      • Alton: (finishing a tying demonstration) Now, you're ready to either cook it or try it out on your mom and tie her to the railroad tracks. That's fun, too.

      • Alton: Well you know, I've been thinking about knives lately. Have you ever been like tying up a roast and you try to cut the butcher's twine with a knife? Customer: No. Alton: Well, It'll leave you in stitches! Hahaha!

      • Customer: Hey, is that Alton Brown over there? W: Who? Customer: The guy from the cool show on the Food Network. W: I didn't think he was so fat. And balding.

      • Alton: Despite a reputation for fussiness, all roulades follow a very simple set of rules. Learn the rules, arm yourself with some righteous tools and some sound science, and you can readily wrangle the spiral of joy into the realm we call Good Eats.

      • Chorus: Stuffing is evil! Alton: No, I'm not talking about stuffing. I'm talking about a thin layer of goodness, a strata [sic] if you like, evenly distributed through the food, not a big nasty handful of breadcrumbs forced up the backside of some poor turkey!
