[voice-over narration] The usual problem in Los Angeles on a lazy Saturday is... what to do. Surfing in the Pacific. Skiing in the mountains. Maybe, head to the beach and watch the girls roll in. Not exactly. I was celebrating, if that's the word, the anniversary of a friendship. I'd met Pete Thornton seven years ago today. So, I'd been running around all morning long following the anniversary instructions Pete had sent me. He asked me to locate a bar magnifying glass and bring it to him at Adler's Wrecking Yard at eight o'clock, sharp. Pete always could come up with something a little off-center. Now, where to find him.

I operate on a need-to-know basis. [Sighs] I guess you need to know.
I hope it's not too uncomfortable for you back there, gentlemen.
Don't worry. We'll live.
I seriously doubt that, Thornton.
JDJack Dalton
MacGyver, this is me, this is Jack, this is your buddy. Give it to me straight. You know how important my cab is to me; it's my future. You scratched it, didn't you?
Well, no - not exactly.
JDJack Dalton
Okay, a dent; you put a dent in it.
Listen, Jack -
[interrupted]
JDJack Dalton
I can live with a dent. Tell me it's a dent.
It's a little more than a dent. Mr. Thornton and I were riding in your cab chasing this woman, who was actually a man who had a guy with a bazooka waiting and he blew up your cab.
JDJack Dalton
Hold it. Run that back. Run that by me again.
Um, Mr. Thorton and I were riding in your cab and we're chasing this woman...
JDJack Dalton
No, no, no - just the last part.
Two guys with bazookas blew up your cab.
JDJack Dalton
They blew up my cab with a bazooka?
Two bazookas. But I can explain.
JDJack Dalton
Bazookas... you can explain bazookas? YOU CANNOT EXPLAIN BAZOOKAS!
[yelling, lunging out of his hospital bed for MacGyver]
Listen, MacGyver. Anybody who can use a paper clip, a pair of shoelaces, and a rusty monkey wrench to take out two bazookas could be very useful in taking Murdoc. Help me.
You are a do-gooder, MacGyver. Ninety percent of the people in the world are smart: they see trouble coming, and they duck and run. Ten percent are like you. Can't resist cleaning up the mess.
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?
Yeah, that, too.
Do you remember what Mark Twain once said? "The reports of my death are greatly exaggerated."
