The Best Thing I Heard This Weekend

By Leave a Comment

came from the season premiere of “Bones”. (And let us all do a happy dance of joy in celebration of new episodes of TV!)

Booth and Bones are in the U.K. to present at various conferences. While there, they become involved in solving a couple of murders, and are working with Inspector Pritchard of Scotland Yard.

Booth and the Inspector are questioning the manager of the Highgate Gentlemen’s Club, and have just informed him of the murder of one of its members.

Club Manager: My God. Two nights ago Dr. Wexler was buying drinks for all of his friends, and playing the tables as if he hadn’t a care in the world.

Booth: “Was he with a woman?”

Inspector Pritchard: “No, this is a gentleman’s club, Agent Booth.”

Booth: “I didn’t see a stage, or a pole, or dancers, or anything.””

Inspector Pritchard: No, an English gentleman’s club is for actual, English gentlemen.”
