GGrayson
I shall hunt down your proteges, one by one, until you sicken of it and come out of sanctuary to fight me.
Will it please you that much to destroy me?
GGrayson
Immensely.

Grayson! You believed in me once.
GGrayson
I didn't change, you did.
So what makes this Grayson guy so different from the others?
He's 1400 years older than I am. He's one of the few ancient Immortals left. He's been a warlord most of that time. You don't just go up to him with your sword and say "Tsst, tsst, tsst! En garde, fool!".
The legend has it that Darius killed a holy man at the gates of Paris, the oldest living Immortal at the time. And suddenly he changed. He turned his back on war.
Did Darius ever change you?
Yeah, I guess he did. I was born of a warrior people. When war came I chose sides like most men. I fought. I killed.
[Flashback to Waterloo, 1815]
You shouldn't be taking part in this tragedy.
I was raised a warrior. I choose battles I believe to be just.
Oh, I'm sure. You're quite loyal to your convictions and compatriots... But I wonder what these (dead) men think about that, about convictions and compatriotism now?
[Duncan's thoughts as he prepares for battle]
Hope doesn't conquer a superior adversary. So why do I hope to beat Grayson? Why do I think that a good life will protect me from an evil one? What power can I draw from this thing, this hope?
VPVictor Paulus
You've saved my life again. Why are you... who are you?
I'm a friend of Darius.
VVictor
You didn't learn this (fighting) from Darius.
I wasn't much of a student.
I wasn't always a priest, you know. When I was a young man the first thing you had to do when introduced to a woman was compliment her father's horse. (Richie looks doubtful) Well, that probably doesn't help you.
It's a good job, huh?
Great job.
Great. I like being kept.
Kept?
Yeah, I mean, hang out on the barge, catch up on my reading, while you bring home the bacon.
Barge, what barge?
Oh I forgot to tell you about the barge. No self-respecting museum curator would live anywhere else.
So I slave away all day while you sunbathe on a barge. Is that it?
Yeah, but just think of how ... rested I'll be. He he he...
