## Quotes

**Jack Dalton:** Did you just make a Tarzan swing?

**Angus MacGyver:** Technically, it's a rope pendulum - made using fisherman knots.

**Jack Dalton:** Whatever.

**Matilda Webber:** Something you'd like to share?

**Jack Dalton:** No, I'm - I'm all good here.

**Matilda Webber:** Okay. Seems unlikely, but whatever.

**Jack Dalton:** Uh, Mac, what if instead of waving us through, they search the truck, man?

**Angus MacGyver:** Yeah, maybe we'll get lucky.

**Jack Dalton:** When have we ever been lucky?

**Angus MacGyver:** That one time in Madagascar.

**Jack Dalton:** Name two times.

**Matilda Webber:** Can either one of y'all tell me which jeep the heart's in?

**Angus MacGyver:** Yeah. Hey, Matty, um, - yeah, it's MacGyver.

**Matilda Webber:** Yes, Mac. I'm very familiar with the sound of your voice, especially when you're about to tell me that something's gone terribly wrong.

**Matilda Webber:** Are you seriously telling me that someone stole your heart?

**Jack Dalton:** See? She does it, too. Uh, Matty, Dalton here. Technically, the heart's not stolen. Not yet, seeing as how we can kind of sort of see it.

**Matilda Webber:** Save the witty comeback, Dalton, and get that heart back, fast. If Leon dies, any hope of a free and democratic Ecuador dies with him.

**Jack Dalton:** Matty, has anyone ever told you you give the greatest pep talks?

**Jack Dalton:** Time to eenie-meenie-miney, Mac. This road's about to go moe.

**Angus MacGyver:** The left. The one on the left.

 **Dr. Alejandra Rosa:** How can you be sure? - The jeeps are identical.

**Angus MacGyver:** Oh, I wasn't sure. We just needed to make a decision, so I made one.

**Wilt Bozer:** But you know what's weird?

**Jill Morgan:** Besides us here investigating a crime the police are way more qualified to handle?

**Jack Dalton:** Where the hell we gonna find another pump way out here?

**Angus MacGyver:** Alejandra, what's your blood type?

 **Dr. Alejandra Rosa:** A Positive.

**Angus MacGyver:** I'm AB Negative, so neither of us are compatible, which leaves I have an idea, but you're not gonna like it? - You're O Negative Universal donor.

**Jack Dalton:** How do you know?

**Angus MacGyver:** We work together. You don't know mine?

**Jack Dalton:** There are times well, just a few here and there when I wish, well when I wish I never met you.

**Angus MacGyver:** Actually, I can work with that.

**Jack Dalton:** You can?!

**Riley Davis:** He's shutting down the city's power grid, and he's sending men to all the hospitals - and clinics to find him.

**Jack Dalton:** No problem. We got Mac. Mac can fix anything. You can fix this, right?

**Angus MacGyver:** Huh?

**Jack Dalton:** All you got to do is

**Angus MacGyver:** All I got to do is quickly whip up a way to perform a lifesaving heart transplant.

**Jack Dalton:** Yeah.

**Angus MacGyver:** In the dark.

**Jack Dalton:** Yeah.

**Angus MacGyver:** You've done this surgery before, dozens of times.

 **Dr. Alejandra Rosa:** I know, but it's not just one man's life in my hands this time. It's the lives of everyone in my country.

**Angus MacGyver:** You know, before I did well, whatever you call this, I disabled bombs for the U.S. Army. And all throughout training, I wondered what I would do when other people's lives were actually on the line, when my decision was the difference between life and death. And the first time it happened, I was shaking worse than you are right now.

**Angus MacGyver:** I'm gonna cook you up a nice, juicy steak, get your iron levels up.

**Jack Dalton:** Oh, no, you can't cook.

**Angus MacGyver:** I'll buy you one.

**Jack Dalton:** I think the same goes for you, too, buddy.

**Angus MacGyver:** Thanks, man. Means a lot.

**Jack Dalton:** Yeah.

**Angus MacGyver:** It's truly heartwarming.

**Jack Dalton:** *(Groaning)* Oh, there it is. That's the last one. You officially just killed it right there.
 We're never doing heart puns again, but, uh - Thanks for the heart-to-heart.

**Jack Dalton:** *(to Letty)* Quick question, do you know my blood type?

**Letty Morelli:** I know everyone's blood type. What kind of medic would I be if I didn't?

**Jack Dalton:** Then what's yours?

**Angus MacGyver:** *(smirking)* A Negative

**Jack Dalton** What's going on?

**Wilt Bozer** Jill and I tracked 'em down.

**Jack Dalton** Who's Jill?

**Wilt Bozer** With the blonde hair

**Jack Dalton** I'm kidding.

**Wilt Bozer** If you're really lucky, you get to go to the drive-thru,

**Tommy:** Uh-huh.

**Wilt Bozer** and holler at all the girls.

**Tommy:** Did you ever get any numbers?

**Wilt Bozer** Not one.
