00:14 You're not afraid to get your hands dirty anymore
00:08 It was the greatest magic trick I've ever seen
00:14 I thought you said I'd have to get my hands dirty
00:21 500 gallons
00:08 Where are the wires
00:09 My passion is equal to the task
00:06 The man stole my life
00:11 Not knowing if I'd be the man in the box
00:13 He's perfect
00:38 Your honor
00:10 Did you think you were unique
00:10 No more secrets
00:09 If you knew the world half as well as I do

00:10 Does he enjoy taking his bows under the stage
00:19 At the turn
00:13 That's the price of a good trick
00:47 I can't live like this
00:41 Every magic trick consists of three parts
00:04 But not easy
00:22 I love you
00:07 Society tolerates only one change at a time
00:44 I apologize for leaving without saying goodbye
00:14 We both had half of a full life
00:38 What do you mean
00:40 You married her
00:12 Nothing is impossible
00:12 Man's grasp exceeds his nerve
