STORY 1: Luke Wants to Escape from Magic
Like father, like son, Luke has been studying magic but he wants to give up the dark arts. Phil isn't happy with that decision, so he's letting the Great Lukini hang up his cape only if Luke can pull off the infamous trick, the Butler's Escape.

Memorable Quotes:

Claire (trying to convince Phil that Luke can quit magic if he wants to): "Let's play this out. Even if he is one in a million, what's our best case scenario? He becomes what?"
Phil (excitedly) and Claire (reluctantly): "A professional magician!"

Phil (after hanging Luke upside-down for the Butler's Escape): "Trust me, I know what's best for you. Now, watch your timing. In the stage version, the rope's on fire and you're suspended over a bed of nails."

Phil: "There are two things I know with dead certainty: How to shoulder-roll out of a human pyramid and the dark arts of the Butler's Escape."

Gloria: "You told me that you were in Frisco, and you were here in a hotel?"
Jay: "Let me just say one thing. Don't say 'Frisco.' They hate that."

Gloria: "I was thinking. It's such a shame that this hotel room is going to go to waste."
Jay: "I like where this is headed..."
Gloria (snatching Jay's hotel keys and walking away): "Make Manny some pasta. I'll see you tomorrow morning, OK?"
