“The End of Innocence” quotes from Highlander: The Series

Duncan

I'm an Immortal, you're a Watcher. We can't cross that line. How many times do we have to be taught that?

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.

Joe

I know who I am. I've been a Watcher for more than twenty-five years. It's as much a part of me as your clan MacLeod is to you.

Duncan

Then for once, keep your vow. Don't interfere.

Duncan

What good is philosophy in a fight?

We fight to stay alive -- don't forget to live. Imagine what you can see in a thousand years. Imagine what you can do. It's all there for us, Duncan, because we are blessed. Blessed beyond reason with the gift of eternal life. And every year brings something new -- a new vintage, a new fighting move... or a new pattern of flowers on an Italian hillside. Open your eyes and see it. Cherish it

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?

Duncan

You're out of the Watchers?

Joe

Maybe it's too late... or maybe it's about time. Like Mrs. Wischnoff used to say in my old neighbourhood -- Meit ein tuchas can Meir nisht danzen a tsvai hossannas.

Duncan

Yeah - With one ass, a man can't dance at two weddings.

Joe

You know you were right. I couldn't be both your Watcher and your friend.

Duncan

For thousands of years Immortals have fought and Watchers have observed. One day, there will only be one of us left. And some day maybe none at all. Somebody has to record that we've lived. Somebody has to record the history we've seen and the lessons we've learned.
