Jessica: Only up until 24, then he just wrote the word "bagina" over and over again. Wendy: "Ba-gina?" Jessica: Hey, I'm not going to be the one to tell him.

- Andy: (on letting him win) All the other mentors are fine with it. Jessica: Most of the other mentors are working off drunk driving convictions. They wouldn't know Silbert Danforth if he bounced off their windshield.
