Amanda: 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?
Duncan: (long pause) Definitely. Is that it?
Amanda: No! I want you to be honest, OK?
Duncan: How honest?

Amanda: Oh, I don't think you know me very well.
Duncan: 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.
Amanda: Well, do you think that I would have made a good mother?

[MacLeod hands it over]
Methos: Ahhh! Quite a blade.
[Methos puts blade to Duncan's neck]
Duncan: Not funny, Methos.
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?
Duncan: All right, you've made your point.
Methos: Have I? One day she is going to kill you.
Duncan: She's tried already.
Methos: 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!
Duncan: Oh, I don't know, maybe she'll start to gloat like you.
[Duncan knocks Methos down and escapes]
Duncan: You wanna play?
Methos: 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.

Methos: A couple of medieval songwriters come up with the idea of chivalry one rainy day...
Duncan: This isn't about chivalry!
Methos: ...and you embrace it as a lifestyle. You live and die by a code of honor that was trendy when you were a kid.
Duncan: Would you rather that I had no code of honor at all?

Claudia: You know, just because you think you own me doesn't mean you can tell me how to live my life.
Duncan: I don't think I own you.
Claudia: Oh yes you do. If you hadn't paid for Julliard, the Paris Conservatory, I would probably be stuck in some crummy lounge in Las Vegas doing my one millionth rendition of Proud Mary.
Duncan: Is this a thank you I'm hearing?
Claudia: I thank you by being brilliant.
