Episode Quotes
 
MacGyver: I'd added some stuff to the weight machine. I knew the kids would be thrilled with the results.
Rico: It'll never fly, man.
 
Booker Wilson: I knew you could do it, MacGyver.
MacGyver: Well, give it a try.
Booker Wilson: You invented it. Go ahead.
MacGyver: Come on, Rico, get on there.
Rico: I'm too young and good looking to die.
 
MacGyver: Hey, you never told me things were so bad.
Booker Wilson: If I did, you'd worry. And worrying is Cynthia's thing. She does it better than anybody I know.
Cynthia Wilson: It's a dirty job, but somebody has to do it.
 
Darlene: How many N's in the word "anniversary"?
Booker Wilson: Good question. How many D's in the word "dictionary"?
 
Booker Wilson: I'm going to talk about the kids. Because that's what the Challengers Club is all about. There are people here today who are going to tell you we have some bad kids at the club. Well, I'm going to tell yo how bad. Kids who come from bad homes, broken homes, no homes at all. Hungry kids... cold... beaten and broken kids. Kids who fix and use drugs for kicks. They're mad. Mad at you, mad at me... mad at the world they see. A world without opportunity.
 
Ray Collins: Talking ain't gonna to change nothing! People like Larson are always gonna hate people like me. Just because we're black.
MacGyver: So you hate him back. Ray, the hate has got to stop somewhere. It has got to stop!
Ray Collins: That ain't gonna change nothing.
MacGyver: Every action has a reaction. You have got to believe that.
