Burglary- Long one, but funny as helll...edit as needed.
Proven Guilty pages 282-283
"Hey, Murph," I said, "Look at that Zeppelin."
"Hey," Thomas said, "When did you get those?"
"Butters says it's good fot my hand to do physical therapy involving the use of manual dexterity."
"Thomas snorted, "So you started learning to pick locks? I thought you were playing guitar."
"This is simpler," I said, "and it doesn't make dogs start to howling."
"I might have killed you if I'g heard 'House of the Rising Sun' oe more time," Thomas agreed. "Where'd you get the picks?"
I glanced over my shoulder at Murphy and said, "Little bird."
"One of these days, Dresden," Murphy said, still subbornly faced away.
Your Grace, I have only one question. Do you wish this man crippled or dead?

Weapons:
Never be afraid to try unconventional weaponry from Blood Rites Chapter 30
Kincaid reached into the van and presented me with a futuristic-looking weapon, a gun.  It had a round tank the size of a gumball machine attatched to the frame, and for a second I thought I had been handed a pistol sized flame thrower.  Then I recognized it, cleared my throat and said, "This is a paintball gun."

Effects of holy water on Black Court Vampires from Blood Rites Chapter 33
...they splattered into Mavra, sizzling viciously.  Silver fire immediately began chewing at her flesh wherever the paintballs struck and broke.  It ripped into her and happened fast, as if some hyper kinetic gourmet were taking a melon baller to her chest.

Here are a few for Scholarship

SK ch10
"Bob, wake up," I said, lighting candles. "I need to pick your brain."

DB ch3
"Bob," I said as I climbed down into the pitch-dark lab. "Warm up the memory banks. I've got work to do."

DB ch 26
"Research," Butters said. "What kind of research?"

SF ch10
Dammit. I was going to have to do that research after all

Lore: "A stuffed animal, man!" I roared at him. "Don't mess with a wizard when he's wizarding!" - FM 184

Weapons: "I took out a few wizardly implements: my blasting rod, the replacement for my sheild bracelet, and one other thing that no wizard should be without. A Smith and Wesson .38 Chief's Special." - FM 37

I do hope you mean a Smith & Wesson .38 Cheif's special, and not a really small hotel. ;oP

Heres one from Fool Moon, pg314-15 (Rapport)
"You do know it's right beneath you now, don't you John?" I asked. "Mr. Dresden," Marcone said crossly, "I've asked you not to call me that." "Whatever." I said, but I had to admire the raw courage of a man to banter while dangling up there like a ripe peach.

I think this one could fall under 'Deceit', 'Performance, Creative Communication', or Rapport, Gift of Gab'

Weapons- "There was a whooshing sound, a spinning shape, and then an ax--a freaking double-bladed ax--buried itself to the eye in the ghoul's flank."

I'll look for more later when I have access to all the books.
"People who are rather more than six feet tall and nearly as broad across the shoulders often have uneventful journeys. People jump out at them from behind rocks then say things like, 'Oh. Sorry. I thought you were someone else.'"

Presence:

from Blood Rites, Chapter 12
Thinking back later, I couldn't clearly remember her facial features or her body, beyond a notion that they were superb.  Her looks were almost ertraneous.  They weren't any more important to her appeal than a glass was to wine.  It was at it's best when invisible and showing the spirit contained within.  Beyond mere physical presence, I could sense the nature of the woman-strength of will, intelligence, blended with a sardonic wit and edged with a lazy, sensuous hunger.

Fists (or possibly Alertness, if it's used for initiative):
He moved faster than I would have given a man his age credit for. His fist went across my jaw at approximately a million miles an hour, and I spun down to the dirt like a string-cut puppet.

"I'm wanting some more work done," I said "I need information."
"Are you paying in pizza?" Toot asked, his tone hopeful.
"Yes," I said.
"Wah-hoo" Toot shouted...

A few more


Intimidation
Sf ch2
"You don't get in the car, it isn't going to be good for your legs," the man growled.

Performance
SF ch3
Thank God for wisecracks. I was too rattled to have said anything intelligent.

Endurance
FM ch 17
The monster kept coming. The bullets bothered it no more than a fly ramming the forehead of a professional wrestler.
