“Deadly Dreams” quotes from MacGyver

So what's the gripe? You've got some of the best scientific support available to any police department in the country!

I'll send a thank-you note to the mayor. [tearing down poster of voluptuous model] See if you can find me something of Mel Gibson half-naked, will ya Wyatt?

He's not really my type, Ma'am.

Listen to me, MacGriever—

It's MacGyver.

Whatever. You just don't get it. What we are doing here is police work. Now, sometimes the public—civilians like yourself—just don't understand what it takes to get the job done.

We don't, huh?

No, you don't. Now, I've heard you hate guns, abhor violence, and I'm sure my tank is very chilling to your... sense of justice and fair play. But we do live in the real world here. Guns and tanks and nasty crooks are all just a part of the big picture.

I think you'll find Mr. Cross to have anticipated most everything.

That so?

He's quite an unusual man, you see. It will be very difficult to stop him. To solve his deadly riddle, so to speak. His cunning is so complex, you have to be intellectually superior, exceptionally persistent, and possess an abundance of ingenuity to even get close to him. Are you all of these things, Mr. MacGyver? Yes, I know your name. Does that frighten you?

Should it?

Why would Zito want to help somebody else escape?

Good question. Maybe somebody in Homicide has an answer.

You're not into some kind of detective work here, are you, MacGyver?

Well, enough to believe that Dr. Zito had something to do with Cross' escape.
