(Gilmore Girls fan site)In the episode “Lorelai, Lorelai,” in reference to Tokyo Police Club.
ZACK: I was in the frozen foods aisle when I get this call from Graham. You remember Graham.
LANE: From Vapor Rub? Yeah. We saw them play last year at the Mercury Lounge.
ZACK: Yeah, well, great news… They need a new guitarist, and they called me… They’re going on a two-month tour this summer, and they want me to join them… and they’re totally cool with you and the boys coming along… Just wait. When we’re in Philly and D.C., we’re going to be opening for Tokyo Police Club.
In the episode “Gilmore Girls Only.”
ZACK (freaking out): Do I look like a “Papa” to you? Papa is a big cuddly guy from Italy with all this dark hair. That’s so not me!
In the episode “Gilmore Girls Only.”
ZACK (to Luke): Last night I made this mix of tunes that I thought would be right up your alley… You know, new stuff that sounds kind of classic rocky: My Morning Jacket, who are like Neil Young reborn if Neil would have, you know, died; Wolf Mother, definitely channelling Zeplin, modern but not so much that it would freak out somebody of your taste.
In the episode “Will You Be My Lorelai Gilmore?,” in reference to Yoko Ono.
LANE: Bed rest! This sucks!
LORELAI: Oh, come on. Haven’t you ever had one of those lazy Sundays where you stayed in bed all day? Just think of this as one long, lazy Sunday.
ZACK: Yeah, babe. Plus you get to eat all your meals on trays. That’s pretty cool. And I’m going to hang out with you, just like John and Yoko.
In the episode “Farewell, My Pet,” in reference to David Bowie.
LORELAI: So, Zack is going to do the music for the ceremony.
ZACK: I’m psyched, dude. At first I was thinking mandolin. But then I’m like, “Whoa, Zach, are you tripping? It’s got to be the acoustic guitar.” A way more soulful sound.
LORELAI: Have you thought about the music for the ceremony?
ZACK: Yeah, I did. Vintage Bowie, originally recorded with Herbie Flowers on bass, Ainsley Dunbar on drums. You know where I’m going? “Diamond Dogs”? “Whoo hoo! They called them the diamond dogs! Bow wow!”
In the episode “One's Got Class and the Other One Dyes.”
LANE: We can’t play any louder, guys.
ZACK: We’ve got to.
LANE: But that’s the agreement: Free practice space, but we have to play quietly.
DAVE: Just try and live with it, Zack.
ZACK: Dude, Brian’s breathing is louder than the song.
BRIAN: I’ve got a deviated septum. All the women in my family and me have it.
ZACK: Well, it’s throwing me off.
LANE: Hold your breath when we’re playing, Brian. There, problem solved. Okay, come on, now, let’s rock. One, two, three—
ZACK: Wait. The bottom line here is that breathing should not be louder than a rock band. Am I right, or am I right?
In the episode “Face-Off,” in reference to A Mighty Fortress Is Our God.
ZACK (singing): A mighty fortress is our God, a bulwark never failing. (stops singing) Dude, what’s a bulwark?
BRIAN: What?
ZACK: It says, “A bulwark never failing.”
BRIAN: I think it’s a wall.
ZACK: Then why don’t they just say that? Bulwark sounds totally gay.
BRIAN: I don’t think you’re supposed to call a hymn gay. It’s like a sin or something.
ZACK: Whatever, man. I’m not saying bulwark.
