Episode Quotes
 
MacGyver: I guess this makes me about the first guy who ever attended his own funeral and lived to tell about it.
 
MacGyver: No, Pete and I go way back to some pretty… funny places.
Karen Blake: Is that what the camel is about?
 
MacGyver: Always had to say how great you were, didn't you, Quayle? Afraid maybe people wouldn't notice.
Quayle: You'll be the last one to die.
MacGyver: That's what I figure, too… of old age, hopefully.
 
MacGyver: When I was a kid, I use to build model airplanes with rubber band motors. Then I discovered batteries—it sure did increase the mileage.
 
Karen: When I left him he was taking the motor out of a blender.
Quayle: Ah, yes, that's the handyman side of MacGyver; he likes to make clever little things out of odd bits.

MacGyverisms:
* Suit of armor to test motion-sensitive sentry guns
* A metal bowl attached to a blender spindle to create a jamming device, bouncing off electrical waves from other appliances turned on
* Batteries taped together, attached to a mixer, attached by rubber bands to wheels on a cart to propel it. A taped-together armor headpiece is placed on top as a decoy.
* Vinegar and baking soda to make a smoke screen
* Duct piping as an early-warning system
* Mirror in duct piping to make a crude periscope
* Water pipes with a release valve to fire water into a fuse box
 
This episode reveals that Peter Thornton (Dana Elcar) is a United States Army colonel.
