Episode Quotes |
| |
MacGyver: That's when I usually get a call; when somebody's in trouble and needs some rescuing.
| MacGyver: Ah, what a life I lead. Riding the rapids in the Pyrenees Mountains one day, and the next crossing half the world to help out a friend with a very weird problem in a very strange part of the Amazon. I think I should get an unlisted phone number.
| Lucien Trumbo: I don't waste time on the impossible.
| MacGyver: Well, I don't know how good ants are at swimming, but I'd be willing to bet a good fire would get their attention.
| Lucien Trumbo: We're out of gasoline, and we're out of miracles.
MacGyver: So now's the time to start thinking.
