- Angela: (recreating the cab driver's reaction to the explosion) Yeah. Now, I can adjust his reaction times, but even when I go superhuman -- and I'm talking, like, Maverick and Iceman reaction times -- look at where the bone shrapnel lands. Angela is referring to the callsigns of the two best Navy fighter pilots from the 1986 action movie Top Gun -- Maverick (Lt. Pete Mitchell, played by Tom Cruise) and Iceman (Lt. Tom Kazanski, played by Val Kilmer).

- Daisy: Oh, one more thing. I found this in Santa's twelfth rib. Hodgins: I'm never going to make my flight. Daisy: I recommend celebrating in March. Hodgins: Thank you, Ebenezer. Ebenezer Scrooge in the main character of Charles Dickens' novel A Christmas Carol. He had been a cold-hearted man most of his life and hated everything related to Christmas and happiness, but after being visited by the three Ghosts of Christmas, he begged for a chance to change and was given an opportunity to repent.
