Episode Quotes
MacGyver: Three and a half weeks, two continents, one island, about 9,000 miles, and I was wasted. Right now I was looking forward to miles and miles of nothing happening except sleep.
MacGyver: Jack, the answer is no: no rescue missions, no buried treasure, no sunken gold, no oil wells. No!
Jack Dalton: The plane's there. We're signed up.
MacGyver: What about her flight crew?
Jack: Lost. Strayed. Stolen. Who cares?
MacGyver: What about her flight crew?
Jack: Lost. Strayed. Stolen. Who cares?
MacGyver: What are you going to do with those jewels?
Elena Iturbe: Well, then. Exhibit them, sell them for a profit, anything I choose. You would probably give them to a campaign for hunger.
MacGyver: Yeah.
Elena Iturbe: And save a few lives. For what? Six months? A year? Until they breed more starving children and the money runs out. And then what?
MacGyver: Then you’d have bought another year. You can do a lot in a year.

MacGyver: Yeah.

MacGyver: Then you’d have bought another year. You can do a lot in a year.
Jack Dalton: Here they come. I anticipate champagne, flashbulbs, and with any luck, local beauty queens panting after my highly-trained pilot’s body.
Leann Auber: Dalton? He’s an ex-smuggler with the ethics of a weasel.
MacGyver: Yeah… but he’s still my friend.
MacGyver: Yeah… but he’s still my friend.
Jack Dalton: You! You had me slugged.
Pete: No, as a matter of fact I didn’t. But it’s not a bad thought. What I did was put out a reward to have you brought in.
Jack: I’m touched. As a matter of fact, I’m bruised.
Pete: No, as a matter of fact I didn’t. But it’s not a bad thought. What I did was put out a reward to have you brought in.
Jack: I’m touched. As a matter of fact, I’m bruised.
Pete: Jack, having you as a friend is a little bit like owning a pet disease.
Jack Dalton: Why Pete, old pal, are you trying to hint you’re upset?
Jack Dalton: Why Pete, old pal, are you trying to hint you’re upset?
Max: It might be difficult.
Jack Dalton: Money’s no object.
Pete: Jack!
Max: In that case, two of them have already checked out of their hotels.
Pete: You didn’t tell me that.
Max: You didn’t mention that money was no object.
Jack Dalton: Money’s no object.
Pete: Jack!
Max: In that case, two of them have already checked out of their hotels.
Pete: You didn’t tell me that.
Max: You didn’t mention that money was no object.
Jack Dalton: What’s the plan?
Pete: All right. I play Bauman, I get us past their security… oh my God. I’m going to have to trust you.
Pete: All right. I play Bauman, I get us past their security… oh my God. I’m going to have to trust you.
