I'd kiss you, but people might talk.
They might.

I'd kiss you, but people might talk.
They might.
So, is this the way it's always going to be?
I don't know. I can't see into the future. Can you live with it?
I don't know. But I'd really like to try.
Amanda?
Gotta hand it to you, MacLeod...You've got a memory like an elephant.
Amanda, what are you doing here? Besides making a fashion statement.
You like it?... I'm making you dinner...
Come on, Amanda, give. What do you really want?
Just to make you happy.
Why?
So you won't kill me when I tell you what happened.
What the hell are you doing here?
Came to hear some jazz.
Jazz.
You know, American music. Miles, Coltrane, Wynton...[off his look] Alright, I was looking for you. [his look doesn't change] Alright, I was looking for Kalas! You know you can really be irritating sometimes?
That went well. What the hell were you thinking of?
I wasn't thinking, I was improvising.
By cutting yourself open? And it took you five thousand years to figure that out.
You're disappointed in me, aren't you? Gimme a break. What were you expecting? Einstein? Freud? Buddha?
Forget it.
Sorry, Joe. I'm just a guy.
It's morning. I'm tired. It's hopeless. We'll never find him. Our only lead back to Kalas and you had to kill him.
I told you, I didn't kill him. He fell.
On his gun?
Yes!
And it went off just like that.
Just like that.
Well. Life as we know it is over.
Remember when Gustave Eiffel built this thing?
World's Fair, 1889. Half the people thought it would ruin Paris forever. There were fist-fights all along the Champs Elysees.
Now you can't imagine Paris without it.
I've got a lot to offer. Five thousand years of history, Joe...I was there.
History's been written. People have been known to kill the messenger who waltzes in with a new version of the truth.
Why would I tell the truth?
C'mon, MacLeod... Haven't you ever wanted to do something really crazy?
Amanda, be careful. We don't fly.
Have you ever tried? Relax. Whatever happens, I'll survive.
MacLeod. It seems you're always a day late and a dollar short.
You should have killed him. You had him... I can't believe you let him go!
It's not that simple, Amanda...
I'll tell you what's simple. Dead is simple.
I was in Rome once. 93 A.D., the Coliseum... I saw Christians facing the lions. Some of them looked almost happy to die for their faith.
Your point? Or are you just strolling down Memory Lane here?
But afterwards, the only ones looking happy were the lions
This isn't about faith.
No, it's about sacrifice. It's a helluva thing to be a martyr, MacLeod... And that's exactly what Kalas wants. He's pushing all your buttons.
Well, I'm open to suggestions. Enlighten me.
Maybe Amanda's right. You fight your best fight.
[sarcastic] What? Every man for himself and to hell with the rest?
So what if the world finds out? Life's about change. Civilizations rise and fall.
This isn't about civilization, this is about people! Amanda, Dawson, Richie... Our world isn't an ant farm.
[with a touch of admiration and humor] The passion of youth.
[with a sense of humor] Boys will be boys.
And every cloud has a silver lining.
What do you mean?
If you die, Amanda will be free to date.
That's a comfort.
