'''Amita:''' Floss is sold in containers of 20 to 150 yards... (gets questioning glances) I'm an informed shopper.<br />
'''Charlie:''' Just eyeballing the density of this rope, I'm thinking it's gotta be... 18, maybe 19 thousand feet.<br />
'''Larry:''' 3 and a half miles of dental floss, even assuming an average container size of 50 yards...<br />
'''Amita:''' Mm, 127 rolls of floss.<br />

'''Ian:''' I thought it was an airplane?!<br />
'''Charlie:''' Oh well, cats and dogs work better now. }}
* An episode in season 5, where the whole episode was rather bizarre (they were looking for a specific pair of ''shoes'', for christ sake! Well, the shoes ''were'' worth like a quarter of a million dollars, but anyway...), but all of the wtf-ness of the episode was made up for entirely when at the end of the episode, when they've finally pinned the shoes. {{spoiler|The dude who stole them goes into his closet, takes out a box... and doesn't find them there. They then hear footsteps outside... and find out that the thief's son was ''wearing'' them, in the '''rain'''. Apparently he thought they were a birthday present. The thief says, "New shoes... $250,000...". One of the agents then replies, "A smile on your kid's face: Priceless".}}
