[John is mortal. Rebecca is not. ]
J John
Promise me something. You will leave me before I get too old.
R Rebecca
You are in a good mood today!
J John
Well, I'm serious. Listen, Rebecca, you deserve a younger man.
R Rebecca
I have a younger man. I have what I want.
J John
There's two things...
R Rebecca
John, you are the love of my life. You're the love of a dozen lifetimes. I don't care if you are 23, or 53, or 103. I am never going to leave you. Ever.
MacLeod, do you ever wonder what it is like to die?
I know, you meant really die. Be gone forever.
So you do think about it.
Not for myself. Not any more. Whatever happens, happens.
I don't know. The longer I live the more I get attached to myself.
Sooner or later everyone dies. Even us.
I don't mind the later, it's the sooner part I don't like.
[Flashback to 1635 ]
Why take a man's head when you can have his gold?
What? You taught me to be clever.
R Rebecca
I also taught you to be honest.
Ah yes, I forget that part.
Hmmmm. Breakfast in bed. You better watch it, MacLeod. They say this is how love starts.
Was the crystal really worth Rebecca's life?
L Luther
It's worth any amount of lives.
Whoever has the crystal becomes invincible. Is that it?
It's a myth, Luther. A story told by bored people around campfires.
You stuck your nose in without being asked, the least you could do is say you're sorry.
What, for saving your life?
Oh don't change the subject!
