[voice-over narration] When you think about it, I take on a lot of jobs nobody else would want. The question is, why do I want 'em. I find myself asking these questions more and more and rationalizing answers with stuff like flexible hours, nice scenery, all expense paid vacations in colorful Eastern European luxury resorts. But, the bottom line is, I like it. I actually like getting into stuff that makes the old adrenaline pump. And, I get to meet some interesting people who have made some interesting career choices themselves.

What is it?
EEd
I'll probably be able to tell you that tomorrow - unless you're in a rush.
I'm in a rush.
EEd
You're always in a rush. You realize that this is bending the regulations just a little.
Ed, who rebuilt your sound system?
EEd
Ah, you have a point. You also have a sample.
[Bannister and Mac are watching Ed perform an autopsy.]
BBannister
You have to make jokes?
EEd
What do you expect? Tap dance? (to Mac) Who's your sensitive flower?
Ed, you've been down here too long.
GRU. Special Operations.
Which means?
He kills people.
BBannister
You know Mac, he can't let a puzzle alone.
What I'm going to do here is activate a magnetic field and… turn the chemicals into nylon. Good for ladies' stockings, and, uh… clogging the arteries of a kind old man.
Did you finish packing, Mr. MacGyver?
Actually, it defeated me completely.
You must learn not to be defeated so easily.
I need someone I can trust to stay on top of it.
You have got a whole file full of people on salary who can do that.
Yes, and any one of them could turn out to be the mole!
I thought we could rely on each other; I thought we were friends.
We are friends, Pete. We're friends, shall be ever more - after my vacation!

John Wayne could not have done it better.
