[Pyrotechnician Jack Morocco is loading an explosive-filled mute into a trombone.]
So how much is in there?

Got a regular Panzerfaust here.
[Adam tips the bridge over, destroying it.]
JamieFeel better now?
I do feel better.
JamieGood for you.
[Adam is digging a hole in front of the workshop to bury pigs for a test.]
JamieAdam doesn't know it yet, but he's digging his own grave.
What's that?
JamieWhat? Nothing.
Who'da thought? Cheap car, dud battery.
JamieIt seems like you have to take the car tire off in order to change the battery. What is the point? Probably because someone built the damn thing in a computer and doesn't have any sense. Piece of crap.
While Jamie curses all things modern...
[Jamie rigs the taxi to be operated remotely.]
I think Jamie and I should drive around and pick people up.
JamieYeah, with nobody in the front seat.
[Jamie is wearing a thermal suit while they're testing a myth on exploding aerosols. He hasn't spoken since he put on the suit.]
You wanna take your hood off and participate in this conversation?
JamieI kinda like it in here. It's private.
[Jamie is deciding whether he is going to pee on the fence]
All those years spent as a political prisoner in South America and they never ONCE attached a battery to your nuts.
JamieWell why do you think I don't want to do it.
Jamie[Adam, after several tries, has finally hit the target] Good shot, Adam.
[little-boy voice] Thank you, Uncle Jamie.
[Adam is pouring beer onto the floor to try and get rid of skunk smell]
JamieWhat...you're doing it all wrong! It's spilling everywhere. You gotta start at the top and move down.
It's hard being Jamie sometimes.
[Jamie and Kari are measuring the height of the elevator shaft.]
Jamie92 feet, to the top of the pulleys.
Uh, 92 feet to the dead bird.
[Jamie laughs]
[Adam makes a miscalculation judging the necessary weight for a ten-inch-tall miniature Buster doll.]
10 inches tall…25 pounds. I just did the math. I need him to weigh 25 pounds.
JamieSo you're saying that he needs to be built out of depleted uranium.
[Laughs.] Do you have some? Is it under "D" or "U" over here?
[Adam's Plywood Parachute is about to be tested.]
These rigs represent three days of skill, passion, and effort. Pity, really.
[The parachute fails miserably.]
Well, a fat lot of good that did.
And that's why they don't make parachutes out of wood.
[to Jamie] I'm taking solace in the fact that your wing is going to fail so utterly spectacularly.
JamieYou're probably right. But then you never know.
[nods] But then you never know.
[After Adam drops the toaster into the bathtub and picks up the curling iron.]
Now it's time for one of my personal favorites, [imitating Pee Wee Herman and making the curling iron look like it's talking] the curling iron! Let's go!
JamieWhat are you? Pee Wee Herman?
Killer quicksand. Is that why I'm standing here in this stupid pith helmet?
JamieNo, you're standing there in that stupid pith helmet because you're an idiot.
Myth totally failed. Completely busted. Totally, completely busted.
And Buster: busted. And boomlift: busted.
JamieAnd everything's busted.
Ground:
busted.
