MacGyver: I had this contract with Pete Thornton's outfit that says I take only those jobs I wanna take. Now, you'd think I'd say "no" once in a while. Especially when Pete wants to put me in the middle of the ocean to babysit a bomb.
Carole Tanner: Tell me, Mr. MacGyver. Would you want to know that a very good possibility exists that you could die a violent death some time during the next three hours?
MacGyver: Yes, ma'am, I would.
MacGyver: Yes, ma'am, I would.
MacGyver: It's not technology, it's… art.
Pete: Art?!? MacGyver, it's a damn bomb!
MacGyver: You just lack artistic taste.
