ANGELA; Hey, Booth must be cute with his grandfather, huh?
BRENNAN; Well, his grandfather calls him “Shrimp”. Booth seems to like it, which I don’t understand.
ANGELA; Well, it’s because it makes him feel loved, like when he actually was a shrimp.
BRENNAN; So, the moniker is a sign of affection?
ANGELA; [smiling] Very good, Brennan. You never had a nickname?
BRENNAN; Oh, no. Just what Booth calls me. Just- just Bones.Bones, 5x08 The Foot in the Foreclosure
Oh, I adored this. She doesn’t even realize the connection to Angela’s explanation of nicknames making you feel “loved” which makes it all the more adorable. Angela’s knowing smile at the end? ♥
