S1 E15Unfinished Business

[Adam is disabling the elevator's safety brake for the experiment.]

Anticlimactically enough, I believe I've disabled the entire mechanism by removing this simple pin.

[After Buster falls down the elevator.]

I believe this is more damage than we've ever done to Buster in one myth before.

A few of the guys from CHPs [California Highway Patrol] are on-hand to oversee the experiment. If anything does beat the radar, they wanna know about it.

[Kari just fired off the fire-extinguisher chaff gun.]

[to police officer] Which is gonna be more expensive: the speeding ticket or the littering ticket?

CCHP Officer

[laughs] The littering ticket.

The only thing that gave us any result, but just barely, was my favorite—And I think you'll like this one, Adam...the Radar Wheel of Death! [The Build Team plonks it in front of Adam.]

[laughs] Oh my god!

[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.

So 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?

RLRob Lee (US Narrator)

Adam removes 5 plywood sheets from the 12 available.

[Adam breaks a sheet of wood veneer.]

Screw.

RLRob Lee (US Narrator)

Uhh - make that 11.

One tore, bringing it out...trying to get it out of the way of Jay the cameraman!

[Buster is dropped 60 feet to the ground. He lands with a solid thud.]

[laughs] I was laying on the ground when he hit, and I felt the ground move a little bit.

I never get tired of doing that.

[Adam's Plywood Parachute is about to be tested.]

RLRob Lee (US Narrator)

These rigs represent three days of skill, passion, and effort. Pity, really.

[The parachute fails miserably.]

Well, a fat lot of good that did.

RLRob Lee (US Narrator)

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.

[Jamie's design falls to the ground, hitting the surface on its side and snapping into pieces. Buster thuds to the ground loudly as Adam begins laughing hysterically.]

[laughs] Whoooo!!!

Do you feel better now?

I do, I feel a lot better.

[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 flying over Jamie on a zip-line.]

AAAAAAAOOOOOOOOOO! I fart on you!
