TV show quotes
[Amanda touches Anne's belly]
Wow... so what's it like?
Oh, like all the cliches. Carrying a watermelon, walking like a duck. And this is the easy part. The tough part comes when she gets here.
Are you scared?
Terrified. You know, I'm a single mother, I work crazy shifts and weird hours. She's gonna need me, and the ER's gonna need me, and I haven't figured out how I'm going to make it all work yet.
You know what? I think your going to do great.
[Flashback to 1659]
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)
Immortality definitely has an upside. Think about it, in 400 years you might be racing starships instead of Harleys.
You think things are going to change that much?
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.
MacLeod-san, that katana is a lovely piece of art. May I? I washed my hands this morning.
[MacLeod hands it over]
Ahhh! Quite a blade.
[Methos puts blade to Duncan's neck]
Not funny, 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?
All right, you've made your point.
Have I? One day she is going to kill you.
She's tried already.
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!
Oh, I don't know, maybe she'll start to gloat like you.
[Duncan knocks Methos down and escapes]
You wanna play?
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.
You know what she was to me.
Yes, and I know what she is. A killer. You treat her like one.
A couple of medieval songwriters come up with the idea of chivalry one rainy day...
This isn't about chivalry!
...and you embrace it as a lifestyle. You live and die by a code of honor that was trendy when you were a kid.
Would you rather that I had no code of honor at all?
I would rather you survived. You put that first.
[Duncan disarms Kristin but cannot kill her]
Pick it up.
Who the hell are you?
A man who was born long before the age of chivalry. Pick it up.
[They fight]
You really are a spoiled brat.
I was a spoiled brat when we first met, but now... I'm a genius.
Silly me, I forgot. (hands her a glass) Here. It's not poisoned, although I'm tempted.
You know, just because you think you own me doesn't mean you can tell me how to live my life.
I don't think I own you.
Oh yes you do. If you hadn't paid for Juilliard, the Paris Conservatory, I would probably be stuck in some crummy lounge in Las Vegas doing my one millionth rendition of Proud Mary.
Is this a thank you I'm hearing?
I thank you by being brilliant.
She said modestly.
Excuse me, if I sat at a table, would you be my waitress?
(to Joe) Is he a good tipper?
No.
Well. Too bad. Makes up for it in cute, though.
Cute. I can do cute.
I'm, uh, Adam Pierson.
Where are you from?
Umm...
Your accent. Your not from here.
No, I've traveled a lot.
Really?!?! Paris?
Paris is too full of Parisians. Even the French don't like Paris.
Venice?
Venice, the smell alone would kill you.
A little young to be so cynical, aren't you?
Well, if you say so.
I just did. (leaves)
What did I say?
Ah, forget it, Alexa's not your type, OK?
[Discussing Claudia]
How long have you known her?
Since she was 14. She was living with a foster family. Pretty poor, and intimidated that they had a prodigy in their midst.
And does she know...
That she's one of us? Doesn't have a clue.
[Walter has been trying to kill her]
You're completely insane!
It makes so much sense, MacLeod! Don't read something diabolical into it.
Immortality is not a game of tag. You can't say "you're it!" or "you're it!". It's not for us to decide when a mortal life is over.
But I must. If she doesn't die, now, at the pinnacle of her genius, it could be lost forever.
You don't know that!
Ooh, Shakespeare. I found my purpose, MacLeod. Imagine, Claudia Jardine's talent living on through the ages... under my loving guidance.
Walter, get a life!
Don't you see, she'll thank me. She will always be young, and beautiful, and passionate...
...and what happens when her fans see that she's not getting any older?
Well... either you like to drink or you're crazy about the blues.
No, I was waiting for you... I see I leave you speechless, this is an excellent start.
A start to what?
To... Dinner, a film, a concert, a smile, a sunset, a walk, all of the above, whatever you would like...
Do women really fall for that line?
I have no idea, I've never used it before.
.... Why do you want to go out with me?
Because the alternative is unthinkable.
I'm dying. You see, don't you? We can't go out tomorrow.
Absolutely. We'd better make it tonight.
Where's Alexa? We have a date.
She called in sick.
Where does she live?
Adam, she doesn't want to see you, OK? Just leave her alone.
Joe, I didn't ask for your opinion. I know she's dying, OK. You are all dying. 20 years, 6 months, what's the difference?
She's protecting herself. She's protecting you, don't you get it?
Yes, I get it! Now tell me where she lives.
Amanda, you've lived for over a thousand years, how many times have you seen real magic?
MacLeod, I was an illiterate thief starving on the street before Rebecca found me and made me her student. This is all I have left of her. Magic or not, no-one's gonna take this from me!
