[Shortly after Buster hits the ground from 400 feet.]
Small crash-test dummies, friends and family of Buster may find the following pictures disturbing.
Adam[seeing Buster's remains] Oh no! Oh, my God! Oh, crime-iny!
"Criminy"? So shocked he makes up a new word.
AdamI think I'm calling the local fire department and seeing if they have any Simulaids.
[Jamie has just suggested getting an RPG to blow up a car.]
AdamThat's the next revisit; someone's gonna write in and say, "you guys should have used an RPG, 'cause that would definitely have blown up the car!" and then we'll go get one of those, and then we'll blow up the car, and then there will be some other problem.
And we're fine with that!
It's a shop... whaddya want?
AdamI wanna be able to eat off the damn floor.
[Adam drops and then picks up a sandwich.]
AdamWhoops! I picked it up within 3 seconds... would you eat it?
I wouldn't eat it just because you handled it.
AdamSo, no french-kissing dogs I think is our conclusion here.
I would be more inclined to say, no french-kissing Adam!
AdamI don't eat my own poo!
While the Boxer makes progress, the Hale is out for the count—because Jamie's made an error of schoolboy proportions, and, to avoid public humiliation...
You know, if I don't talk, you don't get any good TV.
...he's run away from the cameraman.
Adam [of Jamie's welding slip-up]: What happened?
...Nothing.
'De Nile (denial) is a river in Africa.
AdamC'mon, what happened? Did you accidentally weld the thing at the end of your pipe that was supposed to be a screw fitting?
Overzealous welding has sealed his rocket shut - and he's not happy.

[Following a near-disaster with a semi]
AdamWhat was your plan for stopping these things?
Well, there wasn't really a plan...
AdamThis myth, much like the two trucks, and the car, is totally busted.
Boy, is it busted!
AdamSome nice toggles! I'm saving those!
Dude, you're salvaging in the middle of a rescue operation?!
AdamWhy else do you think I got into this line of work?
AdamI have to say, I think there are going to be a lot of jealous fans out there that I'm getting my feet washed by you, Kari.
Now you know you've made it.
[Adam is seeing Jamie's version of the crossbow for the first time.]
AdamDude, if the full draw of the bow makes it collapse, is candy gonna pour out?
Adam's, you could use as a club and it'd probably be just fine; you could still shoot it.
I've always had a fascination with crossbows. I've had this one since I was a teenager. That's why there are no cats left in the neighborhood.
AdamI can imagine the scene... [mimicking Jamie] Why... why, thank you, father...
What in the hell is that thing?!
AdamIt's the disco mirror from hell!
AdamIt amazes me that you still don't realize we're filming a television show.
I'd think we would at least aspire to not be idiots?
AdamAnd yet we would fail.
[The MythBusters have just inflated a football until it burst. Afterwards, Adam puts it on his head.]
So there's your answer. At 110 PSI you'll lose a football, but gain a hat.
What are you doing?
AdamI put everything on my head.
