Episode Quotes
 
MacGyver: Home. Enough is enough. I will not, under any circumstances, for any reason whatsoever answer the phone... probably... again.
 
MacGyver: Harry.
Harry Jackson: How'd you know?
MacGyver: I never forget a grandfather.
 
MacGyver: You haven't changed.
Harry Jackson: Haven't had to, and I don't plan to.
 
(driving along rough roads)
MacGyver: You trying to throw me or scare me?
Harry Jackson: You always did like to talk.
 
MacGyver: Still as tough as a dirty boot, aren't you?
Harry Jackson: Damn right.
 
MacGyver: You ready for some fishing?
Harry Jackson: I've already been; what do you think we're having for breakfast?
MacGyver: C'mon, Harry. You're the one who used to tell me: you don't fish for fish, you fish for fishin'.
 
MacGyver: Hey, Harry, remember you used to tell me about how the Indians fought this way?
Harry Jackson: Bud… a lot of that stuff I used to tell you was, uh, just stories.
MacGyver: Yeah, well a lot of it works.
 
Harry Jackson: You sure that'll work?
MacGyver: Nope.
Harry Jackson: Bud, you are a comfort.
 
MacGyver: When I was a kid, I used to chew pine pitch like it was gum. It tasted all right--but it burned a lot better
 
Harry Jackson: Just what is it that you do, Bud?
MacGyver: Eh, a little of this, a little of that.
Harry Jackson: That sure explains it.
 
(crying)
Harry Jackson: Well, that was a sorry sight.
MacGyver: Hey, don't you ever bad-mouth my grandpa, you hear?
 
Harry Jackson: They've been falling for your foolishness; I figured I'd try some of my own.

* Vegetable oil to coat a kitchen floor and trip the bad guys
* Garden hose as a trip wire
* Hollow reeds mounted perpendicular on a piece of bark, to convince the bad guys someone is underwater using them to breathe
* Blowgun from hollow reeds and wood slivers, paralytic poison from plant sap
* Jacket filled with branches as a decoy
* Rock with an edge to cut a tree branch and drop it on the villains' jeep.
* Pine cones covered in pitch as land mines
* Iron pyrite mixed with clay to make an antibiotic
* Floating grain in an enclosed room, set off with a match to explode
* Fishing string to tug a curtain and lure in a bad guy (Harry uses this one)
* Sawing through a porch post part way to bring it down on the bad guy
* Pine nuts tossed into a fire to simulate gunshots (Harry uses this one)
