Amanda quotes from Highlander: The Series

Amanda

I've lived a long time, Joe. What goes around comes around.

Joe

You really believe that's true?

Amanda

I believe it should be.

Duncan

I need you to help me break into the museum.

Amanda

You want me to WHAT?! I knew you were up to something. For three hundred years you've been telling me to go legit. Now that I'm straight, you want me to steal.

Duncan

You hate your job.

Amanda

That's not the point.

Duncan

In a good cause.

Amanda

Don't you look at me like that. No, I'm retired. You wouldn't ask an alcoholic to take a drink for a good cause.

Amanda

Did you know he could do that?

Duncan

No. [with irony] You know, It's funny. The man knows more about me than anyone else alive, yet I hardly know anything about him..

Amanda

God, to sing like that...he must have had a helluva life.

Duncan

Probably...

Amanda

You want to ask him about it?

Duncan

No... when he's ready, he'll tell me.

Duncan MacLeod

Amanda?

Amanda

Gotta hand it to you, MacLeod...You've got a memory like an elephant.

Duncan

Amanda, what are you doing here? Besides making a fashion statement.

Amanda

You like it?... I'm making you dinner...

Duncan

Come on, Amanda, give. What do you really want?

Amanda

Just to make you happy.

Duncan

Why?

Amanda

So you won't kill me when I tell you what happened.

Duncan

What the hell are you doing here?

Amanda

Came to hear some jazz.

Duncan

Jazz.

Amanda

You know, American music. Miles, Coltrane, Wynton...[off his look] Alright, I was looking for you. [his look doesn't change] Alright, I was looking for Kalas! You know you can really be irritating sometimes?

Amanda

It's morning. I'm tired. It's hopeless. We'll never find him. Our only lead back to Kalas and you had to kill him.

Duncan

I told you, I didn't kill him. He fell.

Amanda

On his gun?

Duncan

Yes!

Amanda

And it went off just like that.

Duncan

Just like that.

Amanda

Remember when Gustave Eiffel built this thing?

Duncan MacLeod

World's Fair, 1889. Half the people thought it would ruin Paris forever. There were fist-fights all along the Champs Elysees.

Amanda

Now you can't imagine Paris without it.

Amanda

C'mon, MacLeod... Haven't you ever wanted to do something really crazy?

Duncan

Amanda, be careful. We don't fly.

Amanda

Have you ever tried? Relax. Whatever happens, I'll survive.

Amanda

You should have killed him. You had him... I can't believe you let him go!

Duncan

It's not that simple, Amanda...

Amanda

I'll tell you what's simple. Dead is simple.

Amanda

When you think of me, when you, you know, if you ever had to describe me to someone else, would you think of me as a nurturing person?

Duncan

(long pause) Definitely. Is that it?

Amanda

No! I want you to be honest, OK?

Duncan

How honest?

Amanda

Honest. I mean, tell me the truth, don't think about hurting my feelings.

Duncan

OK, then, no. Nurturing is not the first thing that comes to mind when I think of you.

Amanda

Oh, I don't think you know me very well.

Duncan

Amanda, you're beautiful, you're smart, and you're a lot of fun. Nurturing's in there... it's just not high on the list.

Amanda

Well, do you think that I would have made a good mother?

Duncan

Absolutely.

Amanda

Really? I mean, because I could take it if you don't think that, you know, I have it in me.

Duncan

You would have made a wonderful mother.

Amanda

Really?

Amanda

Wow... so what's it like?

Anne

Oh, like all the cliches. Carrying a watermelon, walking like a duck. And this is the easy part. The tough part comes when she gets here.

Amanda

Are you scared?

Anne

Terrified. You know, I'm a single mother, I work crazy shifts and weird hours. She's gonna need me, and the ER's gonna need me, and I haven't figured out how I'm going to make it all work yet.

Amanda

You know what? I think your going to do great.

Duncan MacLeod

Amanda, you've lived for over a thousand years, how many times have you seen real magic?

Amanda

MacLeod, I was an illiterate thief starving on the street before Rebecca found me and made me her student. This is all I have left of her. Magic or not, no-one's gonna take this from me!

Duncan

There is no way Methos sent those men, not a chance!

Amanda

Why not? It's perfect. It's wily, it's devious, it's... just like him.

Amanda

How can you not be excited, MacLeod? Just the smell of sawdust, popcorn and cotton candy. This makes me feel like a kid! Oh, isn't it exciting! I mean the sights, the sounds, the carnies!

Duncan MacLeod

The wonderful smell of wet fur. Low pay, rotten hours, sleeping in trucks.
