Highlander: The Series, Season Two

Duncan MacLeod:
She (Tessa) was part of our lives, Richie. Never pretend she wasn't.

Richie:
I don't! I keep waking up every morning...

Duncan:
...expecting her to be there. Get used to it, it won't be the last time it happens to you.

Richie:
When does this start getting easier?

Duncan:
It doesn't.

Richie:
I keep waiting to feel different. Like someone's going to tell me how to be, what to do.

Duncan:
What were you expecting, a set of instructions?

[Flashback to Ireland, 1920]

Annie Devlin:
Why don't you stay? It will be a beautiful war.

Duncan:
War is never beautiful, Annie. Leave with me. This will never end.

Annie:
It will when we win. Or when there's no one left alive to fight.

[Referring to his fight with Annie]

Richie:
I could have killed her, Mac. I mean, that's what I'm supposed to do, right?

Duncan:
Sometimes.

Richie:
I couldn't do it. I thought I could, but I couldn't. Maybe I'm just not cut out for this.

Duncan:
You're still who you are, Richie. You don't change when you become Immortal, you just live longer. Hopefully.

Richie:
Oh, boy, I'd say I got a lot to learn.

Duncan:
You still have time.

[Duncan presents Richie with a sword]

Duncan:
Take good care of it. Live with it. Make it part of you. Might be the only friend you have.

Duncan MacLeod:
You know, there's a problem with thinking the strongest can take what they want.

Caanan:
Yeah, what's that?

Duncan:
There's always somebody stronger.

Amanda:
You know, you won't let me change. You really expect me to steal, don't you?

Duncan MacLeod:
I expect sharks to bite, too. Don't take it personally.

Amanda:
I really do like you, Duncan. Let's just play house for 70 or 80 years.

Duncan:
Who were those guys?

Amanda:
I swear on my mother's grave...

Duncan:
You don't have a mother.

Amanda:
Why won't you believe me? I've never seen those guys before in my life.

Duncan:
Funny, they seemed to know you.

[Amanda wants to know why Duncan is smiling]

Duncan:
Why can't I just smile? I'm happy, we're safe for now, I've just made love to the most devious, scheming, deceitful... beautiful woman in history.

Amanda:
Do you really think I'm one of the most beautiful women in history?

Amanda:
I told you, I'm not a thief any more.

Duncan:
So you turned to counterfeiting instead?

Amanda:
Well, I ran out of money, what else am I supposed to do?

Duncan:
Oh, a job is out of the question.

Amanda:
Would you get serious, MacLeod.

Duncan:
Wait, wait, counterfeiting and honesty, they go well together, right?

Amanda:
Don't be so picky, my heart was in the right place.

Carl:
Maybe it's just time for old Carl to move on, man.

Duncan:
And do what?

Carl:
Hey, I'll get by. You just take care of yourself.

Duncan:
You still don't get it, do you?! You are an immortal. You have something other people will never have: time, and the ability to make the difference. No, listen to me, man! Listen to me! You can do whatever you want, be whatever you want! You can live the dream. Most people grow old and die before they can do that.

Mako:
I always thought that you were a man that respected the law.

Duncan MacLeod:
I like to see justice done.

Duncan:
A man can't always live by the law.

Mako:
A man cannot live any other way.

Mako:
I have been a lawman for almost 600 years. Even before I was Immortal. I have seen cities burned, I have seen children slaughtered. Law is what separates us from the beast. When we leave it, we leave a hole with no bottom.

Laura:
You don't exactly trust me, much, now do you?

Duncan:
I don't know you.

Laura:
So you don't believe me.

Duncan:
No, I believe that you're frightened, and I believe that you're running from something. I'm just not sure what.

Duncan:
When you're young and you care about someone, you think with your heart. You don't see clearly.

Laura:
I don't know why you're so worried about Richie. I mean, you act like you're his father or something.

Duncan:
I'm not his father, Laura, but he is like family to me.

Mako:
I'm looking for a girl.

Duncan:
Try working on your personality.

Duncan:
Richie, where is this going from here? What happens if you are out on the road and a cop recognizes her? What are you going to do, kill him? How far is this going to go, Richie?

Richie:
I don't know, Mac, I don't know! All I know is, I gotta help her, Mac. Mac, she needs me.

[John is mortal. Rebecca is not.]

John:
Promise me something. You will leave me before I get too old.

Rebecca:
You are in a good mood today!

John:
Well, I'm serious. Listen, Rebecca, you deserve a younger man.

Rebecca:
I have a younger man. I have what I want.

John:
There's two things...

Rebecca:
John, you are the love of my life. You're the love of a dozen lifetimes. I don't care if you are 23, or 53, or 103. I am never going to leave you. Ever.

Amanda:
MacLeod, do you ever wonder what it is like to die?

Duncan MacLeod:
Every time.

Amanda:
That's not what I meant.

Duncan:
I know, you meant really die. Be gone forever.

Amanda:
So you do think about it.

Duncan:
Not for myself. Not any more. Whatever happens, happens.

Amanda:
I don't know. The longer I live the more I get attached to myself.

Duncan:
Sooner or later everyone dies. Even us.

Amanda:
I don't mind the later, it's the sooner part I don't like.

[Flashback to 1635]

Amanda:
Why take a man's head when you can have his gold?

Rebecca:
Amanda!

Amanda:
What? You taught me to be clever.

Rebecca:
I also taught you to be honest.

Amanda:
Ah yes, I forget that part.

Amanda:
Hmmmm. Breakfast in bed. You better watch it, MacLeod. They say this is how love starts.

Duncan:
Was the crystal really worth Rebecca's life?

Luther:
It's worth any amount of lives.

Duncan:
Whoever has the crystal becomes invincible. Is that it?

Luther:
So you know.

Duncan:
It's a myth, Luther. A story told by bored people around campfires.

Amanda:
You stuck your nose in without being asked, the least you could do is say you're sorry.

Duncan:
What, for saving your life?

Amanda:
Oh don't change the subject!
