Friendship and Unexpected Loyalty
Jack
Oh, that's it. Dammit! I saw her first! And look what happens! The same thing that happened with Gabriella. I saw her first. And Wanda Tushman, in the third grade. I saw her first! And that girl in Palm Springs that turned out to be the guy. I saw that thing first too. You know why I'm not just strangling you right now?
Bones

Jack
