'''Daniel:''' Just, uh, stay with me, okay? So, Art, you were a tough kid. You know, kind of a real... rapscallion. You had a dog, a real '''tough''' dog, a ''brutish'' breed, like a real... I wanna say... Ben the bulldog.\\
'''Tressler:''' Actually, I was a prissy little tot; I had a fluffy white cat called ''Snuffles''. Ha ha!\\
'''McKinney:'' [[SadTrombone Wah-wah]].\\
'''Daniel:''' Ahh! ''*thumps side of plane, then pauses, remembering it's Tressler's private jet*'' Sorry.\\
'''Jack:''' Okay, wait, let me try one, I can do ''way'' better than that.\\
'''Henley:''' Let him do it!\\
'''Daniel:''' Come on, give me one more time, one more time.
'''Henley:''' He can do ''way'' better than ''that''.
'''Daniel:''' Family. Let's do family. You had an, uncle? On your mother's side. He had a real, kind of... a real masculine name, a real, kind of... salt-of-the-earth, you know, a real stick-it-to-you, like it was, uhh, some kind of Paul. Thompson? Was it a Paul... ''*sighs*'' Okay, you know what, I got nothin'.\\
'''Tressler:''' Nearly though.\\
'''Daniel:''' Was I?\\
'''Tressler:''' Yeah! My uncle's name was ''Cushman Armitage''. ''*laughs*''\\
'''Daniel:''' ''Really?'' Snuffles and Cushman Armitage, that was your childhood.\\

'''Tressler:''' It is, however, the first time you've been threatened by '''me'''. ''*impales figurine on protruding nail*''\\

'''Tressler:''' I? Was a hundred-and-forty-million dollar. Distraction?
'''Thaddeus:''' Yes. And that very ego that got you involved with them in the first place is what keeps you from seeing that.
'''Tressler:''' You know--

'''Henley:''' He can do ''way'' better than ''that''.
'''Daniel:''' Family. Let's do family. You had an, uncle? On your mother's side. He had a real, kind of... a real masculine name, a real, kind of... salt-of-the-earth, you know, a real stick-it-to-you, like it was, uhh, some kind of Paul. Thompson? Was it a Paul... ''*sighs*'' Okay, you know what, I got nothin'.\\
'''Tressler:''' Nearly though.\\
'''Daniel:''' Was I?\\
'''Tressler:''' Yeah! My uncle's name was ''Cushman Armitage''. ''*laughs*''\\
'''Daniel:''' ''Really?'' Snuffles and Cushman Armitage, that was your childhood.\\
'''Tressler:''' I certainly hope tonight's show is gonna be better than this. [''magicians glance at each other'']
'''Daniel:''' Don't worry. Oh, just you wait.

->''You're missing the big picture here, Dylan. There is a place, in Paris, ''Pont des Arts''. Sometimes in the mornings I, sit on a bench there, and I watch the people make a wish and lock it in a lock on the bridge. Then, throw the key into the ''Seine''. ...All day they do this. Mothers, lovers, old men, watching the key sink into the water and... their secret is locked away forever. Real and, at the same time, magical.''

'''Thaddeus:''' Either you have a Cease-and-Desist - which you don't - or you should leave.\\
'''Tressler:''' If I want something to cease. Or. Desist. ...It does.\\
'''Hermia:''' Take five. [''film crew leaves room'']\\
'''Tressler:''' According to your potential backers, you stand to make two-and-a-half million, ''tops'', from your best special. I have here, a check ''*places check on table*'' for three-and-a-half million.\\
'''Thaddeus:''' To walk away?
'''Tressler:''' To ''fly'' away. My jet is at your disposal.\\
'''Thaddeus:''' Let's not kid ourselves, Mr. Tressler. You're in this to ride them up, I'm in it to ride them down.\\
'''Tressler:''' I take it that we do not have a deal. And therein lies our conflict. ''*picks up check and holds it to candle flame*'' Let me be blunt. My bank account is much, much bigger than yours, and my lawyers... are much stronger. And they... ''*picks up creepy figurine from table*'' will '''manacle'' you, with so many injunctions, until you stand by hopelessly watching everything that you own drain away... in front of your greedy, little eyes.\\
'''Thaddeus:''' This isn't the first time I've been threatened.\\
'''Tressler:''' It is, however, the first time you've been threatened by '''me'''. ''*impales figurine on protruding nail*''\\
'''Thaddeus:''' Oops! You shouldn't'a done ''that''. According to superstition, one who uses a doll to enact one's own wrath is likely to bring that ''very wrath'' unto himself.\\
'''Tressler:''' Isn't that funny? And I thought you didn't believe in magic.

