Pete Thornton quotes from MacGyver

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.

Instinct doesn't cut it, Pete. We've got plans.

Pete

Woody, these bypass codes are never gonna get us through the front door. MacGyver's got to know that by now, too. I'm sure he's looking for some other way out.

Pete, you can't be sure of anything.

If you're right, Mr. Thornton, MacGyver only has two choices for another way out. The maintenance shaft or the exhaust outlet.

Pete

Well, now we're getting somewhere.

There's a catch. Both of them are mined with explosives from the outside access ports. We only have time to dismantle one.

Pete

Mined? So you're telling me if Mac tries to exit either way before we diffuse the explosives...

He's gonna blow both of them to kingdom come.

Thornton

Mmm, this is great. Did you make this?

You're supposed to heat it.

Thornton

Mmm, I like it cold.

I didn't think you'd go in for whipped bean curd.

Pete

Mac, help me pick up this money, will ya? I wanna get it back to the Foundation vault.

You mean all this money is real? But you said it was fake.

I didn't want you to get nervous.

Pete

Are you telling me you let this man carry around three hundred thousand dollars in cash and he thought it was fake money?

I didn't want to affect his performance.

[entering a hostile country] We just crossed the border.

Pete

Pilot says we just left Thailand. He's not a happy guy.

I don't blame him.

Now I'm going to need some empty cans, some fuel, noisemaker, and some form of grease. Animal fat will do. Open that, will you, Pete?

What's he doing?

Pete

I haven't got a clue. But I'm used to it.

Pete

Well, Maggie, I guess I'll see you the next time you're in trouble.

I'll be looking forward to it.

Pete

Yeah, me, too.

Pete

Mac, I have just one question about rappelling: what do you do if the line breaks?

You fall.

Pete

Oh.

Murdoc

I hope it's not too uncomfortable for you back there, gentlemen.

Pete

Don't worry. We'll live.

Murdoc

I seriously doubt that, Thornton.

Pete

Probably a low-power charge, specially designed. It's only going to destroy the bed.

(sitting on the bed) What about the guy on it?

Pete

Yeah, that, too.

Pete Thornton

[Handing over a gun to MacGyver] Here. Just for insurance.

Pete, you know how I feel about those things.

Pete Thornton

Yeah, I do, but you're defenseless out here.

No, just weaponless.

Pete

Chu. I mean Commissioner Chu.

Don't be inscrutable with me, Peter. It's good to see you again.

Pete

Since when are you a magician?

Jack

When? I have studied at the feet of Hindu mystics! Climbed the hidden mountains of Tibet to learn the lost secrets of that unknown kingdom. I have delved into…

… a magic course he got selling magazines in the tenth grade.

Pete

[after shopkeeper demands $7.50 in payment for a Dragon statue] Oh. Sure. I can handle that.

I'd say that's a real bargain.

Pete

[MacGyver picks out two bills from Pete's wallet] Those are twenty's!

[giving the money to shopkeeper] Keep the change.

Well. Sorry to bust in on you like this.

Pete

What kept ya?

Jack

Are we great or what. What a team and since we're already all here together, I heard about this sunken treasure. Fifty million dollars in Nazi gold. See, this ship was torpedoed right off the coast and the gold was lost. All we gotta do is get a diving bell and three bathing suits and...
