## Quotes

**Angus MacGyver:** We're safe.

**Jack Dalton:** Safe? What is safe about giving a knife to a monkey? Do you have any idea what that could do?

**Angus MacGyver:** I don't know, Jack.

**Jack Dalton:** What? You probably just started Planet of the Apes, man.

**Jack Dalton:** Senior year, when he beat me out for homecoming king I was never the same after that.

**Angus MacGyver:** Well, you do know that homecoming Kings - hold no real power, right?

**Jack Dalton:** Just sayin', this punk really shook my confidence.

**Riley Davis:** Well, he may have, Jack, - but this was years ago.

**Wilt Bozer:** Decades.

**Angus MacGyver:** Centuries, even.

**Jack Dalton:** Yeah Oh, very funny.

**Matilda Webber:** But one aspect of the competition has always remained the same. Our team has never won. But this is our year.

**Wilt Bozer:** Yeah.

**Matilda Webber:** The year that the Phoenix takes home the blue ribbon, and all the black budget funding that comes along with it.

*(re: Allie Winthrop)*

**Wilt Bozer:** So, when did you two hook up?

**Angus MacGyver:** What?!…Yeah, fine.

**Matilda Webber:** All set?

**Angus MacGyver:** All set.

**Matilda Webber:** If your robot doesn't win, you're all fired. Best of luck.

**Angus MacGyver:** But in order for this to work, we got to be within 160 feet. So you know what to do, Boze.

**Wilt Bozer:** Absolutely not.

**Allie Winthrop:** Hey, you okay? You jumped out of a stolen vehicle onto a killer robot, and stared down an F-22 with orders to fire.

**Angus MacGyver:** Yeah, I also smashed my phone.

**Wilt Bozer:** Nothing crazy about wanting the world to be a more peaceful place.

**Jack Dalton:** You mean except for the part where he hijacked a military drone and tried to attack the Pentagon with it to make his point?

**Angus MacGyver:** Yeah, except for that part. Shut up.

**Jack Dalton:** You shut up.

**Wilt Bozer:** Is it weird that I'm kind of offended that he didn't hack our drone?

**Angus MacGyver:** Super weird.

**Jack Dalton:** I know I'm not your grandpa or anything, but

**Angus MacGyver:** But you're almost old enough to be?

**Jack Dalton:** You looking to get popped in the mouth?

**Angus MacGyver:** Saw an opening.

**Jack Dalton:** But losing gave me the sense that I have something to prove, you know? It kind of fueled the rest of my life. It's probably why I joined the Army, became a Delta, applied for the CIA.
