“Chivalry” quotes from Highlander: The Series

Duncan MacLeod

Hey, you, in the coach, you carry a sword, why don't you use it?

I could use it now, but then I could not do this. (Kisses Duncan)

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.

Methos

MacLeod-san, that katana is a lovely piece of art. May I? I washed my hands this morning.

Methos

Ahhh! Quite a blade.

Duncan

Not funny, Methos.

Methos

Not meant to be. Not only are you naive, now you are weaponless. How have you lived this long? Do you know how many Immortals she's killed? Want a list?

Duncan

All right, you've made your point.

Methos

Have I? One day she is going to kill you.

Duncan

She's tried already.

Methos

You're better with a blade than her, yes. You are stronger than her, yes. But if you keep letting her walk away, one day she gets lucky, and takes your head. Yes!

Duncan

Oh, I don't know, maybe she'll start to gloat like you.

Duncan

You wanna play?

Methos

Great, you knock me on my bum because I make a bad joke. Very macho. But you keep letting her walk away, without even taking a shot, that is very suicidal.

Duncan

You know what she was to me.

Methos

Yes, and I know what she is. A killer. You treat her like one.

Methos

A couple of medieval songwriters come up with the idea of chivalry one rainy day...

Duncan

This isn't about chivalry!

Methos

...and you embrace it as a lifestyle. You live and die by a code of honor that was trendy when you were a kid.

Duncan

Would you rather that I had no code of honor at all?

Methos

I would rather you survived. You put that first.

Methos

Pick it up.

Who the hell are you?

Methos

A man who was born long before the age of chivalry. Pick it up.
