- MacGyver: [to Nikki as Murdoc has a flamethrower aimed at them] That's Murdoc. He's not your normal professional killer.
- Ellard: I know what he's going through. I was on a destroyer, went in the battle of Midway. I lost some good buddies. Well, you put them to bed, but you never forget 'em. You know what I mean?
- [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.

- 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.
- Nikki Carpenter: [as Murdoc arrives at the cabin to avenge his previous defeat, an answering machine plays Nikki's message] Hello. MacGyver, you home? This is Nikki. You've been gone for uh, what, two weeks now? I hope you're doing okay? But I guess if your hearing this, you've gotten tired of playing old man of the mountain. Pete and I left messages for you at Ellard's store; But I suppose you don't get out much. Anyway, I know this is tough for you, and I want you to know I'm here if you want to talk, okay? Call me. We miss you.
- Murdoc: Gone? Gone where? But I only miss once...!
- Murdoc: Remember me, MacGyver? When last we met, I had a couple of broken bones, and you left me with a lot of burnt flesh!
