Well, he lived his life as a hero. Seems he died the same way.
Why, MacGyver, you're beginning to sound Russian.
What do you mean, Russian?
Poetic, philosophical. Russian.
S4 E14Gold Rush
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.
Only for now...
S4 E15The Invisible Killer
When Pete Thornton established a stress-relief program for Phoenix Foundation employees, I thought it was a pretty good idea. The four men I was going to meet worked in high-pressure Phoenix positions throughout the country. My job was to take them over Mount Cascade on a 5-day hike. They'd have a chance to blow-off some steam and just forget about their jobs. And me? Well it was just something I liked to do.
Acrophobia wasn't on your application for this program. Are you hiding anything else?
Just my pride.
Maybe you were in prison for having a lousy sense of humor!
(while looking at a high, rickety bridge) The brochure said this was going to be a stress-free weekend.

Come on, Chuck, you're not afraid of falling, are you?
No, it's the sudden stop at the bottom that worries me.
I'll brief you on each of the next four days as we go along. Any questions?
Yeah, what's for dinner?
A gourmet selection of the finest freeze-dried food known to man.

Sheriff, your wife's on the phone. She wants to know when you're coming home. Your twins have the measles.

MacGyver, when is your program starting up again?
S4 E17Easy Target
[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.
It wasn't my fault!
Whose fault was it?
The guy cut me off, what was I supposed to do?
JJonathan
First a witness, now a hostage. You are a very able man, Mr. Thornton.
Listen, that man was skiing like he owned the whole darn mountain.
Pete! That man does own "the whole darn mountain."
Well, that's still no excuse for him to swing on me.
LCLt. Col. Chambers
Do you realize that you've just destroyed a multi-million dollar piece of top secret military hardware?
[shrugging] Sorry.
S4 E19Unfinished Business
MAMan at Prison
Welcome back to the world. I found your target. He's here... camping. The whole area's marked off for hiking trails so tracking him will be a piece of cake. There's just one hitch. He's got a couple of guys with him. You ask me, you ought to wait till he's alone. How come you gotta talk to him, anyway? That's pretty strangeoid, you know that? Safer to whack him and have done with it. Hey, it's not my business. You gotta do what you gotta do, right? Whee's are over there. Happy hunting.
So let me see if I've got this straight. The gravel we dredge up from the river gets filtered through this thingy.
Sluice box.
Right. And the mud...
Concentrate.
I am, Mac.
This is called concentrate.
Alright. Have it your way, Mr. Perfect.
You know, I've always been able to find something in my victims that I could hate. It made my job so much easier.
