Methos
* Mi casa es su casa. * Made any sense of it, found any purpose? ... That's what I ask, if I'd just met me. * It's good to be a myth. * What better place to hide? I'm in charge of finding myself and I make sure it never happens.* How many people have been on the same stage with Julius Caesar and the Rolling Stones? * Uh, what are we - 6th of March - uh, 200 years. * I may be a bit rusty but I'm still here. * You cannot fight my battles for me, MacLeod. * Do you think I want to die?  Do you think it's easy after thousands of years? * He can beat me. He might beat you. He can't beat both of us. * Because it's not just a matter of who is the best fighter. It is about passion, and hate. I don't have the fire. You do. You want Kalas. * Remember, Highlander, live, grow stronger. Fight another day.
 

Finale I
* I don't suppose this problem has a name, does it? * I wasn't thinking, I was improvising. * What do you expect? Einstein? Freud? Buddha? Sorry Joe, I'm just a guy. * People living forever, running around cutting each other's heads off with swords. It'll be filed away with alien abductions and Elvis sightings. * Empires rise and fall, Joe. Remember the old Chinese curse. * Well, life as we know it is over. * He didn't save her. He saved you.

Finale II
* Everyone feel better now? * I've got a lot to offer. Five thousand years of history, Joe. I was there. * Why would I tell the truth? * I was in Rome once. 93 AD, the Coliseum.  I saw Christians facing the lions. Some of them looked almost happy to die for their faith. Then afterwards, the only ones looking happy were the lions. * No, it's about sacrifice. It's a hell of a thing to be a martyr, MacLeod, and that's what Kalas wants. He's pushing all your buttons. * The passion of youth. * If you die, Amanda will be free to date. * Come on, buddy. Let's see what kind of trouble we can get ourselves into. *

Chivalry
Candy gram! * Only you and Joe know that I'm Methos the immortal - to the rest of the world I'm still Adam Pierson, mind mannered watcher. * A lot quieter since you left. * Maybe he hasn't gotten out of bed yet. * Round one to Kristen. * Katana is a lovely piece of art. May I? I washed my hands this morning. * Not only are you naive, now you are weaponless. How have you lived this long? * You're better with a  blade than her, yes. You're stronger than her, yes. But if you keep letting her walk away, one day she gets lucky and takes your head - yes! * Great! You knock me on my bum because I made a bad joke. Very macho. * I can see how that could get a bit annoying. * How could he? She's got him tingling in places he didn't even know he had. * Guess this must be what it's like to have kids. Yeah, you do your best, teach them what you know, try and show them the right path, and then they just have to get on with it. * If she'd been a man, she'd have been dead 350 years ago. * A couple of medieval song writers came up with the idea of chivalry one rainy day and you embrace it as a lifestyle. You live and die by a code of honor that was TRENDY when you were a kid. * Look at me MacLeod - I didn't last 5000 years by worrying about anyone but myself. * First you dump her, then you turn your back on her? Talk about the blind leading the visually challenged. * A man born long before the age of chivalry. Pick it up. * Someone had to. * She would've kept coming, you know. Sooner or later, she might have won. And still if you had the chance you wouldn't kill her, would you? * Duncan MacLeod of the Clan MacLeod ... I guess someone has to be. *

Timeless
Excuse me, if I sat at a table would you be my waitress? * Paris is too full of Parisians. Even the French don't like Paris. * Venice - the smell alone will kill you. * Cute. I can do cute. * I see I leave you speechless.  This is an excellent start. * To - dinner, a film, a concert, a smile, a sunset, a walk, all of the above, whatever you would like. * Because the alternative is unthinkable. * Lucky guess. Or else I've become horribly predictable. * It's my nose, isn't it? Yep, it's the nose. * It's because you think I'm English. It's my accent. Now, I don't have to be English, I can be - Russian. * Absolutely. We'd better make it tonight. * I know she's dying, OK? You are ALL  DYING.  20 years, six months, what's the difference? * Yes, I get it. Now, tell me where she lives. * You look beautiful to me. Look, whatever it is that you're going through, I can handle it. If you'll let me. * You spend whatever time you have left dying, or you spend it living. With me.

