I wish I were dedicated enough to actually do a weekly quote. Maybe I'll try that after my two year anniversary or something. I just love quotes and this is no exception.

Okay, so I am watching reruns of Bones. Which is a great procedural buddy cop show and highly enjoyable. If you've never seen it, I highly recommend it. I have both my parents loving it now. I haven't seen them all yet, but I am getting close. At any rate, I was watching a fourth season episode last night, called "The Passenger in the Oven" and there was this line in there that cracked me up. If you're not familiar, the female lead is a genius, forensic anthropologist who assists the FBI in solving murders. She is scientifically genius but completely clueless when it comes to everyday life. She doesn't understand popular culture at all. She works with an FBI liaison Agent Seeley Booth. Booth is a straight-arrow every man who tries to do the right thing. The best part of the show is watching these two figure how to work with each other because they are such completely different people. It makes for some entertaining moments in a gruesome cop show.

The particular scene went like this:

Dr. Brennan (played by the adorably awkward Emily Deschanel) and Agent Booth find a body while on a flight to China. They have to solve the crime before the plane lands and it is no longer under the FBI's jurisdiction. Dr. Brennan is going to do an autopsy of the body with materials that they've scavenged from other passengers on the plane. One of the things she needed was a magnifying glass. Agent Booth (played by the vampirically delicious David Boreanaz) found her a pair of granny glasses to use instead.

He walks into the autopsy area and she looks up at him with the giant granny glasses perched on her nose. Got the scene?

Booth: Right. What I want you to do is take off your glasses, shake out your hair and say,
"Mr. Booth, do you know what the penalty is for an overdue book?"
Brennan: Why?
Booth: (sighs and steps away) Never mind.

Seriously? I just laughed and laughed then backed it up and watched it again just so I could laugh again. Who doesn't love a good 'sexy librarian' joke? (Especially when it's made by a sexy man....)
