Ray Magliozzi:
You know, it's a good thing there are smart folks like Lee working on this. If they had to depend on folks like you and me, it'd take CENTURIES.

Ray Magliozzi:
[strolling with Tom among the shiny new cars and the elegantly-dressed ladies who are posing with the cars] I thought you were interested in these models.

Tom Magliozzi:
I am.

Ray Magliozzi:
[chidingly] I meant the CARS!

Andy Frank:
We're hoping that this plug-in hybrid vehicle concept will encourage the installation and use of personal wind and personal solar energy systems.

Ray Magliozzi:
My brother's been responsible for a lot of personal wind - - it's mostly wind that we hear from him.

Tom Magliozzi:
[inspecting an enormous gleaming engine - - probably for an H2 or similar gas-guzzling SUV - - that is on display with several others] Looks like my MG!

Ray Magliozzi:
[laughs] Yeah, right!

Tom Magliozzi:
Not the MG engine - - the WHOLE MG!

Ray Magliozzi:
This is an absurd amount of horsepower to have in anything, I should think.

Tom Magliozzi:
[disgustedly] Ridiculous!

Ray Magliozzi:
But -...

Tom Magliozzi:
And STUPID!

Ray Magliozzi:
But people wanna buy them, and -...

Tom Magliozzi:
They're WACKOS!

Rick Potts:
Not in innocence and not in asia was mankind born.

Charles Mattias 'Matt' Mountain:
Telescopes are time machines. We're seeing photons that actually started their journey thirteen billion years ago and have taken that long to traverse interstellar space to us. And so you're not only looking out into space, you're looking back in time.

Himself - Host:
No landscape is permenant.

Craig Sechler:
The airforce is now training more remote fighters than manned fighter and bomber pilots combined.

James Randi:
The trickster never works alone. His audience assists him.

James Randi:
Magical thinking, you know, is a slippery slope. Sometimes it's harmless enough, but other times it's quite dangerous. Now personally I'm opposed to that kind of fakery, so I have no reservations at all about exposing these people and their illusions for what they really are.
