If you don't watch Bones, here's why you should:
(Bones Season 2 on DVD 9/11, season premiere 9/25)

Booth: Name?
Bones: You know my name.
Booth: Bones, you are making an official request to the FBI to be allowed to carry a concealed weapon.  I have to follow protocol.
Bones: It’s ridiculous.
Booth: Fine.
Slides application to her.
Booth: Then we’re done here. Do you want to get some coffee?
She slides it back.
Bones: My name is Dr. Temperance Brennan.
Booth: Reason for wanting a gun?
Bones: To shoot people.
Booth: Not a good response.
Bones: It’s the truth.
Booth: You know, I’m writing, “self defense in the performance of my duties pursuing suspected felons as contracted out to the FBI.”
Bones: So I can shoot them.
Booth: Have you ever been charged with a felony?
Bones: Charged or convicted?
Booth: Charged.
Bones: You know I have.
Booth: I have to ask the questions.
Bones: Bureaucratic nonsense.
Booth: Never the less, name of the arresting officer?
Bones: You.
Booth gives her a withering glance.
Bones: Special Agent Seeley Booth. Do you need me to spell that for you?
Booth: I can sound that out.
Bones: So when do I get the gun?
Booth inhales and stamps the paper.  Then he holds it up on a clipboard facing Bones.  She sees big red letters that say “denied.”
Booth: You can’t have a gun.
Bones: Why not?
Booth: Because you were charged with a felony.
Bones: Write down that you were wrong to charge me.
Booth: Oh, there’s no space for that.
Bones: Why did we go through all this if you were never going to give me a gun?
Booth: You have a constitutional right to apply for a weapon.  I would never deny your constitutional right.
Bones: Well, uh, I need a gun.
Booth: Rules are rules.
Bones: Tell them that I shot a murderer who was going to light me on fire.
Booth: Which is why you weren’t convicted but you did shoot an unarmed man. I… I can’t ignore that. I swore an oath to protect society from people who shoot people.
Bones: It was only his leg and he’s in jail for the rest of his life.  How much is he going to use it anyway?
Booth: You have a right to an appeal.
Bones: To whom?
Booth shakes his head.
Bones: Cullen? I’m pretty sure he doesn’t like me.
Booth: Yeah, I’m pretty sure you’re right.
They walk out of the room and through the lobby.
Booth: Bones you don’t need a gun. If anyone needs shooting, I’ll do it.
Bones: But what if you’re injured or dead and someone still needs shooting?  I’m not hoping it will happen.  I’m just stating a possibility.
Booth: Ah, come on. You know what Bones? You’re a professor; you’re not an FBI agent. Okay? Use your mutant powers, just talk people to death.
