Chris: You know, you're right. What the hell - we'll do it!
MacGyver: What do you mean "we"? You're in the Peace Corps, not the Green Berets, remember? | MacGyver: I've found from past experiences that the tighter your plan, the more likely you are to run into something unpredictable. | MacGyver: Now get yourself down and brace yourself. This could be fun. |
