Episode Quotes
 
MacGyver: One of the problems of flying a jet is that you don't have a lot of time to admire the scenery.
 
MacGyver: Is your mother aware of all this?
Ahmed: She's a woman. She doesn't know about man's business.
MacGyver: So where is she now?
Ahmed: Milking the goat.
MacGyver: Isn't that your job?
Ahmed: It's not a man's work. (MacGyver looks at him) The goat doesn't like me.
