Who Said It: Bones' Temperance Brennan or Breaking Bad's Walter White?

Can you tell the two scientists apart? Take this quiz to find out!

Temperance Brennan (Emily Deschanel), Bones' crime-solving forensic anthropologist, might not seem to have much in common with Walter White (Bryan Cranston), Breaking Bad's meth-cooking chemistry teacher. But the characters share a reverence for science, experience in the classroom, and a complete inability to suffer fools. Both Brennan and Walt are the best at what they do -- they just work on opposite sides of the law. And here's a Bones Day thesis for you: While Walt would throw a fit if he had to corral as many scientists as Brennan does, Brennan could run Walt's empire in a snap. She's definitely got the insults for it.

Taken out of context, the line starts to blur between Walt's one-liners and Brennan's, and between her meditations on science and his. If you think you've got what it takes to tell two of TV's toughest teachers apart based only on their quotes, test your knowledge with this quiz.

And listen -- if Bones could cross over with Sleepy Hollow, it could cross over with anything. So consider this our call for Temperance Brennan to pop up in the Breaking Bad movie.
