MacGyver Season 3 quotes

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.

[voice-over narration] Some people spend their lives trying to move up in the world. My friend, Jack Dalton, was at the top of that list. A dreamer who wakes up every morning with a new idea that will rocket him to the top of the economical ladder. The trouble is, because he was always in such a big hurry to get there, he'd take the kind of shortcuts that would drop him a rung lower. Living in this neighborhood was the result of his last shortcut.

Jack

Oh, come on, Mac. Where's your sense of adventure? What happened to that will o' the wisp guy I've come to know and love?

He's skiing. At a resort, where the greatest danger is an overpopulated hot tub.

Jack

Well I didn't come here to be shunned. I wouldn't shun you. Why would you shun me? I hate being shunned.

Jack

Hey, we're not dead yet! MacGyver's going to get us out of here. Aren't you, MacGyver?

(inspecting the barricade) Haven't got a clue.

Jack

Mac, that's not like you.

This door is over a foot thick!

It's not just the old man. The spirit of the wolf is part of my people.

Aw, since when? Perry, you and I have been stealing beads and trinkets out of the graves of your people for three years.

We are in Illacom's world now. He will decide my fate—and yours.

My father was a fool, like you. He followed the trap lines until he died in his tracks out here. That's not going to happen to me. I work for Grant. I drive a Camaro.

Bad trade for your soul.

We can make this a very unpleasant trip for you, Chief.

I'm too old to be afraid.

Yeah, but you're not too old to be history.

[voice-over narration] Maybe I was tired. At least that's what I kept telling myself. I'd been following these two for a week. They'd landed clerk jobs with a government contractor three months ago. A week later, they were stealing top secret documents that kept them in Limos, parties, and very mean company.

There's a fine line in nature that divides the hunter from the hunted. The trick was to turn the situation around. The tools I had available were nature, Karen's coat, and the tranquilizer darts in her backpack. The first thing I had to do was to give them something to shoot at that wasn't me.

Yeah, I wanted to be a ranger.

Karen

You wanted to be a ranger. You wanted to be a pilot. You wanted to go to Africa! And every time I agreed and tried to be part of it? You changed your mind.
