Quotes 

• MacGyver : [to Nikki as Murdoc has a flamethrower aimed at them]  That's Murdoc. He's not your normal professional killer.

• [first lines] 

  MacGyver : [voice-over narration]  What are you doing up here, he asked himself. Don't you remember you hate heights, or is it that heights hate you? I could never figure out which was which. But either way, I was determined that today I was gonna overcome it all. I had a sizable rock face called the Widowmaker to climb, and an expert to show me how to do it. Wishful thinking.

  [loses grip, slides down and hangs from a rope] 

  MacGyver : There's an old climber's saying: It's not the fall that kills you, it's the sudden stop.

• [last lines] 

  MacGyver : [getting ready to climb]  Now, like I taught you, by the numbers.

  Nikki Carpenter : By the numbers.

  [adjusts climbing ropes] 

  Nikki Carpenter : All right, belay on.

  MacGyver : Climbing

  Nikki Carpenter : Climb on.

• MacGyver : [Sees Murdoc's modus operandi of leaving taunting photos for his victims]  He's dead... Murdoc's dead.

  Murdoc : Not quite, Macgyver!

  [Murdoc ignites his flamethrower to try and burn MacGyver and possibly Nikki] 

  Murdoc : It's your turn to burn, MacGyver!
