Added DiffLines:

* "Operation: Zack":
** When Screech wheels an injured Zack into the emergency room, he screams at the top of his lungs, "Lady with a baby!" as staffers jump out the way in alarm and one even drops a bunch of papers into the air.
** As candy striper Lisa, Screech, and Mr. Belding are awaiting his test results, the worried principal (who accidentally collided with Zack and he bumped him and he fell, hurting his knee) frets as Screech looks at him in disdain as a "whaa-whaa-whaa" sound effect is heard.
** Zack is able to convince an attractive nurse to massage his neck, this moment occurs:
-->'''Slater:''' You know, my neck's been cramping up a lot lately...\\
''*Jessie slaps the back of his neck hard, surprising him*''\\
'''Jessie:''' Feeling better?\\
'''Slater:''' [[SarcasmMode Perfect.]]
** When the gang tries to cheer up an upset Zack:
-->'''Screech:''' We could use some cheering up. ''*pulls up a remote control*'' Let's watch some TV!\\
'''Zack:''' No, no, Screech! That's the--! ''*bed wildly adjusts as the gang scream in shock and Zack cries, "My leg! My leg!"*''\\
'''Jessie:''' Screech, you pressed the wrong button! ''This'' button controls the TV!\\
''*the bed adjusts again as Zack cries out, "Whoa! Whoa! Whoa! and the gang tries to control the bed, which they soon do*''\\
'''Zack:''' Will you stop helping me? You're gonna kill me!
** [[ThePatientHasLeftTheBuilding Zack decides to escape to avoid having surgery.]] Dressing as a doctor, he hobbles around, lying to nurse that he's going to remove a patient's neck, tells her to put a patient having chills next to a guy with a fever to her confusion, and is then pulled into a room by another nurse who makes out with him. He then [[BreakingTheFourthWall tells the audience, "Man, that is one sick lady!"]]
** The ending has Lisa kicking his friends out, citing how he needs his rest after the surgery, only for this to happen:
-->'''Screech:''' We can't leave yet! ''Series/GilligansIsland'' is on.\\
'''Everyone else:''' What, uh-- [[BigNo NO!]]

** When Screech [[RunningGag (once again)]] takes his shot with Lisa:
-->'''Screech:''' Now that Kelly's picked Zack, it's time to snatch me up before I'm taken. Will you go to the prom with me?\\
'''Lisa:''' Yeah, I'll go.\\
'''Screech:''' ''(ecstatically)'' You ''will?!''\\
'''Lisa:''' I'll go with you [[BaitAndSwitch when worms have ears!]] ''(storms off)''\\
'''Screech:''' You're weakening!
** The next scene has her actually receiving a gift box from him filled with worms with paper ears taped to them. In spite of this feat, she ''still'' refuses to go with him.

* "Fatal Distraction" has Zack bugging Jessie's slumber party to learn who Kelly was going to take to a school dance. When he does learn that Kelly would be taking him, he cheers in victory (and unintentionally ruining his plan by having the girls discover the hidden microphone) and yells out, "Go, Lakers! Did you see that shot?!" Kelly soon replies, "That's funny; the Lakers aren't even playing tonight!"
** At one point they're discussing who they think is handsome, this exchange happens:

''*the other girls all swoon in agreement*''\\

* "Rent-A-Pop" has Zack "employing' The Max's waiter, James, in a dual role: as both Mr. Belding and his father to avoid punishment for a parent-teacher conference over his failing grades. It starts with this exchange between Zack and Mr. Belding:
-->'''Mr. Belding:''' Uh, Zack? Do you know what the letters "F", "F", "D" and "C"?\\
'''Zack:''' "Fine-feathered dogs and cats"?\\
'''Mr. Belding:''' No.\\
'''Zack:''' Well, keep going; I love this game.\\

'''Zack:''' ''*impressed*'' [[ComicallyMissingThePoint A "C" in Math? Hey, I didn't know I was doing that good!]] ''*to himself* Wow, a "C"...
** When James acts as Zack's father, Derek:
-->'''James!Derek:''' I don't think that two weeks of detention is fair...\\
'''Zack:''' I agree.\\
'''James!Derek:''' ...two ''months'' is more like it! And I want you to give him an extra four hours of homework a night!\\
'''Mr. Belding:''' Oh, come on, Mr. Morris. Don't you think that you're overreacting?\\
'''Zack:''' ''*whispering to him in annoyance*'' And over-''[[LargeHam acting?!]]''\\
'''Mr. Belding:''' I mean, who cares about algebra anyway?\\
'''James!Derek:''' ''[[LargeHam I]]'' [[LargeHam care!]] Uh, ''I'' care.
** When James acts as Mr. Belding:
** He tries to compliment Mr. Morris on his tie:
-->'''James!Belding:''' ''*whilst examining it*'' Nice tie...silk? ''*they accidentally bump heads with a "bonk!" sound when they collide*''
** He "displays" Zack's [[BlatantLies perfect]] grades:
-->'''James!Belding:''' Trouble? Zack? Why, I don't think I ever heard those two words in the same sentence. I mean, just look at these grades: ''*speaking quickly whilst he closes the file just as fast on Mr. Morris*'' "A", "A", "A", "A", "A".
** Screech managed to divert Belding by claiming that someone poisoned the chess team. When Belding then tries to summon help for the team who are all sick in the boy's room:
-->'''Screech:''' Wait! ''*walkie-talkie falls out of the large sandwich he's carrying*'' [[OhCrap Oops!]] Wow, that's the last time I order a sub with everything!
** Zack has an ImagineSpot where he's GroundedForever and he and his friends are now all really old people and the friends are about to see their favorite musical group, [[Music/NewKidsOnTheBlock The Old Men On The Block.]] Additionally, [[ScatterbrainedSenior Screech]] forgets who he is ("Hmm, I remember Screech! Cute little fella. Whatever happened to him?") and Zack learns that Slater and Kelly are a couple:

* "The Gift", where Screech is electrocuted and given psychic powers, which [[HighSchoolHustler Zack]] naturally exploits:
** When their MotorMouth history teacher Mr. Testaverde (nicknamed "Terrible Testaverde" due to his difficult course and who is played by John Moschitta Jr., a.k.a., the [=FedEx=] and Micro Machines guy) is giving the lesson, the antics of the classroom in trying to keep up is as follow:
*** Screech is seen writing with two pencils simultaneously.
*** Jessie is struggling to take notes (albeit with her [[EightiesHair massive hair in the way)]] and is writing so fast, that ''smoke'' is soon emanating from her notebook.
*** Both Slater and Zack eventually RageQuit in trying to take notes with the latter even putting on his headphones and reading a Wrestling magazine.
*** Mr. Testaverde's nonsequitor comments, of those that can be made out, includes "Stay back you, coward!" and "The Boston tea party, without sugar, lemon, or cream!"
** Zack attempts to cheat his way to getting an A and fools the girls into thinking he had the answers, namely to get with Kelly and to win a bet with Slater. It goes as well as you think: Slater and Screech do well because they actually studied, Kelly gets a C-, Lisa gets a D+, Jessie gets a B, which devastates her so badly that she ''faints'' (and has to be carried out by her friends) and Slater proudly displays Zack's FMinusMinus, "for scamming!".
** When Screech loses his abilities, his answers are hilariously wrong. He sees Martha Washington Film/DirtyDancing with Creator/PatrickSwayze, sees The Battle of Saratoga as ''The Battle of the Network Stars'' and believes that [[UsefulNotes/AbrahamLincoln Lincoln]] freed the ''Japanese''.
