[The '67 Impala they just bought has broken down on an onramp.]
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.
Some of last season's fashions are packed around his legs.
(in a strange accent) I told you no colors with the whites!
Who'da thought? Cheap car, dud battery.
It 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...
Adam removes 5 plywood sheets from the 12 available.
[Adam breaks a sheet of wood veneer.]
Screw.
Uhh - make that 11.
One tore, bringing it out...trying to get it out of the way of Jay the cameraman!
[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.
You're probably right. But then you never know.
[nods] But then you never know.
[a trailer just before a commercial]
Next, In his quest to build the ultimate plywood parachute, Adam Savage...screws up.
[after ruining a part of plywood] Oh, *beep*!
[Adam drops a toaster into the test tub. The flash pot goes off, indicating a fatal shock.]
Whoa...
Our friend here is...toast.
Oh yeah: 12 milliamps. Toasters—no good.
That means the first stop is a hay store.
Uh, otherwise known as a farm.
Ah, the hay store.
I can see the cut now, "Hey! We'll be drinking mimosas in an hour or two."...
[in a flashback clip] We'll be, like, sipping mimosas on the beach...
...Cut to, "6 hours later, Adam's team is still going at it."
6 hours later, Adam's team is still going at it.
"They've found two needles..."
They've found two needles...
"But still have the smallest needle and the bone needle to go."
But still have the smallest needle and the bone needle to go.
This is adding some magnets to the front end of our feed trough. These are super strong neodymium magnets. And see if we can't pick the needle out at the very beginning.
You just had your finger on it!
Good idea. Jamie thought of it ages ago.
And in the pouch, well, let's just say a sample of genetic legacy has been obtained and dyed blue for easier visibility.
Genetic legacy? IT'S SPERM! Any kid in grade school knows that! Helps make babies, you know?
[Shortly after Buster hits the ground from 400 feet.]
Small crash-test dummies, friends and family of Buster may find the following pictures disturbing.
[seeing Buster's remains] Oh no! Oh, my God! Oh, crime-iny!
"Criminy"? So shocked he makes up a new word.
I think I'm calling the local fire department and seeing if they have any Simulaids.
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.
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.
[censored]
Let me see that pulley there...
The biggest crash in MythBusters history, and he wants to see the pulley??
[The tow rope has snapped, and a semi truck is now off course and out of control]
How do we stop this thing?
That's a very good question... with no answer.
