Quotes

Kronos: "A bomb of the virus in a fountain. How many do you think that will kill? You've gone soft, Methos."
Caspian: "I'm scared."
Methos: "Are you scared? It's a prelude. Have you ever 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."

Methos: "Why do 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?"

Cassandra: "I'll take your head with my bare hands! You, then Kronos!"
Methos: "I've seen what happens to people who go up against him. If we want to survive, we will keep him happy."
Cassandra: "I didn't do it then, and I won't now. I'd rather die."
Methos: "Then you'll die."

Silas: "How can you do this? How can you go against what you are?"
Methos: "You don't know anything about me!"

MacLeod: "Methos, what about Cassandra?"
Methos: "One of a thousand regrets, MacLeod. One of a thousand regrets."
