Episode Quotes
 
Terry Andrews: Ah, the fascination of war. Some men can’t kill. Others don’t mind. Yeah, but for Buddy, it’s as necessary as breathing. I wouldn’t give him an excuse.
 
Terry Andrews: MacGyver, what do you do by profession?
MacGyver: I, uh, move around.
 
Dave Redding: You and Kelly are about the only ones who didn't just pass judgment.
MacGyver: Well, I can't stand in judgment of you, Dave. I'm not perfect... yet.
 
Turk: What’s that?
MacGyver: Lateral cranial impact enhancer. (hits him in the head with a metal part)
 
 
Episode References
 
MacGyverisms:
* Magnesium filed off a bicycle, combined with iron rust, tamped down tight and compressed into a pipe, with an emergency flare for ignition. All to make a thermite lance.
* A "lateral cranial impact enhancer": a spare part used a a club
* Explosive out of ether from starter fluid, fertilizer, and cotton wadding, wrapped in a newspaper
* Opening a locked freezer door by putting cardboard inside the lock, then using the ceiling light to melt ice and a metal support to channel the water into the cardboard where it refreezes and expands, breaking the lock
* Olive oil to delay the detonation of a homemade explosive by fire, attached to a RC airplane
* A rifle to parry a knife attack
