Richie Ryan quotes from Highlander: The Series

Duncan MacLeod

This doesn't make any sense, Richie, he's supposed to be getting married.

Richie

Not unless it's a shotgun wedding. I'm telling you, Mac, she didn't want anything to do with him.

We were happy. Everything seemed so perfect. Then one day I came home and he said "Honey, come here, I have something to show you." And then he took a knife, and he .... [she can't say it]

Duncan

Then he healed.

He said I had to know... and I wish he'd never told me.

Duncan

He loves you. He had to tell you.

Mr. MacLeod, I have a picture of how I want my life to be. Kids, grandkids... a family. It may sound stupid, but it's what I see.

Richie

So you called it off.

But he won't let me. And he won't leave me alone. He nearly beat a guy to death just for talking to me.

I'll kill you in a second, boy. Leave while you've still got your head.

Richie

There's only one thing I hate more than being called a "boy". And that's your stupid paintings.

Richie

I'd kiss you, but people might talk.

Duncan

They might.

Duncan

Immortality definitely has an upside. Think about it, in 400 years you might be racing starships instead of Harleys.

Richie

You think things are going to change that much?

Duncan

Well, Richie, when I was a kid, the fastest way to travel was by horse, and if you wanted to fly, you had to be a bird.

Richie

That's the way it is, isn't it? -- get them before they get you. I've been practicing. Next time you pull a sword on me, it won't be so easy.

Duncan

Richie, I'd like to take back what happened, but I can't. But what you're doing is wrong and you know that, don't you?

Richie

Thanks for the tip.

Richie

Look Mac, if the bail comes with a lecture I'd just as soon wait it out in a cell.

Duncan

The guy who's after you. Haresh Clay.

Richie

What about him?

Duncan

I've met him once before.

Richie

Then how come you're both still alive?
