Episode Quotes
 
Andrea Collins: That was quite a stunt you pulled, after the way you, uh, broke the speed of light trying to catch this train. What's the rush?
MacGyver: Well, I'm a tourist. I didn't want to miss the scenic ride.
 
Andrea Collins: How come you're not scared?
MacGyver: Well, you know that old saying: "Lord, give me the strength to deal with what I can and endure what I can't?" Well, I'm enduring.
Andrea Collins: MacGyver, you know, in a weird way, you're a comfort.
 
Andrea Collins: I feel for that man.
MacGyver: He has a right. But he’s wrong.
 
MacGyver: Another day. A whole other set of fresh possibilities. I’m a sucker for mornings.
 
MacGyver: Well, a human being can try to lie, but the funny thing is, the body always has a way of telling the truth. All I have to do is cannibalize your medical kit, borrow an alarm clock and build us a translator.
 
Dr. James Grant: MacGyver, you have a remarkable flair for junk art.