Deliverance
* Get in! What do you want, a written invitation? * Because of who you are! You're too important to  lose! * I've known a lot of us in 5000 years. Of them all, you were the best I'd seen. * I'm too old for this. * Why? Because you're alone? Because it's just you against all that evil? You're not alone. Not out here. And not in there.

Methuselah's Gift
* Yeah, from the moment I saw her. Is that supposed to make it easier? Is that supposed to make it OK? If there is one chance that I can save her, then I have to try. * You understand nothing. Three weeks ago, we were standing on a beach on Santorini watching the sunrise on the Mediterranean. Now she is  lying in a hospital in Switzerland BREATHING through a TUBE.  You think it takes courage to do what we do? Face another immortal with a sword knowing only one of you will live? YOU TRY BEING HER! You try living one year knowing your time is running out. Knowing that when it comes to the final fight, however much you train, whatever tricks you have, you STILL LOSE. That's the way it is for them.  So little TIME for them to SEE anything or DO anything. * I haven't seen a vault this tough since I road with Butch and Sundance. * No one was laughing. It was a way to keep track of the others, to stay clear of them. I was playing a charade, but it wasn't to betray you. I respect you - you have a sense of purpose, a dedication to history. * No, I wanted the crystals because someone I love is dying. * Cut clean. * She'll never know how close I came. * As much as I can for as long as she lives. * You keep it. Think of us.

Through a Glass Darkly
 * She loved Greece. Santorini especially. I think she would've liked to have been buried there, but I didn't want her to be so far away. * You know, I knew Alexa was dying. Every moment we were together, everywhere we went I knew. And yet when she finally closed her eyes, I was surprised. * Aren't you a little young to be so smart? * You should be more paranoid. Look, Cochran runs out screaming bloody murder and how do you react? You're confused, off-balance, distracted. Maybe that's what he wants. * I find it safer not to make a habit of it, no! Present company excepted, of course. * Down here in the cellar. There's a fake wall on your right. * Everyone's favorite early Roman cook. What he could do with lentils and chestnuts - looked like tar but tasted ... I'll cook it  for  you  sometime. * OK, so you didn't come here to exchange recipes. * What would it be like, do you think? To start fresh. Maybe it's a blessing. * So lure him outside and take his head. Problem solved. * Part of my charm. * No, I got distracted. Found some texts on first century Chinese apothecaries and couldn't put them down. * You say that like it's a bad thing. * It's a human trait. We remember things the way we wish they'd been. We rewrite history so we can live with it. Ask the Russians. Or for that matter, the Americans, or the British. * What do you expect, the watchers are the immortal FBI? We have lives to live OK? * We all have things in our past we wish we hadn't done. I know I do.

Till Death
*  I wouldn't stay at any hotel that Adam Pierson could afford. * I was married once you know. Come to think of it, I was married 67 - no - 68 times. Never to one of us, though. That would be much of a commitment for me to make. * It's finally happened. You've lost your mind. * Read my lips: N. O. * Oh, that's not fair. You're making it personal now. * You're wasting your time. I haven't felt guilt since the 11th century. * Yeah, but I want to see ME live happily ever after even more. * Like you say darling, I'm an AC-TOR. * Crossed the Atlantic to Iceland with a bunch of Irish monks, 765. Six of us in a rowboat, no facilities. * Showtime! * Wuss. Where's your sense of drama? * I knew it! Getting between a married couple. It's a rule I haven't broken for 2,000 years. I knew this would happen. * Great! So I lose my head after 5000 years so that you can play marriage guidance counselor! I must have been out of my mind! * No, if I'm going to die, you're going to pay me for it. Gimme the keys. * My chair now! * Opera, opera, opera, opera, got a lot of opera here. Gotta do something about this music. No Springsteen, no Queen. * I can explain! It was a joke! * Ohh, I dunno. Pretty funny from here.

Judgment Day
* I've spent years losing my conscience only to have him go and find it again. * I say, let friendship thrive. Let him record all that he has learned.

