• [first lines] 

  MacGyver : [voice-over narration]  There's just something about the Pennsylvania country-side. It smells clean and innocent... and after four weeks crammed inside a stuff space simulator testing lab, my senses needed to get reacquainted with nature. It's as close to paradise as you can get. Fresh air, cool green trees, warm sunshine, and wildlife.

• [last lines] 

  MacGyver : When I get back home, I'll talk to the engineers at the Phoenix Foundation. They've done a lot of research on reclaiming marshland.

  Wrightman : I'd appreciate that. The commission meets next Thursday morning.

  Amish Family Leader : I will be there, with you, to state our position. After all, we are neighbors.
