Pete: Now quite simply, the Mentor Program pinpoints the potential dropout before it's too late, and then assigns two positive role models who take a very active and personal interest in his or her scholastic career.
George Fraley: Wouldn't higher fences be a lot cheaper?
MacGyver: Well, not really. The Mentor Program doesn't cost anything.
Pete: Just a little time and a lot of old-fashioned caring.

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.
