Duncan

Game's over. Your time is up.

AAhriman

No gun. No sword. How are you going to fight me? Are you going to huff and puff and blow my house down?

Duncan

I become one with everything. I become one with you.

AAhriman

Too bad you didn't think of that before you killed Richie.

Duncan

I become everything. Therefore I become nothing.

AAhriman

C'mon, be a man. I dare you!

Duncan

Therefore you are nothing. Without my anger, you have no substance. Without my pride, you have no form. Without my hate... you - have - no - being.

[Flashback to 1640, an inn]

[They are sharing a bed, under strictly honorable circumstances]

I've never met a Scotsman before. Tell me, are they well armed?

Duncan

Ah-hem. What exactly do you mean?

I mean their swords, of course. What did you think I meant?

Duncan

Oh, well, your French toad stabbers, they're fine for some, but they're kind of puny.

You think them small?

Duncan

Och! They're hardly worth your while. Now a Scotsman's weapon, that's another matter. Once it gets going there's nothing that can stop it.

Really?

Duncan

Aye. Two hands to hold the thing. I doubt you could even hold it.

Surely you exaggerate.

Duncan

No, not a wee bit. Come to Scotland and I'll show you.

Scotland?

Duncan

You dinna think I could bring it in here did you? I mean the bloody thing wouldn't fit through the door.

Oh. Oh, you mean your sword.

Duncan

A claymore, of course. What did you think I meant?

Duncan

After the trial, the chief judge was murdered. Albright...

Richard. Richard was his name. Did you ever meet someone truly good, MacLeod? Someone who didn't want money, or power, or, or glory? Somebody beyond temptation and corruption?

Duncan

You were his bodyguard.

I did a hell of a job, didn't I?

Duncan

And there's more?

That's how it started. God, I loved him. Richard believed, MacLeod, believed like, like nobody I've ever met before. Justice, compassion. They were his Gods. Being with him was like being inside a warm, bright light. For 10 years, MacLeod. I wanted it never to stop. And then somebody stopped it. Do you know what that feels like?
