Specific-Type 'Bones' Quotes Needed!
Hello everyone! =) I'm hoping this is allowed in the rules - if not, major d'oh on my part.
If it is, then I'll trudge right in. As a semester project in my Chemistry class, we had to write two papers on two careers that involved science. One of mine was, shockingly, Forensic Anthropology. I now have to present my career in a relatively simple presentation, and I'm hoping to spice up my Powerpoint with something amusing, or that I can relate to my classmates, and I thought...hey! Don't I know of a little show about forensic anthropology...?
I'm looking to gather quotes relating to each slide that I can pair up with the technical information. I've got a few gathered , but I know there will be plenty I didn't think of or ones that may be better suited to the category. If you have any quotes that you think might work, or at least know of an episode that might have a few good quotes to use, please do share!
1) What is a Forensic Anthropologist?
- Tasks, their basic job description, etc.
Brennan: I imagine I'm treated differently then you because I have an indispensable skill.
Booth: Oh right, indispensable. I do not need you.
Brennan: Oh, so you can determine the origin of the cuff marks as well as the sex and age of the victim?
2) Job Requirements
- School, license, etc
Zack: I'm getting a degree in forensic anthropology, I'm half-way through another in engineering. What're you afraid I'll do? Build a race of criminal robots that'll destroy the earth? (Doesn't exactly fit, but it made me laugh. =P)
3) Jobs
- Museum work, FBI work, etc.
Brennan: [Pointing to plastic boxes of bones] Look, I'm going to be very busy this weekend even after the ID, I have these.
Angela: Remains from WWI.
Brennan: That's what the institution pays me for. I've got hundreds of these waiting.
Booth: Bones identifies bodies for us.
Brennan: Don't call me Bones, and I do more than identify.
4) Pay
- Well...salary.
Booth: You know being cooped up in a crappy hotel in the middle of nowhere with a fifty dollar per diem is not my idea of a good time either, you know.
Brennan: You only get fifty dollars a day? How do you live on that?
Booth: Okay, what do you mean? What do you get?
Brennan: I don't have a limit, I just give them the receipts.
5) Pros/Cons
- Helping solve crimes and ID missing persons for their family, versus the grizzly crimes/working with the dead/building up walls or becoming numb.
Brennan: I see a face on every skull. I can look at their bones and tell you how they walked, where they hurt. Maggie Schilling is real to me. The pain she suffered was real. Her hip was being eaten away by infection from lying on her side. Sure, like Dr. Stires said, the disease could contribute to that if you take it out of context, but you can’t break Maggie Schilling down into little pieces.
Goodman: And how do you see your job?
Angela: I draw death masks.
Goodman: Is that really how you see it?
Angela: Don't you?
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.
Brennan: It's barbaric. It's painful. (Looks at the woman waiting.) It's wrong. This murder victim may never be identified because some glorified barber with a medical degree had the arrogance to think that he could do better then the millennium of evolution.
6) Why should we care?
- General "cool" things...interesting jobs they do, their place in society/the government/how uncommon of a job it is.
Booth: Yeah, well you know what? I’m the one with the badge and the gun huh. You know, you’re not the only forensic anthropologist in town.
Temp: [Laughing] Yes I am. The next nearest is in Montreal.
As you can see, I've got a decent enough little collection built up. I'm still looking, but like I said, it'd be great to get a few perspectives on it. Sadly, they can't be incredibly long quotes - small enough to take up only one-half of a slide in a big enough font to read. And vulgarity/a lot of gory details should be easy to edit out...my teacher would probably laugh, and then uneasily mark me down to talk to after class. xD
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
