Quotes
-
Tommy Wiley : I thought you were an alien!
MacGyver : [Whilst pinching his cheek] No! I'm a real life human being, see?
-
Phil Sternwise : Tell me Mr MacGyver, do you believe in flying saucers?
MacGyver : Well, as a matter of fact, I tend to chalk that stuff up to natural phenomena.
Phil Sternwise : But you must admit, considering all the stars out there, life on other planets is more than possible. It's practically a certainty. And some very credible people have reported seeing UFOs - police officers, military and airline pilots.
MacGyver : Let's just say I have yet to be convinced.
Phil Sternwise : Ah, a man of science!
-
Sheriff : [MacGyver is studying a dirt sample from the UFO landing site and the sheriff enters] My secretary says you were looking for me at the station.
MacGyver : Yeah, I got a chance to study a dirt sample from that burn patch in the field.
Sheriff : I thought we agreed we were going to leave that UFO nonsense to me.
MacGyver : The dirt contains napalm.
Sheriff : The stuff they dropped in 'Nam?
MacGyver : Yeah, it's used in flamethrowers as well. It's how they faked the landing site.
Sheriff : And who are "they"?
MacGyver : A couple calling themselves the Rigels. The plate on their trailer says they're from Illinois.
Sheriff : Why would a couple of tourists go to all that trouble?
MacGyver : Their not tourists, they're con artists. Tommy Wiley says that they talked his folks into booking passage on a spaceship to another planet.
Sheriff : John Wiley is the most bible-fearing man I know - he'd never swallow such nonsense.
MacGyver : They've got him convinced that they can cure his wife's cancer. Sheriff you don't believe me and frankly I don't blame you. But I think you should talk to the Wileys.
Sheriff : Steam from those hotsprings must've baked your brain! You expect me flat-out to ask John Wiley whether he's planning a trip to outer space? I'd be laughed out of my job!
-
MacGyver : There isn't going to be a trip, Ms Wiley. The Rigels made the whole thing up.
Sarah Wiley : You're a disbeliever!
MacGyver : There is no flying saucer, no paradise on some distant planet. Ms Wiley you've got to believe that all that we get, is right here, right now!
Sarah Wiley : We are God-fearing people, Mr MacGyver! But what have we got? A farm we can't afford to keep, bills we can't pay. Bank and the government on our backs! Doctors, bills, hospitals. I know that God never meant us to live like this! There has to be a better place. A place where bad things don't happen to good people. We're going to find it! Don't try to stop us!
John Wiley : You heard my wife!

Phil Sternwise : Quite a show. What do you think it is?
MacGyver : I don't know, but I'm gonna get a closer look.

[last lines]
Sarah Wiley : [seeing a UFO zip away] Well, then, what could it be?
MacGyver : You gotta wonder.
