What did I tell ya? BRENNAN: How could this happen? BOOTH: Whoa, well, um...Maybe he was rolled up in a carpet. BRENNAN: (laughs) Where's the carpet? BOOTH: Well, it rotted away. You know, with the meaty parts. (Brennan starts laughing hysterically) BOOTH: What? It's possible. BRENNAN: (still laughing) That - that would've, that would've taken thousands of years. Um, uh. The bones should be in a pile but. (cracks up again) something is holding them together and - (Brennan laughs uncontrollably) BOOTH: What is with you? BRENNAN: (still laughing) Rolled in a carpet!? "Meaty parts!" (Caroline enters wearing a hard hat.) CAROLINE: Excuse me? BRENNAN: (still laughing) Ah, uh...oh. CAROLINE: What is so funny? BRENNAN: Nothing. (she tries to stop the laughter) CAROLINE: I should hope not because there's a dead body deserving of respect right in front of you. What happened to him? (Brennan cracks up again) CAROLINE: I did not know she could laugh. BOOTH: What are you doing at the crime scene
