The German episode title is "Ein Akt der Menschlichkeit", meaning "An Act of Humanity". (edit)

MacGyver: Human Nature. I do something nice for you, you do something nice for me - like not kill me. In the off chance I am wrong, if you get the uncontrollable desire to kill something, why don't you toss that line in the lake and fetch us some lunch. (edit) Victor: Tell me why you came back for me.
MacGyver: Well, it seemed like a good idea at the time. Like I said, reflex. (edit) Victor: (looking at his bandages) Why did you do this?
MacGyver: Reflex? Your feet were elevated, if I hadn't turned you around the venom would have gone strait to your heart, assuming you have one. (edit) MacGyver: Oh, come on, I'm no threat to you; there's no reason to kill— (runs behind a tree) This is nuts. There's no reason for this! Listen to me, I'm not going to take it in the back and I'm not going to take it laying down, so you're just going to have to shoot me face to face! (whispering) I can't believe I said that. (screaming) You hear me! I'm comin' out! And no, I'm not crazy. Just take a good took, maybe you'll think twice about cold-blooded murder. (edit)
