MacGyver: When I was about ten, I got my first chemistry set. I've been a beaker-and-test-tube nut ever since. (edit)
Harry: (Referring to the lab at the Phoenix Foundation.) This looks like something straight out of Flash Gordon.
MacGyver: Nah, we passed Flash Gordon years ago. (edit)
Harry: Remember that winter when you were a kid, and I taught you how to skate backwards?
MacGyver: Oh, I can't forget it! I spent the whole winter on my butt! (laughs) (edit)
