edit- [After being fooled by a trick with envelopes]
- Penn: It's just silly, it's not really supposed to fool us![1]
- [After a trick involving bags and a nail]
- Penn: Magicians that do things that are truly dangerous are immoral, that's wrong to do, and I'm hoping that the producers would never allow this on this show and I believe they would not. That being said, we don't think there's any chance involved in this whatsoever.
- [During a helium bag trick]
- Penn: Are you okay in there, Teller?
- Teller: (In a high pitched voice) Yes, I am Penn.
- Penn: Now you've heard Teller speak on stage.
