Methos: You understand nothing. Three weeks ago, we were standing on a beach on Santorini, watching the sun rise 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 that 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.

Amanda: How can you not be excited, MacLeod? Just the smell of sawdust, popcorn and cotton candy. This makes me feel like a kid! Oh, isn't it exciting! I mean the sights, the sounds, the carnies!

[Flashback to 1696]
Robert: Well, well, well, what have we here, mice in the parlor. And Immortal mice at that.
Hugh Fitzcairn: I told you there was another way in. Didn't I tell you?
Duncan MacLeod: Be quiet! I'd be careful who I called a mouse, especially if I was a rat.
Robert: (gazing at Gina) If you're a thief, I've never seen a comlier one.
Duncan: You're the thief, we're just protecting her assets.
Robert: And they are wonderful assets.
Fitzcairn: If you please sir! A gentleman does not address a lady in that manner! I'll have his head!
Duncan: Ah, don't be ridiculous. You being dead would probably put her off her appetite.

[At Robert and Gina's wedding (1696)]
Fitzcairn: You realize, none of this would have happened if she had come to the opera with me that night.
Duncan: No, she would have seen you for the raving lunatic you are and she would have been with me.
Fitzcairn: I should have asked her to marry me while I still had the chance.
Duncan: You, married? You couldn't stay faithful to a woman for what, more than one hour?
Fitzcairn: Well I would have given it a fair try.

Duncan: Like you said, this is the twentieth century. I left prophecies behind with the witches and the fairies.
Cassandra : Duncan, listen to me. The prophecy tells of a Highland foundling born on the winter solstice who passes through darkness into light and survives to challenge the voice of death.
Duncan: Really? Is this before or after I slay the dragon?

Graham Ashe: We fight to stay alive -- don't forget to live. Imagine what you can see in a thousand years. Imagine what you can do. It's all there for us, Duncan, because we are blessed. Blessed beyond reason with the gift of eternal life. And every year brings something new -- a new vintage, a new fighting move... or a new pattern of flowers on an Italian hillside. Open your eyes and see it. Cherish it
