Recap

It's a dark and stormy night and MacGyver is at home working on a chemical experiment: developing a non-alcoholic version of eggnog. His grandfather Harry comes in out of the storm to meet for the hockey game that MacGyver invited him to come to. Harry isn't impressed with the eggnog, but notes that it's December 14, and that it's been twenty-five years. MacGyver notes that he's glad that Harry's there with him this year and they share a toast...

Episode Quotes
MacGyver: When I was about ten, I got my first chemistry set. I've been a beaker-and-test-tube nut ever since. My mom said I was gonna come up with a formula that would either improve the world or blow up the house.

Harry: I don't think we're going to make it to that game.
MacGyver: Come on, Harry, be positive.
Harry: I'm positive we ain't going to make it to that game.

Harry: What the hell's going on? Why are they shooting at us?
MacGyver: I guess those tickets are hotter than I thought.

Fred: That's the bomb? It looks like a little suitcase.
Victoria James: Yes, well I find it more convenient then a brown paper bag. What's your name, anyway?
Fred: Fred. But you said you didn't want to know our names.
Victoria James: Yours I want to remember.

Fred: Why are you doing this? Just for the money?
Victoria James: No, Fred. Not just for the money. For the chance to work with pros like you.

Victoria James: Normally I wouldn't have to tell anyone this. But stand very still.
Fred: You mean it could go off? (Victoria glares at him) I'm a statue.

(Victoria draws a gun)
Phillips: What's the idea?
Victoria James: My agreement with the Liberation Front is that you're all expendable. Besides that, you annoy me.
