  • Tony: Your rust is better than some people's best! []
  • Tony: You see Frank was an escape artist as well as being a magician. You see his wrists, you see how clenched they are. Tension. Muscle expansion. That's an old method used by escape artists. I think he could get out of those bonds in about oh, an instant, huh? []
  • Hayden: Very impressive. And what do you call yourself, Mr. Blake? Well, I wasn't trying to be facetious. I always thought magicians call themselves something like, "The Great So and So" or "So and So the Great." []
