Gidget: Somebody murdered Bryce?
Booth: Well,you know,your number one draw disappears,you had to have had a theory.
Gidget: I just figured he couldn't handle what happened between us anymore. Murdered how?
BRENNAN: Well,what happened between you?
Gidget: Come on,we had a thing. Got old. I moved on.Thought at first Bryce did,too,but it ate at him. Guys are like that,you know. The outside,it looks like they don't care,but on the inside, they're chewing themselves up like cancer. I've got to be a suspect,right?
BRENNAN: We don't like to come right out and say that.
Gidget: Well,I know I am,'cause Bryce was suing me.
Booth: Oh,really? What was he suing you for?
Gidget: A bigger cut of the gate. I didn't take it personal, maybe he did. You know men. Something goes wrong in the heart department, it always shows itself in another way. You know Bryce had criminal past, right?
Booth: Yeah, he went to prison for assault during a robbery.
Gidget: What can I say? I got a thing for the bad boys. Don't you?
BRENNAN: No. I prefer good boys.
Booth: Really?
BRENNAN: Yes.
Booth: Yeah.
