Now my favorite scene in this episode is when Booth and Brennan are in the gym and he's shooting baskets so I wrote this from the gym attendants point of view, don't laugh this is actually my job at school, to sit in the gym and monitor aka do my homework. Enjoy.
3.11 – Player Under Pressure – Gym Attendant
The gym was empty due to the fact that classes were in session, the perfect time to work because I could get homework done in the quiet, and despite the smell, I have a ton of reading for my congress class tomorrow. I was getting into the rules and regulations when a couple walked in, they were clearly not students.
It turns out they were the FBI agents investigating R.J. Manning's death and were wondering if they could use the gym until classes were over because they were waiting to question someone. I didn't see why not, sure, there are rules against letting people not associated with the college in, but no one else is here and I don't actually care so I let them in.
The reading was extremely boring, rules and regulations weren't exactly fascinating, and the couple was far more interesting so I watched them. He was showing off for her making basket after basket, unfortunately it was not working what so ever. She was lecturing him about how sports were a modern day equivalent for warriors, and that athletes were emotionally stunted. It was highly amusing to watch him continue to shoot baskets for her while she told him effectively that it wasn't impressive.
She didn't seem to process that he was offended because of what she was saying at all and was more confused when he eventually gave up and came close enough to kiss her and told her he would have been a pro if his shoulder crapped out, and then he stormed out of the gym.
She just picked up the basketball, made a basket and then smiling she followed him out of the gym. What a cute couple, how many girls do you see that can make a guy feel bad about their sports ability and then are capable of doing the same thing and don't expect anything to change between them?
