150 Best Adrian Paul Quotes

Duncan: [after Methos has had Kalas arrested] Why?
Methos: Because I didn't know if you could beat him.

Duncan: I told Tessa some of it. I thought I was out of it. She didn't need to know all the rules.
Connor: You're not out of it anymore! There can be only one. Remember that rule?
Tessa: One what? One of you? Only one Immortal left in the end? Is that it? And what does the winner get?
Connor: The last one will have the power of all the Immortals who ever lived, enough power to rule this planet forever. If someone like Slan is that last one, mankind will suffer an eternity of darkness from which it will never recover.
Tessa: And you didn't think this was important enough to mention?
Duncan: It's nothing new.
Tessa: It is for me.
Connor: You can't stay out of the Game, Duncan. You've tried before.
Duncan: Damn it, Connor! It had nothing to do with the Game and you know that.

Amanda: Well that does it. Can you believe I maxed out all my credit cards?
Duncan: Everything but your library card, eh?

Duncan: Ohh! Does this come in pink?
Duncan: [to Belson] Who are you? Talk to me!
Joe: [walking up behind Duncan] You'll know soon enough, Duncan MacLeod of the Clan MacLeod.
Duncan: So you do know me.
Joe: We know all about you. Don't look so surprised. I probably know more about you than you know about yourself.

Duncan: One of what?
Amanda: A conscience.

Duncan: It wasn't your fault.
Alec: It was my pride that drove them off that cliff.

Adam: Duncan MacLeod of the Clan MacLeod.

Lyman Kurlow: I watched you hang. Lyman Kurlow.
Peter: Peter Matlin of the, uh, Somerset Matlins, at your service.

Duncan: That's as good a reason as any.

Tyler: [Tyler and Duncan cross swords] Well-Well-Well. What have we here?
Duncan: We are Duncan MacLeod of the clan MacLeod.
Tyler: Fantastic. Tyler King.
Tyler: [Referring to Mickey] Now you give him to me and you'll live for another day, Duncan.
Duncan: Sorry, Tyler.
Tyler: Do yourself a favor. Beat it. I'm not here for you.
Duncan: Well, if you're here for him then you are here for me.
Tyler: Right
Tyler: [Referring to Mickey] Have you talked to him? He's lunch meat. He's barely a blip on the EEG.
Duncan: He thinks. He feels. He's got as much right to life as even you do.
Tyler: What life? He's gonna get whacked soon enough. Why not by me?
Duncan: Because I say so.
Tyler: I-- sorry, I missed that.

Duncan: Do you dance?
Dr. Anne Lindsey: Like a giraffe on roller skates.
Duncan: I doubt that.
Dr. Anne Lindsey: Oh, it's true. In high school, when all the other girls were buying prom dresses, I was dissecting frogs for extra credit.
Duncan: Well, I'm sure that little girl in the emergency room was glad that you did.
Dr. Anne Lindsey: You were watching me? For how long?
Duncan: Long enough to know that you have a real gift.

Duncan: Garrick, why? I was your friend!
John: Because you left me. Because you have no idea what it's like to be burned alive.
Duncan: What are you talking about?
John: They burned me. Can you imagine the smell of your own skin blistering?

Colonel: Who the hell are you?
Duncan: Duncan MacLeod. And you?

Colonel: It's not my primary objective.
Duncan: And what can I do for you, General?
Colonel: That's Colonel.

Duncan: I have come here to ask you not to fight my friend tomorrow.
Paul: Certainly. Have him apologise publicly, then shut his mouth forever about his bloody politics, and the matter will be closed.
Duncan: 'Tis an unfair fight and you know it.
Paul: 'Tis a matter of honour.
Duncan: There is no honour in fighting a man when the advantage is yours. 'Tis sport and nothing more.

Richard H. 'Richie' Ryan: So tell me Mac, are you *always* going to be right?
Duncan: Oh, Rich, I was 75 years-old when I first met her, and I was still a kid. You've got plenty of time.
Richard H. 'Richie' Ryan: If I stay alive long enough.

Joe: Look, why don't you stay, MacLeod?
Duncan: Naw, too many questions left unanswered. Better just to disappear.
Joe: Yeah, I guess that's what legends are supposed to do.

Cassandra: Duncan, listen to me. The prophesy 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?

Nefertiri: How long has it been?
Duncan: About 2,000 years.
Nefertiri: Everything I knew is gone. My home, my world, my queen.
Duncan: Cleopatra?
Nefertiri: I was her handmaiden. And a friend. I was sworn to serve and protect her. I failed.
Duncan: Well, Rome's a lot to take on. Even for us Immortals.

[Referring to Duncan]
Connor: He has most of the fun, and all of the good women.

Kronos: I like it fine right here. Saloons, women, whiskey. No, I'll think we'll stay put.
Duncan: Either way, Koren, on your feet or on your back.
Kronos: I think you came a long way to die.

Carylon: Then who do we get to wear the kilt?
Duncan: Mel Gibson.

Duncan: Are you enjoying this?
Amanda: What? A girl's got to have friends of her own.
Duncan: Same hair, same clothes. Don't you find it a little odd being cloned?
Amanda: You know, I can't help it that the girl has excellent taste, as long as she doesn't have my man.
Duncan: One of you is all I could handle.
Amanda: I gotta get ready, so you'll have to handle me later.
Duncan: I can't wait.

