Episode Quotes
MacGyver: You are a nightmare, you know that. First you pull off a week of my life hunting up cheap pottery in every tourist trap from Tampico to Tijuana. Then you just about get us killed. I can't believe it.
Jack Dalton: I can't believe you would dump my entire life's savings all over the Sierra Madre.
MacGyver: I had to dump the cargo or we would have ended up scattered all over Mexico.
Jack Dalton: Oh come on, Mac, it was just a little downdraft. We weren't that close to the trees. (MacGyver pulls branch off of plane wheel) I had the situation completely under control.

George Henderson: Let's talk.
MacGyver: (as Dexter) That's a gun.
George Henderson: That's a car. Let's move it.

Jack Dalton: Okay, okay, you got me. Just no stabbing, or shooting... nothing, nothing that hurts.

MacGyverisms:
* Hooking a microspeaker into an intercom to play back the high-pitched tone it emits
