Adam Savage quotes from MythBusters

Adam

That's not a pirate thing! That's a tumbleweed! On ya go...

Adam

(pretending to be a pirate) What do ya mean we got no more cannonballs?!

Adam

I just had one of those "what the hell are we doing" moments!

Adam

There we go, oh, they're hideous!

Adam

Arise, my son!

Jamie

These are actually more powerful than the JATOs—

Adam

But they're smaller; how's that possible?

Jamie

Well, we're gonna use more of them.

Adam

We are 8.5 miles from where we bought the car.

It's 100 degrees, we're three hours from the shop, and—thanks to a blocked fuel filter—our rocket car is doing exactly…zero miles per hour. Thank goodness Adam's got the gold breakdown package.

Jamie

She'll have a huge hicky!

Adam

A huge butt hicky. It is hard to explain.

Some of last season's fashions are packed around his legs.

Adam

(in a strange accent) I told you no colors with the whites!

Jamie

Since he's already dirty, he's been kind enough to...spare me.

Adam

That's how his shirt stays white. I do all the dirty work!

Adam

(very fast): Jamie! Jamie! Can I try it this time? Can I blow the bullet up? can I? Can I? really I can try.

Jamie

Shut up and set the bullet off.

Jamie

Hi, we're here to buy a trombone.

Sure, for a student?

Adam

Well no, actually we want to blow it up.

You want to blow it up? [pauses] We have some used ones.

Adam

[trying to make Buster stand in front of the trombone] It's like trying to make a dead man stand.

Better not ask why Adam knows that.

Jamie

Feel better now?

Adam

I do feel better.

Jamie

Good for you.

Jamie

Adam doesn't know it yet, but he's digging his own grave.

Adam

What's that?

Jamie

What? Nothing.
