J. Daniel Atlas: What is magic? Magic is deception, but deception designed to delight, to entertain, to inspire. It is about belief. Faith.

Henley Reeves: Trust.

Merritt McKinney: Without those qualities, magic as an art form would no longer exist.

Henley Reeves: But what happens if these qualities are not used for their higher purpose? And instead they're used to cheat, lie.

J. Daniel Atlas: For personal gain, or for greed? Well then it's no longer magic.

Merritt McKinney: It's crime.

Henley Reeves: So tonight, for our final act, you're gonna help us set a few things right.

Merritt McKinney: Um... Allow me to make plain what we've both been thinking.

Henley Reeves: And what's that?

Merritt McKinney: Well, obviously you have feelings of affection for Daniel. Unrequited and misguided, owing to his lack of emotional availability. Consequently, you're very tightly... how should I put it? Um... corked.

Henley Reeves: Oh, I am?

Merritt McKinney: Now, recognizing that you have physical needs not being met, and strictly in the vein of helping a sister out, I invite you to think of me as your own personal corkscrew.

Henley Reeves: Wow, thanks. Let me mull over that offer of cheap and meaningless sex.

Merritt McKinney: Cheap and meaningless, maybe, but, uh, not time-consuming.

Merritt McKinney: Do me a favor. Visualize your most adventurous sexual experience.

Henley Reeves: Stay out of my head, you perv!

Merritt McKinney: Well, no, if I stay out of your head, I'm never gonna get into your pants.

Henley Reeves: For our next trick...

J. Daniel Atlas: We are going to rob a bank.
