When Ryan asks who is escorting him to the after party, Danny quickly points at Kris & says you first.
"You, you are John Conner from the future"
"Next year, I hope the two finalists are finally David Gergen and Candy Crowley!"
Ryan Seacrest thinks, "Is My Contract over yet?"
Wow, you're the winner and in 5 years we'll both be flipping burgers!
You're the winner, but I'm the real superstar!

Adam Lambert, dressed as a young Mr. Spock, tries to 'beam' Kris Allen off of the stage.
(Seacrest)" ok pal back up ! Don't you know this show is about me?"
"I didn't say Kara DioGuardi wrote a boring, insipid, contrived song of the most shameless treacle...Kris did!"
Ryan Seacrest deep in thought... I still can't believe that anyone watches this stuff.
Seacrest: "Ok buddy. You had you're day in the sun, now beat it."
