Duncan and Walter in “Timeless”

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.

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?
