Seeley Booth says of "Bones":

[Wilson Gray]

"[When I try to tell her how good-looking she is, s]he thinks I'm just
_shining her on_."


Apparently, some scriptwriter thinks that _shine ... on_ means "string
... along" and not "brush ... off."

All say, "How hard it is that we have to die!"---a strange complaint
to come from the mouths of people who have had to live.
