MacGyver: My hometown had grown up a whole lot in the years since I'd been back. But comin' home was still like reachin' into a grab-bag full of memories, some of them good, some of them not so good. The decisions we make shape our lives. When I was a kid, I made a bad decision about a gun, and my life was never the same.

Chuck: Don't start, MacGyver. Everybody has a right to defend themselves. If he doesn't buy it from me, he'll just buy it someplace else.
MacGyver: Well, now that's original; did you come up with that yourself?

Danny: I still remember that homemade volcano you showed me how to make.
MacGyver: Oh yeah, did you get it to work?
Chuck: We had to repaint the kitchen.

Neil Ryder: My name is Ryder. I'm a cop. I carry a badge.
MacGyver: My name's MacGyver. I'm his partner. I carry everything else. Dragnet—the show that made you what you are today, huh, Neil?
Neil Ryder: Nah. I couldn't get in the Army.

Danny: I might need it to scare 'em off.
MacGyver: It never stops there, Danny! You got a gun; things happen. People die!

Sean Ryder: Danny is my best friend.
MacGyver: I don't think you have friends anymore. You have sources!