->''What is magic? Our argument: nothing but targeted deception. So I want you to look. Look as closely as possible. Because the tricks you are about to see may not seem connected. But we assure you they are. Is what follows one hundred different tricks? Or is it one, giant illusion?''

->'''Henley:''' ''*carrying white rabbit*'' And now, for one of the oldest tricks in the book - Danny, if you wouldn't mind opening up the box and showing everybody that it's completely empty. [...] I'm gonna take sweet little Fluffy here, and put her inside this ''mystery'' box.\\
[...]\\
'''Daniel:''' And now, you will say the magic word:\\
'''Henley:''' Ah, abracadabra.\\
'''Daniel:''' Yes, and I will wave this magic wand, for no reason, ''*waves wand over box, then tosses it behind him*'' and then ''*opens box*'' Fluffy has magically vanished before your very eyes.

->'''Thaddeus:''' If it makes you feel any better, this wasn't about you.\\
'''Tressler:''' Please tell me why this was '''not''' about '''me'''.\\
'''Thaddeus:''' This is a magic trick, Mr. Tressler. Played out on a global scale. You sir are the... abracadabra. The distraction, while they set up the real trick.
'''Tressler:''' I? Was a hundred-and-forty-million dollar. Distraction?
'''Thaddeus:''' Yes. And that very ego that got you involved with them in the first place is what keeps you from seeing that.
'''Tressler:''' You know--
'''Thaddeus:''' "I can destroy you," yes, I do know. But you won't. And you won't destroy them. Whatever this grand trick is, it was designed a long time ago. And I believe that what's about to follow is really going to amaze. So I suggest you sit back, and enjoy your front row seat. You paid ''quite'' a lot of good money for it. ''*stands up and starts to leave*''
'''Tressler:''' Whatever you stand to make--
'''Thaddeus:''' ''*pauses, then sits back down*''
'''Tressler:''' I'll double it, if you expose them now, and destroy them.
'''Thaddeus:''' I stand to make five million.
'''Tressler:''' Am I flinching?
'''Thaddeus:''' ...No you're not.

'''Alma:''' To join the Eye.\\
'''Dylan:''' Come on, don't you think that's a little extreme? I mean, I had to pledge at a fraternity at Rutgers and all they asked from me was to do four beer bongs and put a diaper on a squirrel, so--\\
'''Alma:''' ''*completely confused*'' Wh...what?\\
'''Dylan:''' I like squirrels, I- I'm not a frat guy, it's just-- never mind, I'm an idiot.

->'''Thaddeus:''' You do understand the function of the magician's assistant, don't you, Agent Rhodes?\\
'''Dylan:''' Yeah, she's there to distract 'em while he sets up the trick.\\
'''Thaddeus:''' ''*chuckles*'' Well, you'd be ''right'' if you weren't so ''wrong''. While you're watching the magician, that lovely innocent is actually pulling the strings.

'''Daniel:''' Yeah.\\
'''McKinney:''' Uh, as our... let's call it, year of, living dangerously comes to a close, in a... rare moment of vulnerability I'd like to express a... sentiment to you about our relationship.\\
'''Daniel:''' Okay.\\
'''McKinney:''' Well when I first met you, I thought you were kind of a... dick.\\
'''Daniel:''' Huh! Oh.
'''Henley:''' And?
'''McKinney:''' ''*glances around*'' No no, that's it.\\
'''Daniel:''' That's very nice. I'm touched.\\
'''McKinney:''' Yeah. Just... from the heart.\\
'''Daniel:''' Well, I didn't tell you were I was touched.\\

->'''Dylan:''' Explain, then. Wh-who's behind all this?\\
'''Thaddeus:''' Somebody with an obsession! Meticulous!\\
'''Dylan:''' Who?\\
'''Thaddeus:''' Somebody prepared to sacrifice everything. Somebody '''so''' prepared to lose, that they wouldn't even be a suspect until the trick was done.\\
'''Dylan:''' I don't want a profile, I need a ''name''. Who? '''Who?'''\\
'''Thaddeus:''' I don't ''know'' '''who!''' But they had to have access to the warehouse. Plant the mirrors. Always a step ahead of me. ''And'' the FBI. Got past them not ''once'', not ''twice'', but consistently. [[spoiler:Almost as if they were on the in--]]
