• Sheriff : [MacGyver is studying a dirt sample from the UFO landing site and the sheriff enters]  My secretary says you were looking for me at the station.

  MacGyver : Yeah, I got a chance to study a dirt sample from that burn patch in the field.

  Sheriff : I thought we agreed we were going to leave that UFO nonsense to me.

  MacGyver : The dirt contains napalm.

  Sheriff : The stuff they dropped in 'Nam?

  MacGyver : Yeah, it's used in flamethrowers as well. It's how they faked the landing site.

  Sheriff : And who are "they"?

  MacGyver : A couple calling themselves the Rigels. The plate on their trailer says they're from Illinois.

  Sheriff : Why would a couple of tourists go to all that trouble?

  MacGyver : Their not tourists, they're con artists. Tommy Wiley says that they talked his folks into booking passage on a spaceship to another planet.

  Sheriff : John Wiley is the most bible-fearing man I know - he'd never swallow such nonsense.

  MacGyver : They've got him convinced that they can cure his wife's cancer. Sheriff you don't believe me and frankly I don't blame you. But I think you should talk to the Wileys.

  Sheriff : Steam from those hotsprings must've baked your brain! You expect me flat-out to ask John Wiley whether he's planning a trip to outer space? I'd be laughed out of my job!
