MythBusters quotes

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.

Jamie

...Nothing.

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

Adam

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]

Adam

I've got a Boxer rocket, and I'm gonna fire it!

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.

Jamie

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

Jamie

[giggling] I'm still not touching anything!

Uh-oh, backhoe time!

Adam

This is where the danger zone happens. When nothing happens for a while, everyone's like "well, let's get closer... let's get closer... let's get closer..." and BOOM! everyone's dead.

We clearly have ignition... but what the hell's going on in there?

Not so much "fire in the hole" as fire in the whole shop!

Adam

Hey, that WORKED!!

So when you add "donkey" to "rooster", you got a violent reaction.

Kari

A lot of things would have to go right for that plan to work...

Adam

What was your plan for stopping these things?

Tory

Well, there wasn't really a plan...

We've got ourselves a runaway (semi). Uhhh... Run away!

Adam

I'm a little sad because it didn't go exactly as planned. We may have to revisit this one - but WOW!!! (They did revisit it several seasons later)

Kari

Did you actually think we were going to confirm this one?

Adam

This myth, much like the two trucks, and the car, is totally busted.

Jamie

Boy, is it busted!

Jamie

Let me see that pulley there...

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

Adam

Some nice toggles! I'm saving those!

Grant

Dude, you're salvaging in the middle of a rescue operation?!

Adam

Why else do you think I got into this line of work?
