Pete Thornton quotes from MacGyver

Pete

Mr. Knapp is directly responsible for a conspiracy to commit murder.

Remick

That's outrageous.

This is libelous. You have no proof of such an absurd accusation.

Yes, we do, Mr. Knapp. We have direct testimony.

Deborah

[Deborah entering room in handcuffs] Don't be so surprised. I'm a negotiator, Mr. Knapp. You know that. Testifying against you is just the best deal I could make.

Pete, a parent can only take so much responsibility.

Pete

I wish it was that simple. I think we're all responsible. And I think some of us... maybe a lot of us, have been sending out the wrong signals.

Pete

You two looked like you were in the middle of something. Don't let me stop you...

No no, that's okay Pete, I was just working on my Russian. But I think the lesson is over.

Natalia

Only for now...

[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.

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.

[angrily] Thanks for the ride!

Pete

Well, now, wait a minute. Hold it. We're not through talking yet.

I am.

Pete

I told the board you would do it. I gave them my word. I made a commitment.

You committed me! Without asking me, without giving me a chance to say yes or no. Now, come on, Pete, look at me! I'm a hurtin' guy, I'm beat up. I need a month's worth of sleep... [pause] and I need a haircut!

Pete

Well what am I going to tell the board?

Tell them you made a big mistake.

Pete

Mistake, what mistake?

You forgot to ask me!

You think the marshal in Serenity will stand up to Murdoc?

Pete

Wyatt? He's about as tough as a bucket of warm spit. Nobody in town's going to help us. They're all scared of Murdoc.

That's reasonable. So am I.

Pete

(at Colton's grave) I'm responsible; can we talk?

Your timing's a bit irregular. (walks away)

Pete

I hear you're good.

Murdoc

To be precise, I'm the best.
