[looks at Zack intently] Zack, you're an excellent scientist but an important part of the job is appearing as an expert witness in court.
Oooph.
ZackOooph what?
Jurors have to take you seriously and frankly, you look like a weekend fill-in at a college radio station.
[smiles at Zack sympathetically] Truth hurts, dude. Learn from it and grow.

Yeah?
Short men have better leverage.
ZackI'm feeling uncomfortable.
ZackMy doctor said most of my injuries didn't come from the explosion but from being slammed into the floor. [to Booth.] Apparently you're extremely strong.
[to Booth.] Did you have to be so rough on him?
(plaintively) It was a bomb. I was being, you know, heroic.
ZackHow would someone eat gold?
Not eat, drink. Goldenrod.
Goldenrod?
It's this 100 proof cinnamon schnapps that we drank in college. It's infused with real gold flakes, purely for decadence sake.

Which is zero, because they're skeletons.
I'm not working a whole case with you attacking my beliefs. You should have just saddled up with your boyfriend.
Your beliefs are of an invisible man who wants to run my personal life.
ZackDeath would have followed quickly caused by cranial cerebral trauma.
By the way, 90% of the world believes in God!
And at one time most people were certain that the sun revolved around the earth.
[to Zack] You see, I don't think this is about religion at all. [to Brennan] We obviously have issues that are affecting our working relationship and you're afraid to deal with them, so you just lash out at my religion!
Can't you just be satisfied that if I'm wrong about God, I'll burn in hell?
Ooh, that's tempting.
Waffle-soled shoes and a track suit.
You know who wears track suits?
ZackAthletes?
No, huge tubs of lard or retired people.
Why do you know that?
ZackMy knowledge is vast.
Why did I ask?
Hey, do you aliens use any weapons resembling a...
ZackA broadsword?
How about a lightsaber?
ZackNo. Those can cut through any known substance. The victim would've been completely dismembered.

Why me?
ZackYou know more about duty and honor than anyone else I know.

ZackShe could bandage herself and still be ambulatory.

Zack"Walk around" implies aimlessness, which I'm not able to determine.
Can't believe I still ask these things.
[finding a rare insect] Hello, my exotic princess!
What a charmingly inappropriate greeting, Dr. Hodgins.
ZackI think he was talking to the bug.

ZackI will be the back end of a cow.
So, no costume.
ZackNaomi from Paleontology has agreed to be my front.
So many jokes, so little time.
