Levitt: Dr. Brennan, why did you become a forensic anthropologist?
Brennan: I beg your pardon?
Levitt: There must be some reason you chose this field out of the hundreds of other careers someone of your intelligence could’ve chosen. Was there some emotional reason perhaps?
Meredith: Objection. Relevance, Your Honor?
Brennan: I don’t see how this pertains to the case.
Levitt: Dr. Brennan is cold, distant, and alienating, Your Honor.
Brennan: Hey!
Levitt: I need the jury to understand why she’s so cold. So that they might be willing to accept her testimony.
Meredith: Her personality issues are not relevant to this case.
Levitt: They opened up this line of questioning, Your Honor. When Dr. Stires was on the stand, he wondered why Dr. Brennan became a forensic anthropologist. So the defense must’ve thought it had some relevance then.
Judge: Sorry, Mr. Meredith. You did raise the issue. Overruled. You may continue, Mr. Levitt.
Levitt: Dr. Brennan, your parents disappeared when you were 15 and no one’s ever found out what happened to them. Isn’t that correct?
Judge: Please. Answer the question, Dr. Brennan.
Brennan: That’s correct.
Levitt: It must be very painful. Is it fair to say that you’ve been trying to solve the mystery of their loss your whole life?
Brennan: Do I want answers? Yes. As how that has affected my behavior, which, I assume, is what you’re trolling for, I don’t put much stock in psychology.
Levitt: Is that why you wrap yourself up in techno-speak, so you don’t have to feel how these victims remind you of your own parents?
Brennan: How I feel doesn’t matter. My job doesn’t depend on it.
Levitt: But it’s informed by it. Or are you as cold and unfeeling as you seem?
Brennan: I see a face on every skull. I can look at their bones and tell you how they walked, where they hurt. Maggie Schilling is real to me. The pain she suffered was real. Her hip was being eaten away by infection from lying on her side. Sure, like Dr. Stires said, the disease could contribute to that if you take it out of context, but you can’t break Maggie Schilling down into little pieces. She was a whole person who fought to free herself. Her wrists were broken from struggling against the handcuffs. The bones in her ankles were ground together because her feet were tied. And her side, her hip, and her shoulder were being eaten away by infection. And the more she struggled, the more pain she was in. So they gave her those drugs to keep her quiet. They gave her so much, it killed her. These facts can’t be ignored or dismissed because you think I’m (Brennan laughs dryly) boring or obnoxious, because I don’t matter. What I feel doesn’t matter. Only she matters. Only Maggie.

Brennan: It took me a long time to be able to remember when I was young. Because I didn’t trust the happy memories. I couldn’t believe them. Not with the life I was living in foster homes.
Jane Doe: How did you remember?
Brennan: Some images just wouldn’t go away. I would close my eyes at night and I’d see a woman… um… my mother. With me in her lap, we were having a picnic on the beach. She was cutting me a big piece of chocolate cake and we were laughing.
Sweets: Remembering moments like those can make a difficult situation worse, if you think you can never be happy like that again. But if you see a chance, give yourself hope. You can allow yourself to believe that those moments are real.
