Methos quotes from Highlander: The Series

Methos

I'm, uh, Adam Pierson.

Alexa

Where are you from?

Methos

Umm...

Alexa

Your accent. Your not from here.

Methos

No, I've traveled a lot.

Alexa

Really?!?! Paris?

Methos

Paris is too full of Parisians. Even the French don't like Paris.

Alexa

Venice?

Methos

Venice, the smell alone would kill you.

Alexa

A little young to be so cynical, aren't you?

Methos

Well, if you say so.

Alexa

I just did. (leaves)

Methos

What did I say?

Joe

Ah, forget it, Alexa's not your type, OK?

Methos

How long have you known her?

Duncan

Since she was 14. She was living with a foster family. Pretty poor, and intimidated that they had a prodigy in their midst.

Methos

And does she know...

Duncan

That she's one of us? Doesn't have a clue.

Alexa

Well... either you like to drink or you're crazy about the blues.

Methos

No, I was waiting for you... I see I leave you speechless, this is an excellent start.

Alexa

A start to what?

Methos

To... Dinner, a film, a concert, a smile, a sunset, a walk, all of the above, whatever you would like...

Alexa

Do women really fall for that line?

Methos

I have no idea, I've never used it before.

Alexa

.... Why do you want to go out with me?

Methos

Because the alternative is unthinkable.

Alexa

I'm dying. You see, don't you? We can't go out tomorrow.

Methos

Absolutely. We'd better make it tonight.

Methos

Where's Alexa? We have a date.

Joe

She called in sick.

Methos

Where does she live?

Joe

Adam, she doesn't want to see you, OK? Just leave her alone.

Methos

Joe, I didn't ask for your opinion. I know she's dying, OK. You are all dying. 20 years, 6 months, what's the difference?

Joe

She's protecting herself. She's protecting you, don't you get it?

Methos

Yes, I get it! Now tell me where she lives.

Duncan

Why are you doing this? You've lived this long without it, why do you need it now?

Methos

Alexa... she's in hospital in Geneva, she doesn't have long.

Duncan

You knew it had to be this way.

Methos

Yeah, from the first moment I saw her. Is, is that supposed to make it easier? Is that supposed to make it OK?

Methos

My flight back to Geneva leaves at 10. She'll never know how close I came.

Duncan

She'll know how much you love her.

Methos

As much as I can for as long as she lives.

Duncan

Don't you want to see Robert and Gina live happily ever after?

Methos

Yeah, but I want to see me live happily ever after even more.

Methos

I knew it, I knew it! Getting between a married couple. It's a rule I haven't broken for two thousand years. I knew this would happen.

Duncan

She'll cool off, I'm just telling you to be careful, that's all.

Methos

Great, so I lose my head after five thousand years so that you can play marriage guidance counselor. I must have been out of my mind!

Duncan

You mind telling me what you find funny about this?

Methos

Not exactly funny, but pretty entertaining, yeah.

Joe Dawson

Just what is so entertaining?

Methos

MacLeod tussling with another of his moral dilemmas.

Duncan

You know there are times I really don't like you.

Methos

That's OK, sometimes I don't like myself.

Joe

I see. Ingrid Henning.

Methos

Hey, ask Joe about her.

Duncan

I don't have to ask Joe about her. I know about her. She failed to kill Hitler in '44 and she's been making up for it ever since.

Methos

It is the ultimate in arrogance to think that one person can alter the course of history.

Duncan

You can't deny that by killing Hitler in '44, thousands of lives would have been saved, maybe millions.

Methos

Yeah, and if you'd killed him in '43 like Rommel wanted, maybe Germany would have won the war. ... History makes men, MacLeod, men don't make history.

Your lawyer is here, and since I'm not going to charge you, goodbye.

Duncan

My lawyer? This I've got to see.

Methos

Officers... Well, that worked pretty well.

Duncan

Since when are you my attorney?

Methos

Whatever you need. Lawyer, doctor, Indian chief, I've got paperwork to cover it all.

Duncan

Ingrid asked me something before she died.

Methos

They usually do.

Duncan

She said, what was the difference between her killing them and me killing her.

Methos

Good question, right up there with chicken and egg.

Duncan

So what you're saying is there is no answer?

Methos

No, there is an answer. But the real question is whether you're ready for it. (Duncan nods) Stephanovitch killed, and Ingrid judged him. Wilkinson killed, and Ingrid judged him. Ingrid killed, and you judged her.

Duncan

So who judges me?

Methos

(long pause) You hungry?
