TV show quotes
I knew it, I knew it! Getting between a married couple. It's a rule I haven't broken for two thousand years. I knew this would happen.
She'll cool off, I'm just telling you to be careful, that's all.
Great, so I lose my head after five thousand years so that you can play marriage guidance counselor. I must have been out of my mind!
Honey, I'm home.
So how did you find me? Witchcraft?
Why bother? It's the twentieth century. I used a detective agency.
Like you said, this is the twentieth century. I left prophecies behind with the witches and the fairies.
Duncan, listen to me. The prophecy tells of a Highland foundling born on the winter solstice who passes through darkness into light and survives to challenge the voice of death.
Really? Is this before or after I slay the dragon?
I guess he doesn't like me.
We've got to leave, now! [Duncan starts walking towards Roland] What are you doing?
I guess asking him to dance is out of the question.
The signs for the prophecy are all in place. You're all that stands in my way. Or don't you believe in signs?
Oh no I believe in signs. Don't litter, don't step on the grass, no spitting.
I prefer rest in peace.
Power or no power, this is holy ground, he can't harm us here.
And none of us can avoid our fate. "An evil one will come to vanquish all before him. Only a Highland child, born on the winter solstice, who has seen both darkness and light, can stop him. A child and a man."
We make our own destinies. Nothing is written.
I'm an Immortal, you're a Watcher. We can't cross that line. How many times do we have to be taught that?
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.
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?
Thanks for the tip.
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.
Then for once, keep your vow. Don't interfere.
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
Look Mac, if the bail comes with a lecture I'd just as soon wait it out in a cell.
The guy who's after you. Haresh Clay.
What about him?
I've met him once before.
Then how come you're both still alive?
You're out of the Watchers?
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.
Yeah - With one ass, a man can't dance at two weddings.
You know you were right. I couldn't be both your Watcher and your friend.
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.
You're the serial killer guy?
Among other things. The "serial killer guy" will do.
