- Jack Dalton: MacGyver, this is me, this is Jack, this is your buddy. Give it to me straight. You know how important my cab is to me; it's my future. You scratched it, didn't you?
- MacGyver: Well, no - not exactly.
- Jack Dalton: Okay, a dent; you put a dent in it.
- MacGyver: Listen, Jack -
- [interrupted]
- Jack Dalton: I can live with a dent. Tell me it's a dent.
- MacGyver: It's a little more than a dent. Mr. Thorton and I were riding in your cab chasing this woman, who was actually a man who had a guy with a bazooka waiting and he blew up your cab.
- Jack Dalton: Hold it. Run that back. Run that by me again.
- MacGyver: Um, Mr. Thorton and I were riding in your cab and we're chasing this woman...
- Jack Dalton: No, no, no - just the last part.
- MacGyver: Two guys with bazookas blew up your cab.
- Jack Dalton: They blew up my cab with a bazooka?
- MacGyver: Two bazookas. But I can explain.
- Jack Dalton: Bazookas... you can explain bazookas? YOU CANNOT EXPLAIN BAZOOKAS!

- MacGyver: [voice-over narration] The usual problem in Los Angeles on a lazy Saturday is... what to do. Surfing in the Pacific. Skiing in the mountains. Maybe, head to the beach and watch the girls roll in. Not exactly. I was celebrating, if that's the word, the anniversary of a friendship. I'd met Pete Thornton seven years ago today. So, I'd been running around all morning long following the anniversary instructions Pete had sent me. He asked me to locate a bar magnifying glass and bring it to him at Adler's Wrecking Yard at eight o'clock, sharp. Pete always could come up with something a little off-center. Now, where to find him.

- Jack Dalton: [setting up an automatic camera] Well, I may have missed all the fun, but I want a picture for old times sake. Remember what brought us together in the first place? That maniac Murdoc. Dead and buried these seven years. Hold it. Here it comes
- Pete Thornton: Murdoc is an international terrorist. Specializes in disguises. He's half Chameleon, half Rattlesnake.
- Pete Thornton: When he makes a kill he always takes a picture of his victim... dying.
- MacGyver: Keeping an album, is he?
