MacGyver quotes from MacGyver

I'll brief you on each of the next four days as we go along. Any questions?

Yeah, what's for dinner?

A gourmet selection of the finest freeze-dried food known to man.

[narration] It's occurred to me that some friendships are like a good game of hockey. The right balance of team work and smooth skating generally adds up to a winning combination. Like me and Pete Thornton. Partner, boss, friend - you can't do much better than that. But sometimes things come up that test the best of friendships, and this weekend of skiing was one of them.

Pete

It wasn't my fault!

Whose fault was it?

Pete

The guy cut me off, what was I supposed to do?

Pete

Listen, that man was skiing like he owned the whole darn mountain.

Pete! That man does own "the whole darn mountain."

Pete

Well, that's still no excuse for him to swing on me.

Do you realize that you've just destroyed a multi-million dollar piece of top secret military hardware?

[shrugging] Sorry.

Jack

So let me see if I've got this straight. The gravel we dredge up from the river gets filtered through this thingy.

Sluice box.

Jack

Right. And the mud...

Concentrate.

Jack

I am, Mac.

This is called concentrate.

Jack

Alright. Have it your way, Mr. Perfect.

Just tell me what you want me to do!

To help me find the holy grail!

Indiana Jones already did that, I saw the movie!

You're going to have to help me on this. I need a bunch of plastic. Something like, uh, garbage bags. Heavy-duty kind.

Alexander

Heavy-duty garbage bags?

Yeah. And this bamboo scaffolding. About a hundred feet should do this.

Alexander

Can we discuss this?

No. You don't want to know.

Alexander

Oh, my god, I just figured out what you're doing. You know what I think? I think you're crazy.

Give me a few hours, you'll know for sure.

Alexander

It flies! It really flies!

(surprised) Of course!

Where'd you say they had the artifacts?

Downstairs in the study.

The study have a fireplace?

It does. Why?

I'm afraid I have an idea.

Control Tower, all clear.

So, how did you do this trip, MacGyver? Do you think they'll have a settlement today?

We're gettin' close, Danielle.

That's wonderful. The Azmirs have been at war with the Samadians for a long time, haven't they?

Yep.

I'm going to need a nail.

What for?

Well, if I can weld a good spark plug it'll replace the electrode.

How are you going to weld it?

With wire, a battery, and jumper cables.

How do you come up with this stuff?

Well, the stuff's already here. I just find a different way to use it.

It was not a smart thing to do.

It was your idea.

My idea?

I had something important to tell you. You said if I had something to say, to say it. It woulda been kinda tough to tell you if you were halfway across the lake, wouldn't it?

Well, yeah.

Anybody got a knife?

I do. It's got a lot of different blades.

I know.

Hi, Pete.

Pete

MacGyver, you look terrific. You should wear a tux more often.

Strictly camouflage. Long as I have to be here, I might as well blend in.
