she does not want to be responsible for Bones' father being executed. Bones then states that whether her father gets executed will be up to a jury. However, Bones' father is being tried in the District of Columbia, and D.C. abolished the death penalty in 1957, so there could be no chance of him being executed at all. It can't simply be a character mistake, because they were present at the beginning of the trial, and if the death penalty were possible those present in court would have heard the judge instructing the jury about it.

Revealing: At the end where Brennan is waiting outside the courthouse, you can see Booth's (David's) arm. You can see it just to the left of the large column on the right side of the screen. It is there before he leaves the courtroom, and before he walks up. He is supposed to be walking to her from the courtroom, but the actor is instead waiting behind the pillar for his cue.

⇑
⇓

Continuity: When Bones storms into Booth's bathroom to confront him, the clock behind her right shoulder changes from 10:05 to 2:05.

Amish wear a beard to indicate marital status, not jewelry it is against the religion to wear any decoration including wedding rings.

The Dwarf in the Dirt (season 5, episode 7)

⇑
⇓

Character mistake: Episode 5.07, "Dwarf in the Dirt" - Over lunch with Doctor/Chef Gordon Wyatt, Angela says he'd have to dislocate his jaw like "an articulated python" in order to bite into his sandwich. The snake is actually called a reticulated python.

Edit

The X in the File (season 5, episode 11)

⇑
⇓

Factual error: The Roswell, New Mexico sheriff forces Bones to examine the body because it was found in his jurisdiction. But later in the episode, we learn that the body was found 2 kilometers from the border of Mexico. Roswell is not even in a county on the border of New Mexico much less one that borders Mexico. In fact the closest border to Roswell between the US and Mexico would be in Texas - a 5 hour drive away. The Roswell sheriff would have no jurisdiction.

⇑
⇓

Factual error: Booth is introduced to Padme, Jared's girlfriend from India. She explains that they met when they were in "Bangalore visiting the Karnataka Belur temple". Bangalore is the capital city of the state Karnataka. Belur, however, is one of the twin temple towns of Belur and Halebid which is in the district of Hassan, a three-hour drive from Bangalore. There is no Belur temple in Bangalore.
