George Fraley: Wouldn't higher fences be a lot cheaper?
MacGyver: Well, not really. The Mentor Program doesn't cost anything.

Tony Milani: What if I'm not interested?
MacGyver: Than that's your choice. If this is really what you want for yourself, great, that's no crime. But if it isn't, if you wake up thirty years from now and all you are is thirty years older, that is a crime.
