Booth: All this kid wants is to feel like a hero. Suddenly he’s facing the damsel in distress.
Brennan: Lucy McGruder is ten years older.
Booth: No, it’s not the damsel part that matters. It’s the distress that appealed to the kid. You know, I mean look, it wasn’t about the sex or the romance. It never was.
Brennan: He wanted to make a difference in the world before he died. I told you he was more like you then me. (edit) Brennan: Her husband beats her.
Booth: Bones! Talk about multiple hypotheses.
Brennan: It’s a leap, yes, but it was bound to happen, me spending so much time with you. I mean that as a compliment. (edit) Brennan: You said before that Warren reminded you of me. You think I’m just like him, that he hid from life by immersing himself in a fantasy world where he fought crime, and I do the same thing. Only I don’t have super powers, I have science.
Booth: C’mon Bones, you do fight crime. It’s not a fantasy. As far as any normal person is concerned, you do have super powers.
Brennan: You’re just saying that to me.
Booth: No, I don’t do that.
Brennan: Yes you do. You lied to Warren Granger’s mother to make her feel better. That seems to be your super power. (edit) Brennan: You told her that her son didn't tell her about being sick to make her feel better.
Booth: Mmhuh.
Brennan: You don't really believe that.
Booth: Well, people don't actually do that.
Brennan: So, you just told her that to make her feel better?
Booth: Right.
Brennan: So you just did what you said people don't do. (edit) (Booth and Brennan at Capital Bowl)
Booth: Do you smell that?
Bones: Yes, I do.
Booth: You know what that is Bones?
Brennan: Wax, popcorn, feet, deodorant.
Booth: That is America, Bones.
Brennan: (smiles) You keep your bowling ball in the car?
Booth: Oh, you know, I figured we ask a few questions about Warren Granger, maybe bowl a few frames. You know, nothing like a little sport to uh, take the edge off of.
Brennan: This is not a sport.
Booth: How do you figure?
Brennan: There’s no physical benefit, so it’s really like golf. It’s not a sport. It’s an activity.
Booth: You know, could you please Bones, maybe just for once, try not to piss everyone off around you?
Brennan: Yeah, sorry. Are you good at this sport?
Booth: Ah well, my average is over 200, less then two opens per game, one match I had 211 strikes out of 431 shots. Twenty-nine opens, thirty-nine games.
Brennan: What does that mean?
Booth: It means I won some bowling awards.
Brennan: I won the Marshall H. Dixon award for my paper on George John Romanes and physiological selection.
Booth: My God, it’s like we lead parallel lives. (edit)

Batman is the only mainstream comic hero (or official comic hero) mentioned by name in this episode. Aside from that, the only other reference to a mainstream comic hero is when we briefly see the cover of a Superman comic Brennan flips through at the comic store. (edit) Goof: When Zack is reading the comic book while he is cleaning the bones, the 3 trays on the table are empty. When he goes to open the container with the bones inside it, the trays have a blue fabric on them. (edit) Goof: The murder victim's parents say that nobody has been in his room since the detective was there 2 months ago. Then why would the lava lamp be on while they were in there? (edit) When Hodgins is saying he thought Zack would be a reader of comics, he mentions the following film and shows from the sci-fi genre: Star Wars, Star Trek, Stargate, Battlestar Galactica. (edit)

Abigail: Before he disappeared, he gave me his entire Neil Gaiman collection.

When the victim's friend, "Blue Minnow" (Abigail), mentions Neil Gaiman, she's referring to the popular writer of Miracleman, Marvel 1602, and Sandman. (edit)
