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?
'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.
I've got a Boxer rocket, and I'm gonna fire it!
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.]
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.]
[giggling] I'm still not touching anything!

Uh-oh, backhoe time!
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.
[Adam and Jamie have just test-fired a rocket inside the workshop. The most obvious result is a lot of smoke.]

We clearly have ignition... but what the hell's going on in there?
[Inside, there is lots of smoke and several small fires.]
Not so much "fire in the hole" as fire in the whole shop !
[Kari mixes two ingredients to gun cotton, with the ingredients replaced by a donkey bray and a rooster cackle respectively (to conceal just what those ingredients are)].

So when you add "donkey" to "rooster", you got a violent reaction.
A lot of things would have to go right for that plan to work...
[Following a near-disaster with a semi]
What was your plan for stopping these things?
Well, there wasn't really a plan...
RL Rob Lee (US Narrator)
We've got ourselves a runaway (semi). Uhhh... Run away!
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)
Did you actually think we were going to confirm this one?
This myth, much like the two trucks, and the car, is totally busted.
Let me see that pulley there...
RL Rob Lee (US Narrator)
The biggest crash in MythBusters history, and he wants to see the pulley??
Some nice toggles! I'm saving those!
Dude, you're salvaging in the middle of a rescue operation?!
Why else do you think I got into this line of work?
