The Man in the Fallout Shelter [1.9]
- Brennan: I thought that you were at the party.
- Booth: Oh, that wasn’t a party. That was a Star Wars convention.
- Angela: It’s all so tragic. A cheap wedding ring sewn into his suit. Two tickets to Paris. It makes you wonder, who was the girl? Can you imagine what it was like for her, waiting and wondering, never knowing what happened?
- Brennan: I don’t have to imagine.
- Booth: You don’t seem too upset about missing Christmas.
- Brennan: Indications are that Christ, if he existed, was born in late spring, and the celebration of his birth was shifted to coincide with the pagan rite of the winter solstice so that early Christians weren’t persecuted.
- Booth: What are you, like, the Christmas killer?
- Brennan: It’s the truth.
- Booth: No, it sounds like the truth because it’s so rational, right? But the… you know, the true truth is you hate Christmas, so you just spout out all these facts and you ruin it for everyone else.
- Brennan: I ruin the true truth with facts?
- Brennan: Anthropologically speaking, gifts are a way of asserting dominance in a group. Now imagine an entire holiday devoted to self-promotion, especially in this materialistic culture. How can you expect me to get behind that? How can you get behind that?
- Booth: Wow, that’s… that’s deep. It’s a very deep pile of crap.
- Brennan: You came to me with information this morning, a peace offering. But it was to make you feel better, not me. Proves my point.
- Booth: Okay, could we just stop bringing up the whole Christ myth thing? Some people believe it’s more than just a myth.
- Brennan: Well, who besides you?
- Dr. Goodman: That would be me, Dr. Brennan. I’m a deacon at my church.
- Angela: I do. Christmas and Easter, anyway.
- Hodgins: Although I believe organized religion is just another political movement designed to control the masses, it doesn’t mean God doesn’t love me.
- Zack: Hey, I’m a rational empiricist all the way, unless you talk to my mother. Then I’m Lutheran.
