Wilt Bozer: Oh. He's exactly that crazy!
Jack Dalton: Did he just take the last parachute?!
Angus MacGyver: Yeah. And I just sent out a cargo crate with all the stuff I need to make more.
Jack Dalton: I remember the first time I had to kill somebody. It stays with you. It’s not something you easily forget.
Jack Dalton: She is not ready for a solo mission!
Matilda Webber: I thought you said what happened on the plane was your fault, Jack.
Jack Dalton: Oh yeah, what I said about the place... Yeah it was totally my fault. There.
Angus MacGyver: And mine. I helped. Un-helped.