One Minute to Midnight
* I suppose an improvement was too much to hope for. * Really, guys, it's time for you to start a new life somewhere. Bora Bora's very nice this time of year. * Hey, I wear one of these, too, okay? Or did you forget that? * Does the term self-preservation mean anything to you, MacLeod? * Look at that. Watchers afraid they are going to be killed, holed up in a funeral home. Is it just me or is there some cosmic irony in that? * I'm a pragmatist, MacLeod. The Watchers wanted the real killer, and I want to keep you alive. You can't have it both ways. * I am 5000 years old and I don't know who I am. * You keep telling yourself that, Joe. Maybe you'll start to believe it.

The Messenger
* Hey, grab a beer. There's a cold one in the fridge. * Yeah, Tibet. Yak butter plays hell with the digestion. Besides, I'd had all the enlightenment I could use. * Right, and what crock would that be, exactly? * Well, it's not like it's got a patent or anything. *  Some young sucker is always going to fall for it - Voila! * I was always told that you were a myth. And yet you look very, very real. Tell me, it is true that you were a friend of Socrates? * And, um, I - I've always wondered - Cleopatra, what was she really like? * So what, Genghis Khan and Hitler were just children playing up? * And if their mothers had loved them truly, it would have been a different world. *  Some might think that experience was worth saving. * A little pathos, a little pop psychology - the guy is either delusional, or he is a fraud. * One speech from the Wise One, and you forgive Culbraith. I mean, what's next? Friendship rings, the Love Boat? *  oooooOOOOOOooooo! I'm just saying, don't think too much, cause we can't afford another one on the list. * So Richie is his newest disciple. Isn't that cute? * Oh, yeah. Standard response to unforseen dilemmas, perfected over many centuries. Nothing. * I think I'll go look at the graffiti in the men's room. * Okay, there's this Spanish guy, Alejandro Diego Spinoza. One day he gets called in by the Inquisition for questioning. Red hot pincers, tongs, the usual drill. Now, all he has to do, is say 'no.' OK? Very simple word. They take his home, his money, his lands, but he will not give in. He died screaming in agony. But, he kept his integrity. * Listen, I'm sorry I disappointed you, kid.

The Valkyrie
* When she carries a sword and we haven't been formally introduced, I get shy. * Oh, look at this. There's an exhibition of Greek antiquities. Listen, some of this stuff could be mine! * I believe the phrase is, 'Would you mind if I borrowed your newspaper?' * Well, not exactly funny, but, um, pretty entertaining, yeah. * Oh, MacLeod's tousling with another of his moral dilemmas. * That's OK, sometimes I don't like myself. * Come on, man, you're not buying into that tawdry little guilt-induced melodrama. * It is the ultimate in arrogance to think that one person can alter the course of history. * History makes men, MacLeod. Men don't make history. * Guilty as charged! * Whatever you need - lawyer, doctor, Indian chief - I've got paperwork to cover it all. * So this is the angle now. The end justifies the means. It's not very original. * Mac, that's what HE believed. Remember? What was his name? Adolf something-or-other? * You believe it, you just don't want to hear it. * Good question, right up there with the chicken and the egg. * No, there is an answer. But the real question is whether you're ready for it. Stefanovich killed, and Ingrid judged him. Wilkinson killed, and Ingrid judged him. Ingrid killed, and you judged her. * You hungry?

Comes A Horseman
* Three letters, that would be ... * Well, who the hell is Chubby Checker in the grand scheme of things anyway? I mean, I know how tall Nero was, I know Caesar's favorite food, I know Helen of Troy didn't have that great a face and it only launched a hundred ships not a thousand. * I may not know who Chubby Checker is, but I know when it's time to disappear. * Like I left my heart in San Francisco. * I just passed through my angry adolescence a little quicker than you, Kronos. * Well, we're none of us perfect. * Oh, I'm all for choices. * Since you put it that way - welcome back, brother. * Surprise, you're not dead. * You'll have to try harder than that. * You live because I wish it, and you stay alive as long as you please me. * I am Methos. You live to serve me. Never forget that. * What'd you think I'd do? Run and hide? * Don't you understand? I'm not like that anymore. I have changed. * We didn't exactly exchange gifts. * The times were different, MacLeod. I was different. The whole bloody world was different, OK? * Yes. Is that what you want to hear? Killing was all I knew. Is THAT what you want to hear? * No! It's not enough! I killed - but I didn't just kill fifty, I didn't kill a hundred, I killed a thousand.  I killed TEN THOUSAND. And I was good at it. And it wasn't for vengeance, it wasn't for greed, it was because - I liked it. Cassandra was nothing. Her village was nothing. Do you know who I was? I was Death. Death on a horse. When mothers warned their children that the monster would get them, that monster was me. I was the nightmare that kept them awake at night. Is THAT what you want to hear? The answer is yes. Oh, yes. * Could have gone either way. I couldn't take the chance. * Silas and Caspian. They're not dead. I can take you to them. * It gives new meaning to the phrase ‘dream team'.

