Episode Quotes |
| |
MacGyver: Some people say that there are no more frontiers left for us to conquer, but then again, some people still go out into the wilderness in search of their dream.
| (juggling)
MacGyver: Laura, look, look.
Laura Farren: Oh, you're just amazing.
MacGyver: Man of many, many, many, many, many, many talents.
| MacGyver: Got a spare fuse?
Laura Farren: You're holding it.
| Laura Farren: And I asked him to make a choice: hellfighting... or us.
MacGyver: He chose right.
| (preparing to straight Pete's broken leg)
MacGyver: Of course, you know we're going to have to give it a pretty good yank to straighten it, get a splint on it.
Pete Torgut: Well, what are you waiting, Doc? Let's do it!
MacGyver: Oh, I was just wondering...
Pete Torgut: Do you have any doubts you can do it?
MacGyver: Oh, no, that's no problem. It has to do with Curie's Law.
Pete Torgut: Curie's what? Curie's Law?
MacGyver: Yeah. You know, the one that say the magnetic susceptibility of a paramagnetic substance is inversely proportional to the absolute temperature. You know.
Pete Torgut: The magnetic susceptibility of the...
(MacGyver straights his broken leg)
MacGyver: On the other hand... don't think about it.
Pete Torgut: Oh... whew. You're real slick, MacGyver.
MacGyver: Well, naked dancing girls might have been a little better, but... you know.
| MacGyver: Maybe we oughta consider puttin' it out ourselves.
Bill Farren: With what?
MacGyver: Know-how, ingenuity… dynamite wouldn't hurt.
| MacGyver: You know this building is coming down with the first strong wind?
Bill Farren: Hey, you want to live forever?
MacGyver: Thinking about it.
| Bill Farren: Pure nitro—that stuff will go off if you sneeze.
MacGyver: Let's try not to sneeze.
| Bill Farren: You know, back in the 1920s, they used to truck nitro out to the fields.
MacGyver: Yeah?
Bill Farren: Yeah.
MacGyver: They used to call that the suicide run, didn't they?
Bill Farren: You scared?
MacGyver: You bet.
Bill Farren: Me, too. Ain't it great?
MacGyver: Yeah...
| (moving dynamite)
Bill Farren: You ever drop one of these?
MacGyver: Not recently. You?
Bill Farren: Well, in Tulsa, Oklahoma, a guy once bet me that I couldn't balance a stick of burning dynamite on my forehead.
MacGyver: Yeah, what happened?
Bill Farren: Blew my head off.
| Bill Farren: You are crazy! I mean, certifiable!
MacGyver: Yeah? What does that make you?
| Bill Farren: You've always got an answer.
MacGyver: It doesn't always work.
| MacGyver: Uh, wait a minute, here.
Bill Farren: He's thinking. I can hear the gears grinding away.
| MacGyver: Well, I guess I'm going to have to entertain a couple of theories a few of my buddies came up with a while ago. Archimedes and Euclid, you may have heard of them.
