Alfred Borden:
He's prograsive, he's predictable, he's boring. I mean, Milton's got success, whatever that means, and now he's scared, he won't take any risks at all. I mean, he's squandering the goodwill of the audience with these tired, second-rate tricks...
Robert Angier:
They're all favorites, please...
Alfred Borden:
Favorites? come on, give me something fresh, he wont even try a bloody bullet catch!
Cutter:
A bullet-catch is suicide, all it takes is some smart-ass volunteer to put a button in the barrel
Alfred Borden:
Fine, use a plant!
Robert Angier:
You can't use plants for every trick!
Julia McCullough:
There'll be no seats left for the punters! [laughs]
Alfred Borden:
Fine, no bullet-catch, whatever, but the point is... a real magician, tries to invent something new, that other magicians are gonna scratch their heads over, you know?
Cutter:
Right, then you sell it to him for a small fortune?
Alfred Borden:
Alright...
Cutter:
I suppose you have such a trick?
Alfred Borden:
Actually, I do.
