Episode Quotes
 
MacGyver: See, you gotta live somewhere, so somebody has to have custody. They both understand that.
Tommy Giordano: Is that a rule?
MacGyver: It's better. It's a fact.
Tommy Giordano: Like two parts hydrogen and one part oxygen, and it never changes. That kind of fact?
MacGyver: Yeah.

MacGyverisms:
* Hooking up a phone room to a neighboring motel room's phone line to listen in, using a coat hanger to shove the phone line over to the neighboring junction box
* A scarf to plug an exhaust pipe and keep a vehicle from starting
* Phone cords to wrap a patio door's handles, preventing the door from opening
* Alcohol and ammonia, mixed with acid descaler, poured into a child's robot toy with an electrical wire to set it off and create a smoke screen
