Mac, you ever had it bad for an older woman?
Well, the situation hasn't come up recently.
S1 E15For Tomorrow We Die
XXavier
I'm just trying to earn a few francs. After all, a man's gotta live.
Not necessarily.
[They fight]
S1 E17Saving Grace
War in the abstract is a great intellectual puzzle, but in reality it's all blood and tears.
Then why make it into a game?
To deny what I was is to deny what I am.
GCGrace Chandel
God, I get so tired of it sometimes. We go on and everything around us dies.
Do you still love her?
No.
That's all that needs to be said. She's your friend, and she's been hurt. You'll help her. I'd expect you to do no less.
GGrace
The truth is, you and I were too different.
Maybe if I'd stayed.
GGrace
You would've been unhappy. So I let you go. My wandering knight, charging off to right all the wrongs of the world.
[At her husband's grave]
GGrace
You'd think I'd learn how to handle this, wouldn't you. The strange thing is, every time it happens I tell myself I won't go through it again. I swear to myself I won't fall in love with a mortal. As if love were something you had any control over. You and Mac have something good. I envy you.
Grace, about you and Mac...
GGrace
We had a moment, that was all. Though I wanted it to be more. Please don't hold it against me.
It's funny, but I don't. It would take me several lifetimes to find out everything in Duncan's past. I know there have been others. But I never thought I would meet one of them. And here you are.
S1 E18The Lady and the Tiger
You don't look like someone who would worry much about forgiveness.
Tess, you do know that they all carry big swords with them. Just a thought.
You've always had a taste for beautiful and spirited women, Duncan.
And modest. Don't forget modest.
Time to go. It's been thrilling.
It's been 65 years. A girl might think you're trying to avoid her.
Now how could you think that? Goodbye, Amanda.
[She sent him to prison, now he's escaped and has her helpless]
ZBZachary Blaine
Do you know what I missed most... was the feeling of a good, old fashioned Quickening. SShhhh!!
Wait!
ZZachary
No, after what you did to me, you can't come up with a reason good enough.
I can give you ten million reasons, in American dollars.
ZZachary
Funny, you'd think that would be enough. (prepares to kill her)
I can give you the head of Duncan MacLeod!
I gave up my life of crime, Duncan.
That's what you said in Constantinople, 250 years ago.
I succumbed to an impulse.
I was nearly flayed alive when they came looking for you.
But you got away. You always do.
After all she's done to you, why do you care whether she's happy or not?
I don't know, Tessa. She made me laugh when there weren't too many things to laugh about. Maybe that doesn't seem important, but those are the things I remember of her.
She makes me feel like I have to compete with her. Maybe if I'd been a lady pirate or something....
whoa, whoa, whoa, wait a minute. Richie, give us a moment, would you?
I was just leaving. [He leaves]
Hey, listen to me young lady, she's no competition. Hmmm?
[They kiss]
ZZachary
Why try to save her, MacLeod? She's betrayed you before.
At least I'm smart enough to stay out of jail.
[They fight]
S2 E5An Eye For an Eye
She (Tessa) was part of our lives, Richie. Never pretend she wasn't.
I don't! I keep waking up every morning...
...expecting her to be there. Get used to it, it won't be the last time it happens to you.
When does this start getting easier?
It doesn't.
I keep waiting to feel different. Like someone's going to tell me how to be, what to do.
What were you expecting, a set of instructions?
[Flashback to Ireland, 1920]
ADAnnie Devlin
Why don't you stay? It will be a beautiful war.
War is never beautiful, Annie. Leave with me. This will never end.
AAnnie
It will when we win. Or when there's no one left alive to fight.
