“The Negotiator” quotes from MacGyver

Remick

MacGyver.

Mr. Remick.

Remick

Its beautiful, isn't it? And it won't change, you know. I mean, I - I don't know what you think you're protecting. We don't want to see it change, either. The beauty of this land enhances the value of our own investment. I mean, you think we're fools; act against our own interests?

I think your company's first priority is to get your marina built.

Maybe we could get together some time and compare notes over a cup of coffee.

Deborah

I don't drink coffee.

Neither do I.

Remick

This is a two billion dollar project, MacGyver. The interest on that money alone could run well over a hundred million dollars a year, while you're busy delaying this thing. Which is something you'd know if you live in the real world.

I live in the real world, Remick. This one.

Deborah

MacGyver, the big people play their games. The world is wired a certain way. All we can do is... try to make it work for ourselves.

Now see, I don't believe that. I think we're all in this together. That's why I'm not gonna let them stop me.

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.
