Episode Quotes |
| |
MacGyver: When James Bond gets an assignment, it's on the Riviera, up to his double-o seven in bikinis. Me, I end up eighty miles past nowhere courtesy of my good buddy, Pete Thornton, new operations director of the Phoenix Foundation.
| Col. Scott Woodward: So this is your main guy? What makes him so special? He doesn't even have any gear.
Pete: That's what makes him so special.
| Dr. Jill Ludlum: MacGyver. Some time consultant for the Phoenix Foundation. Alleged hockey player. Camel smuggler. Jack of all trades.
MacGyver: Jill Melissa Ludlum. Born in London. PhD, System Design, Oxford University, 1980. 1980-82, designed the Ludlum cybernetic circuit. 82-83 ... took a year off, for personal reasons. 83-86, immersed in the SRDA project. Hasn't come up for air yet. Reported to be a premiere technocrat.
| MacGyver: It took the human race three million years to invent the telescope. I figure I had about thirty-five seconds. On the other hand, I knew it could be done.
| Dr. Jill Ludlum: (as MacGyver takes off his pants) Why are you taking your pants off?
MacGyver: You gotta better idea?
Dr. Jill Ludlum: I'm still trying to figure out what yours is.
| Pete: We don't "roll the dice," we make a calculated choice. It's time we tried to think like MacGyver. His mind doesn't work like yours--or mine. We've got to put our gut to work, Woody.
Col. Scott Woodward: Instinct doesn't cut it, Pete. We've got plans. They have been thought out, reviews, they've been approved.
| Dr. Jill Ludlum: You're all right for a camel smuggler.
MacGyver: I returned that camel.

* His pants to provide a rope to support himself and Ludlum over an acid bath
