Dr. Temperance Brennan | Bones

[notimpervious]

1. I have been to every continent.

2. I am a vegetarian.

3. I have performed in a circus.

[blessedmaiden]

Performing in a circus sounds fun! And I'd say the fake one is number two!

[notimpervious]

The second one is true. I have been a vegetarian for four years.

[Hah! She got you!]

[blessedmaiden]

Oh, sweet father, you're a real vegetarian? [There's real shock in her voice.] Uhn... then I'll pick the first one as lie.

[notimpervious]

Why does that surprise you?

Yes, you are correct. I have not been to Antarctica.

[drabsolutelynot]

I will have to guess you are not a vegetarian

[notimpervious]

You are wrong. I am a vegetarian.

[She's so good at this!!]

[drabsolutelynot]

Really? I am surprised a scientist such as yourself would choose to be vegetarian.

[notimpervious]

And I am surprised that a doctor such as yourself would choose not to be. There are many health benefits to being vegetarian, including a reduced risk of cancer.

[aroundthecoroner]

You haven't been to every continent.

[Because Antarctica???]

[notimpervious]

Correct!

[aroundthecoroner]

[Hell yeah.]

So what did you do in the circus?

[notimpervious]

I was half of a knife-throwing duo. Our act was called Boris and Natasha's Knives of Death. My partner is very good at throwing knives.

[He didn't ask for 2/3 of their act to even happen but who can stop Brennan when she gets an Idea...]

[einselective]

It's quite clearly number one, since I doubt you've had reason to visit Antarctica.

[notimpervious]

I knew I could depend on a fellow scientist to identify the lie.

[lifetothefullest]

I could believe the first if I didn't already know the others were true.

[notimpervious]

You are cheating, Dr. Sweets!

[lifetothefullest]

[Okay, he's seriously torn between laughing and being offended by that.]

How is that any more cheating than you knowing where I did my undergrad degree?

[notimpervious]

That is not the same. I forgot and guessed incorrectly.

[mismanagement]

Clearly you have led an interesting life, Doctor Brennan, though you do not strike me as a performer.

[notimpervious]

In fact, I have performed in more than a few contexts.

What gives you that impression?

[mismanagement]

Truly? Describe them, if you would.

You display mastery or at least a strong familiarity with multiple disciplines, far more than would come simply from reading the academic texts.

[requiemshark]

I'm betting on number one as the lie, Doc. Continents are bullshit. Gotta count that stuff in planets.

[notimpervious]

You are incorrect. Where I am from, we have not yet achieved interplanetary travel.

[requiemshark]

So you've been to every continent?