Revelation 6:8
* This is Kronos' idea of Camelot. * Have you read Aristotle's Poetics? No of course not, you haven't even seen Casablanca. What is the first rule of great drama? Start small, and build. A fountain to get their attention. Then, a public pool, to kill a hundred. Then, a stadium, to kill ten thousand, then - one drop of the virus in the city's water supply. Within a week ... * Why'd you think I didn't tell you? I knew how you'd react. What I've done, you can't forgive. That's not in your nature. Will you accept it!? * Same as always, trying to survive. * Kronos didn't torch those villages for a few coins, he torched them to watch them burn. And now he'll have a nuclear bomb or a planeload of Napalm but the effect will be the same. The world living in fear of the Horsemen. * I doubt that, Kronos. No one thinks quite like you. * Which is why the plan was perfect. * Stockholm Syndrome. It's like Patty Hearst. Hostages come to rely on their captors for food and approval, and they fall in love. * You thought you did. You thought I would protect you. You forgot what I was! * Like you said, I go with the winner. * You don't anything about me! * I killed Silas! I LIKED Silas! * I wanted to. But we were brothers. In arms, in blood, in everything except birth, and if I judged him worthy to die then I judged myself the same way. And I wanted to live. I still do. * One of a thousand regrets, MacLeod, one of a thousand regrets.

Forgive Us Our Trespasses
* Do you want to knock a bit louder? I don't think they heard you in Philadelphia. * No, it was a good way for you to get your head cut off is what it was. * Nice day for it. Not too cold, ground's nice and dry. * Oh, me, no. Just scholarly interest. I just came by to watch the perfect immortal die. * Not what? Not perfect or not going to die? * Just so long as I'm not writing your epitaph. What Keane hates you for happened. Nothing you do is going to change that. You accept it, MacLeod, it's part of who you are. * We are all both. Good and evil. We have rage and compassion. We have love and hate. Murder and forgiveness. Why don't you try forgiving yourself, for once? * You are such a pain in the ass. * Sticks and stones. * Correct me if I misunderstood, but this was after you framed him, wasn't it? * No, which can be bloody annoying as we both know. * Trial by combat - whoever survives is proved right in the eyes of the law. * And we all have mistakes to forgive.

Modern Prometheus
* As spectator, surely. As participant, never. * There are some questions about life only the dead can answer. * You are mad, sir. Are you trying to get us killed? * Perhaps, dear Mary, death is not truly journey's end but just another bend in the road. If we believe that, we can live without fear. * And I say we leave before we push the bounds of decency. * Let her be, I would rather have your poetry than your head. * Still lacerating the help, I see. * You ever starve to death, MacLeod? Byron feels hunger like that every day. Twenty thousand people screaming his name, it's not enough to fill the hole inside him. * You're not listening to me, I don't want a tombstone.

Archangel
* I think he's hallucinating, Richie. He's seeing people he's killed, and who knows what else he's doing. * Blind loyalty, very common in the young. * Absolutely not.

