MacGyver: Great thing about a map: it can get you in and out of places a lot different ways. | MacGyver: Just goes to show you: a good map will always get you where you want to go. | Kate Connelly: So how you going to start a fire? Make lightning, or rub two sticks together?
MacGyver: Well, thought I'd use a match.
Kate Connelly: Aw, shucks, MacGyver, I was looking forward to seeing some more of your Boy Scout stuff. | Kate Connelly: You're a very... unexpected man, MacGyver. You keep me off balance. |
