Episode Quotes
MacGyver: Where're the boys?
Ma Colton: Well, Frank and Jesse got called on a big-job bail case. Right in the middle of the family reunion. And my mother won't let Billy come just now. Do you know, he had nerve enough to tell her he liked her cooking better than mine?
MacGyver: Ouch.
Wendy Reilly: Hey, big guy, I have a feeling you and I could wreck some havoc together. I'm Wendy.
MacGyver: MacGyver, and I don't have time to wreck havoc right now.
MacGyver: So you're a baseball fan.
Wendy Reilly: I'm not a fan, I'm a product.
MacGyver: Product?
Wendy Reilly: I love baseball, and hate anything that ruins it.
Novus Reilly: She's brought some real bozos around here.
Wendy Reilly: Sorry, MacGyver, subtlety's not a Reilly family trait.
Novus Reilly: I guess my daughter's definitely proof of that.
Ma Colton: MacGyver, you're just like my boys. Get Mama to do the networking.
