Episode Quotes |

MacGyver: You never know where life is gonna take you. This is especially true when you've got a friend like Penny Parker. | MacGyver: There was a long story behind the way Penny came into her inheritance, and she was in no hurry to shorten it. In high school geometry I learned the shortest distance between two points is a straight line, but when telling a story, Penny always takes the scenic route. Hold it: I hear a point coming up. | MacGyver: Penny, I'm sorry. The supernatural is just an easy way to explain what we can't understand. | Penny Parker: Did you know my Aunt Betty?
Sylvia Lang: Oh, everybody in town knew Crazy Betty.
Penny Parker: "Crazy"? You mean like, fun-loving and carefree?
Sylvia Lang: I mean crazy. Loopy as a loon. | MacGyver: See? Told you. Nothing to be afraid of.
Penny Parker: That's easy for you to say. I'm the one that found out that I'm related to a gangster and a madwoman.
MacGyver: Well, you know, that doesn't surprise me.
Penny Parker: What?!?
MacGyver: Uhh, what I mean is every family's got a black sheep in the pack.
Penny Parker: Any black sheep in your family?
MacGyver: You're looking at him. | Penny Parker: Chocolate mint and banana icing—you even remembered my favorite.
MacGyver: Yeah. Who could forget a combination like that? | Sheriff Cliff Howels: Growing up, used to hear stories about an old Indian burial ground around here. First time anybody's ever found part of it, though.
MacGyver: Well, I don't think the Indians had dentists. At least, none that used gold crowns. | Penny Parker: Don't tell me that you didn't hear them.
MacGyver: Oh... it's probably the plumbing.
Penny Parker: The plumbing does not bang on walls and drag things around and moan. | MacGyver: Whatever's going on around here has got nothing to do with ghosts, or goblins, or the supernatural. There is a purely logical explanation for everything.
Penny Parker: Really? Well, that would sound a lot more reassuring if you weren't holding a human skull. | Sheriff Cliff Howels: The last thing I need is a couple of amateurs getting in the way of police work.
Penny Parker: MacGyver's not an amateur.
MacGyver: Well, actually I am. | MacGyver: You can see where the lime seeped into the rock here. That means the upper part of this wall is above ground.
Penny Parker: MacGyver, we're all going to die and you're giving us geology lessons!

MacGyverisms:
* A wig stand to mount a skull, pencil erasers to mark skin thickness, cotton balls for eyes and nose, strips of putty for skin, all to reconstruct the facial features
* A candle to trace a stray breeze from a hidden panel to find its exact location
* Capped pipe attached to a patch on an overheating boiler. When the steam builds up, the patch gives first, firing the pipe through a wall |
