Staccato Mamba
The name of your grand daughter if you are Billy Gibbons on a T.V. show. Unless T.J. Thyne can help it.
Are you serious?
Hodgins (TJ Thyne): So the name that came to you?
Angela’s dad (Billy Gibbons): It could work for either a boy or a girl, that’s the beauty part.
Hodgins: Great.
Angela’s dad: Staccato Mamba.
Hodgins: Staccato Mamba? Yeah, I didn’t see that one coming.
