[At his parents' graves]
RMRachel MacLeod
I'm Rachel MacLeod, and those are my ancestors you're standing on.
Well, mine too, I'm Duncan MacLeod.
Another one. Let me guess, you're here to find you Highland roots.
I didn't know I'd lost them.
S4 E1Homeland
Och, if it isn't the clansman. What can I get you? Haggis? Maybe a kilt?
An ale would do just fine. Are the people of Glenfinnan always this friendly?
We're friendly enough, just careful of strangers.
Really. And since when is a MacLeod a stranger in Glenfinnan?
All this for an ax?!
KKanwulf
An ax? An ax made by the Gods, MacLeod. Used by Loki and Thor themselves.
You can't still believe that.
KKanwulf
As much as they believe in their pale Christ.
[At night. Duncan takes his father's sword down from the wall]
He came back from the dead, claimed his father's sword, killed the Viking, and stopped the slaughter.
That's the legend, Rachel.
The bracelet. Now this. If I asked you to explain, would it make any sense?
[Duncan is silent]
Duncan MacLeod.... maybe some legends are true.
Maybe.
[Rachel is waiting when he returns the sword]
It's over.
I knew you'd be back. The legend. That seems to belong in your hand.
No, it belongs in Glenfinnan. This is it's home.
[She kisses him]
Your's too, Duncan MacLeod.
S4 E6Reunion
Anne, you all right?
Yeah, I'm fine.
Is the baby OK?
Yeah, the baby's... learning to tap-dance I think.
Somebody told me that there was an emergency.
Well, yeah, it's your cousin. (Duncan looks blank) The one from Wisconsin.
Kenny's here?
Yeah, he's in the chapel. I was gonna call security, but I thought, what am I gonna tell them, I've got this kid who could live forever but he's only safe in churches?
[Duncan walks through a minefield]
When you think of me, when you, you know, if you ever had to describe me to someone else, would you think of me as a nurturing person?
(long pause) Definitely. Is that it?
No! I want you to be honest, OK?
How honest?
Honest. I mean, tell me the truth, don't think about hurting my feelings.
OK, then, no. Nurturing is not the first thing that comes to mind when I think of you.
Oh, I don't think you know me very well.
Amanda, you're beautiful, you're smart, and you're a lot of fun. Nurturing's in there... it's just not high on the list.
Well, do you think that I would have made a good mother?
Absolutely.
Really? I mean, because I could take it if you don't think that, you know, I have it in me.
You would have made a wonderful mother.
Really?
[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.
S4 E10Chivalry
[Flashback to 1659]
Hey, you, in the coach, you carry a sword, why don't you use it?
KGKristin Gilles
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.
KKristin
Who the hell are you?
A man who was born long before the age of chivalry. Pick it up.
[They fight]
S4 E11Timeless
You really are a spoiled brat.
CJClaudia Jardine
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.
CClaudia
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.
CClaudia
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?
CClaudia
I thank you by being brilliant.
She said modestly.
Excuse me, if I sat at a table, would you be my waitress?
ABAlexa Bond
(to Joe) Is he a good tipper?
No.
Well. Too bad. Makes up for it in cute, though.
Cute. I can do cute.
