[Kari dresses a dummy with a bra]

Jamie

Did she come with a bra?

We want it to be decent, this is a family show.

Jamie

Where did you get the bra? Did you give her yours?

No!

Well, that ought to silence most of our detractors on this one... but I expect we'll still get some complaints.

Jamie

Yeah, like you didn't use a cannon, or something...

[Jamie has just suggested getting an RPG to blow up a car.]

That'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.

Jamie

And we're fine with that!

[Adam drops and then picks up a sandwich.]

Whoops! I picked it up within 3 seconds... would you eat it?

Jamie

I wouldn't eat it just because you handled it.

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...

Jamie

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?

Jamie

...Nothing.

'De Nile (denial) is a river in Africa.

C'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.

Jamie

[censored]

Jamie

I don't know, but I think that's one of the rockets, and, judging by the size of the hole, I - I think it's mine.

[He gestures toward a large hole in the dirt.]

Jamie

I don't know, I'll see if I can feel the end of it…

[He reaches a full arm's length in the hole.]

Jamie

[giggling] I'm still not touching anything!

CMCrew member

Uh-oh, backhoe time!

Jamie

Let me see that pulley there...

RLRob Lee (US Narrator)

The biggest crash in MythBusters history, and he wants to see the pulley??

[Adam is seeing Jamie's version of the crossbow for the first time.]

Dude, if the full draw of the bow makes it collapse, is candy gonna pour out?

Jamie

Adam's, you could use as a club and it'd probably be just fine; you could still shoot it.

Jamie

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.

I can imagine the scene... [mimicking Jamie] Why... why, thank you, father...

[after Prof. Wallace requests Jamie to move the ship directly in front of the mirror array]

Jamie

So holding still isn't good enough? We have to move into the line of fire?

WProfessor Wallace

Shut up, you lazy Roman pig, and do as you're told!
