The case had brought them up here. Now that it was solved, a nearby bar had been suggested by the cop who’d helped them.
The discussion had strayed to matters of love - thankfully, Brennan was in the Ladies Room right now - and Booth sighed, muttering something to which Det. Amsterdam replied with, “I think - I like to think, at least - that there’s no language we can’t learn. And to learn it for the sake of a beautiful woman, is even better.”

“Oh?” Amsterdam asked, up for a challenge. “Name it. I might know a few words, and that could help.”
Booth shrugged. “Somehow, you don’t look like you speak Squint.”
