Amanda quotes from Highlander: The Series

Amanda

I really do like you, Duncan. Let's just play house for 70 or 80 years.

Amanda

Hmmmm. Breakfast in bed. You better watch it, MacLeod. They say this is how love starts.

Tessa Noël

You don't look like someone who would worry much about forgiveness.

Richie

Tess, you do know that they all carry big swords with them. Just a thought.

Amanda

You've always had a taste for beautiful and spirited women, Duncan.

Tessa

And modest. Don't forget modest.

Duncan MacLeod

Time to go. It's been thrilling.

Amanda

It's been 65 years. A girl might think you're trying to avoid her.

Duncan

Now how could you think that? Goodbye, Amanda.

Do you know what I missed most... was the feeling of a good, old fashioned Quickening. SShhhh!!

Amanda

Wait!

No, after what you did to me, you can't come up with a reason good enough.

Amanda

I can give you ten million reasons, in American dollars.

Funny, you'd think that would be enough. (prepares to kill her)

Amanda

I can give you the head of Duncan MacLeod!

Amanda

I gave up my life of crime, Duncan.

Duncan

That's what you said in Constantinople, 250 years ago.

Amanda

I succumbed to an impulse.

Duncan

I was nearly flayed alive when they came looking for you.

Amanda

But you got away. You always do.

Amanda

You know, you won't let me change. You really expect me to steal, don't you?

Duncan MacLeod

I expect sharks to bite, too. Don't take it personally.

Duncan

Who were those guys?

Amanda

I swear on my mother's grave...

Duncan

You don't have a mother.

Amanda

Why won't you believe me? I've never seen those guys before in my life.

Duncan

Funny, they seemed to know you.

Duncan

Why can't I just smile? I'm happy, we're safe for now, I've just made love to the most devious, scheming, deceitful... beautiful woman in history.

Amanda

Do you really think I'm one of the most beautiful women in history?

Amanda

I told you, I'm not a thief any more.

Duncan

So you turned to counterfeiting instead?

Amanda

Well, I ran out of money, what else am I supposed to do?

Duncan

Oh, a job is out of the question.

Amanda

Would you get serious, MacLeod.

Duncan

Wait, wait, counterfeiting and honesty, they go well together, right?

Amanda

Don't be so picky, my heart was in the right place.

Amanda

MacLeod, do you ever wonder what it is like to die?

Duncan MacLeod

Every time.

Amanda

That's not what I meant.

Duncan

I know, you meant really die. Be gone forever.

Amanda

So you do think about it.

Duncan

Not for myself. Not any more. Whatever happens, happens.

Amanda

I don't know. The longer I live the more I get attached to myself.

Duncan

Sooner or later everyone dies. Even us.

Amanda

I don't mind the later, it's the sooner part I don't like.

Amanda

Why take a man's head when you can have his gold?

Amanda!

Amanda

What? You taught me to be clever.

I also taught you to be honest.

Amanda

Ah yes, I forget that part.

Amanda

You stuck your nose in without being asked, the least you could do is say you're sorry.

Duncan

What, for saving your life?

Amanda

Oh don't change the subject!

Duncan MacLeod

Joe, I want you to meet Amanda. Amanda... Joe Dawson.

Amanda

I'll bet you have. I hear you're one of those guys who likes to watch.

Joe

It's clinical. For history. We don't get involved.

Amanda

Well, tell me... Do you watch us do... everything?

Joe

Only the things I can't get arrested for.

Amanda

[to MacLeod] I like this guy.
