"Bones"

"Hi Booth"

"You O.K?"

"Yes, why wouldn't I be?"

"Well...you had a date..."

"Yes, Angela said you'd call."

"No. It's not. What did she say?"

"That you were my knight in standard issue body armour and you'd call tonight."

"Well..."

"Is there anything you wanted?"

"I was wondering how it went."

"Oh. Well. I thought it was going well then..."

"I can't believe he just left you there."

"I never said...were you watching me?"

"No of course not Bones. It's your private life."

"It's something you'd do."

"What do you mean?"

"Well, you've been known to over-react."

"Bones..."

"How did you know?"

"It's a long story."

"You didn't punch my date did you?"

"No..."

"Booth! I was being sarcastic."

"It's not my fault..."

"How did you know who he was? Are you sure you weren't watching us?"

"Trust me. Just leave it there."

"O.K. well if that's it I'll see you in the morning."

"Bye."

...

"Bones, we've got a case."

"Thanks Booth."

"What for? I didn't murder a guy so we could have a case."

"No, not that Angela told me."

"Oh...I hope you're not upset."

"No I'm fine he creeped me out a bit."

"Ha...O.K let's go..."

"In the future check with me before you punch my dates."

"You got it Bones. But anytime you need anyone punching..."

"You'll be the first person I'll call."

"Good."
