Why should I trust you? Give me a reason, give me one good reason.
Because there is no one else.

You've forgotten what it's like to be a woman. I think you need a real man to remind you.
What men? All I see are a pair of miserable toads who work for the bastard Richelieu.
GGaston
Cardinal Richelieu does the work of God!
Somehow I doubt God spends much of his time in the sewers of France. Tell me, is it true Richelieu has syphilis? Because if so, that's quite an accomplishment for a eunuch. Well, maybe he's not a eunuch, but you know, I hear it's, um... (points to the end of her little finger)
[They fight. She wins.]
[Flashback to 1640, an inn]
[They are sharing a bed, under strictly honorable circumstances]
I've never met a Scotsman before. Tell me, are they well armed?
Ah-hem. What exactly do you mean?
I mean their swords, of course. What did you think I meant?
Oh, well, your French toad stabbers, they're fine for some, but they're kind of puny.
You think them small?
Och! They're hardly worth your while. Now a Scotsman's weapon, that's another matter. Once it gets going there's nothing that can stop it.
Really?
Aye. Two hands to hold the thing. I doubt you could even hold it.
Surely you exaggerate.
No, not a wee bit. Come to Scotland and I'll show you.
Scotland?
You dinna think I could bring it in here did you? I mean the bloody thing wouldn't fit through the door.
Oh. Oh, you mean your sword.
A claymore, of course. What did you think I meant?
[Taunting a bad guy]
Looking for me? Mine's a .44. Modified. Go right through you. Probably kill your partner too.... Of course, I'm only a girl. Might lose my nerve. Might even miss. (BANG) But not this time.
After the trial, the chief judge was murdered. Albright...
Richard. Richard was his name. Did you ever meet someone truly good, MacLeod? Someone who didn't want money, or power, or, or glory? Somebody beyond temptation and corruption?
You were his bodyguard.
I did a hell of a job, didn't I?
And there's more?
That's how it started. God, I loved him. Richard believed, MacLeod, believed like, like nobody I've ever met before. Justice, compassion. They were his Gods. Being with him was like being inside a warm, bright light. For 10 years, MacLeod. I wanted it never to stop. And then somebody stopped it. Do you know what that feels like?