Indiscretions
* Morgan Walker ... And you are as charming as ever. * Here and there. There mostly. * I don't want to hunt him - I want to keep the hell away from him. *   That would be the basic idea, yes. * Your watcher oath?? Heaven forbid that YOU should get involved with an immortal. That would compromise your precious ethics, wouldn't it? * Perhaps I was one in a previous life. * Charlotte, are you flirting with me? * It's lovely. * I slept with her - you killed her! * Next stage outa Dodge. * What do you want, Joe? Oh, now you need MY help.  I'm an immortal, you're a watcher - but we're in LEAGUE together? Sounds a lot like interference to me. * I beg to differ.  The bullets are back that way! * Thanks nothing.  We're outa gas. * I didn't know I was going to be driving across country! * Look on the bright side, Joe. At least we've got good weather. * Who's counting? I'm not counting. It's eleven, anyway. * Yeah, sure, they won't stop for me, but they'll stop for you.  Course they will. * Technique, my ass. * Hey, don't lay it on me, pal.  You're the one who sent the rookie into the field. You know as well as I do that a sloppy watcher is a dead watcher. * You know where I should be now? I should be 35,000 feet in the air, sinking my teeth into a succulent steak, just anticipating the stewardess come out to plump my pillow. * Well, in the absence of any alternative, I thought I'd do it the old fashioned way. * Joe, you don't have any bullets, and you are NOT quick on your feet. * OK, I'm going to see to the help. And then you and me - we have to talk. Dad. * Two for two! Nice chaps. Even left the car keys. * Well, we know what we gotta do then. * If you don't want to confide in me, that's OK. Don't let the fact that I saved your life influence you in any way. * These last few hours - I feel like there's a bond between us. Whoever thought I'd end up with a watcher as my best friend? * Do you know we actually make a really good team.  Like Scully and Mulder.  Sipowitz and Simone.  Caligula and Incitatus.  Well, not Incitatus, cause he was a horse. * Well, that wasn't so hard, was it? * Course I knew ... And whenever you lie, you do this weird thing with your face. * I'm easily amused. * Do the words ‘compulsive-obsessive' mean anything to you? * Just because I don't LIKE to fight, doesn't mean that I CAN'T. * She'll be back. * Cause I'm very old, and wise. * To someday.

To Be
* I had a tidy little sum wagered on Marconis, too. Had my eyes on a little summer place outside Herculaneum. * Oh, come on Joe. You know how it is.  You don't want to admit to your watcher buddies that your guy's been wacked by some sniveling weasel like Adelius. So you make up a story that he's been - aced by the greatest swordsman in Rome. * You eat a 17 course meal where the main garnish is honey-covered ants and peacock brains ... We are, we drank, we vomited. * Well, is that how YOU'D like to go down in history? * How romantic. Very impractical. * Well, I'm kind of fond of the little vixen myself. * First Amanda, now Joe. I see a very worrying pattern developing here. * Rules? What rules? You think O'Rourke has taken Amanda and Joe to play by some set of rules? * Don't go MacLeod. It's a trap MacLeod. MacLeod, your pants are on fire. It doesn't matter what I say, does it? * I've only been alive for 5000 years - what would I know about it? * Are you playing the hero here, or are you being the martyr? * People DIE, MacLeod. Immortals. Die.

Not To Be
* What are you going to tell them? That I'm an immortal and that I've been masquerading as a watcher all these years? They're not going to like that. They are not going to throw me a party. * Do you think that the Turks didn't know the Armenians were human? That Hitler didn't know the Jews were? I have listened to the screams of midwives being burned by women they had nursed through labor because suddenly they thought they were witches. To admit that they were wrong they would have had to admit that they were murderers, and it's easier for them to make believe that we are all an abomination and let the killing go on. * I am doing something. I'm staying alive. That's all that matters in the end. * I love you, Julian. More than I've loved anyone in - so long I can't remember. That's why I told you. But you have to trust me on this one. * Hey, give me a beer. I said, give me a beer. What's it take to be served in this hole? * You're looking at me as if you know me. You DON'T know me. * We are friends. Good-bye, my friend.* Do you really need to be a hero that badly? * What's it going to be, Joe? The heart? Or maybe the belly. Or perhaps a little off the top here. * You're in Paris! And I just saved your life. I had to get you shot to do it, but you gotta take the rough with the smooth. * What are you raving at? Joe is a bit tied up at the moment. You've been off in the bloody wales. Now come on - O'Rourke's men are probably right behind me. * You should see me at Halloween. * You know, this ‘bad guy just your size' routine never works. * I should have shot the bastard when I had the chance. *

Yousa.  Do we love this boy or what?  Bring on the Methos chronicles!