Duncan: I'll die before I give Connor up to the likes of you.

Tessa: I'll only be gone for a few days. You'll be fine without me.

Duncan: You'll be fine.
Richard H. 'Richie' Ryan: That's very reassuring, Mac, but it still hurts.
Duncan: You got lucky this time, Richie.
Richard H. 'Richie' Ryan: You call this lucky?
Duncan: You still have your head.

[From: 8"]
Kronos: You don't understand, I am the end of time.
Duncan: You're history.

Duncan: You could have killed him, why didn't you?
Methos: 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.
Duncan: Kronos was right. You set the whole thing up, didn't you?
Methos: What do you mean?
Duncan: You knew he'd come after Cassandra. And you let him, because you knew I'd come after her. You couldn't kill him but you hoped I could.
Methos: Maybe.
Duncan: [Disappointed] Maybe.

Richard H. 'Richie' Ryan: Are we ever going to have to face each other?
Duncan: Maybe.

Richie: You ever had it bad for an older woman?
Duncan: [laughs] Well, the situation hasn't come up recently.

Adam: A couple of medieval songwriters come up with the idea of chivalry one rainy day...
Duncan: This isn't about chivalry.
Adam: -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: Long ago, I made a vow to protect her family.
Michael: Oh, and now you think you have to protect her from me? She's my prize, MacLeod, my treasure.
Duncan: She's a human being.
Michael: Oh, she's more than that. Haven't you seen the light in her eyes? The way the light plays on her skin? Like porcelain. She's a work of art. You don't destroy a work of art.
Duncan: Let her go.
Michael: I understand this is about honour for you. What about my honour? I'm her husband. She tried to kill me. *Me*! She could have had anything she wanted. A man of honour doesn't come between a husband and his wife.
Duncan: I won't unless I have to. She's under my protection.
Michael: For now.
Duncan: If anything happens to her, I'm gonna have to kill you.
Michael: We'll see.

Duncan: [Attacked by three Immortals at once] You can't do this! This is against the rules!

Johnny: [Johnny wetting his comb in the baptismal font and combing his hair]
Duncan: Didn't anybody ever tell you how to behave in church?
Johnny: I never took too good to Sunday School.
Duncan: Oh yeah, I forgot, Johnny K, going to be the toughest guy in the neighborhood.
Johnny: Oh, not just the neighborhood, MacLeod. Luca found out the hard way. I got three grand for taking him out. Should have seen him, down on his knees, begging, wail like a little baby, crying. I popped him and three of his goofs just for the hell of it.
Duncan: You felt nothing.
Johnny: You kidding me? I felt great. I felt... I felt like God. I am the master of life and death.
Duncan: No no no no, you're a pathetic little punk, Johnny.
Johnny: Watch your mouth, MacLeod.
Duncan: You know how I know what a big guy you are? I asked your friends, oh no I'm sorry, you don't have any friends do you?
Johnny: You know what? I don't need anybody, I don't need friends, I don't need women, and I especially don't need you. All I want is my money.
Duncan: Oh no, I left my wallet in my other pocket.
Duncan: [Pulls out some change]
Duncan: Will this do?
Johnny: [Johnny tries to grab the change]
Duncan: Not fast enough.
Johnny: You're a regular comedian aren't you? Hey funny guy, you know many guys I killed, funny man, funny boy? You know how many?, 249. You don't get it, do you?
Duncan: [Duncan grabs Johnny by the throat] No, you don't get it, little man. You don't play by the rules, then we play another game. Okay? Now run along little man.
Duncan: [Duncan lets Johnny go]
Johnny: [Johnny threatens Duncan] You're a dead man, MacLeod.
Duncan: [Duncan being sarcastic] I'm scared.
Johnny: [Johnny walks off, threatening Duncan] You're dead. Dead man!

Duncan: I'm not your enemy.
[imitating Jack Shapiro]
Duncan: Your presence only proves how dangerous it is for Immortals to know we exist.

Richard H. 'Richie' Ryan: What about us, Mac? You and me?
Duncan: You screwed up, Rich. And it happens to all of us.
Richard H. 'Richie' Ryan: Oh, man. I swear, if I live to be a thousand, I'm still gonna see that guy coming at me again and again. Just wondering if there was something I could have done different.
Duncan: I know. And he won't be the last. They all stay with you.
Richard H. 'Richie' Ryan: I didn't know you believe in ghosts.
Duncan: I believe in the kind you carry with you. Everyone you've loved and everyone you've killed. They never leave you. When you stop feeling and you stop hurting, that's when you're dead inside. And that, my friend, is when I'll worry about you.

Duncan: What a waste.
Richie: You mean Garrick? Mac, he tried to kill you! What's to waste?
Duncan: Insight. Knowledge. He spent centuries understanding his own mind. If only he could have shared what he knew...

Duncan: Need a ride?
Randi: Wherever you're going.
Duncan: Excuse me?
Randi: I mean, all I have to do is stick with you, you'll lead me to a breaking news story.
Duncan: I'm just lucky that way.
Randi: Come on, Macleod. If the FBI and the CIA were half as good as the outfit you work for, I'd sleep better at night.

Amanda: You won't let me change, you know that? You really expect me to steal.
Duncan: I expect sharks to bite too. Don't take it personally.

Duncan: My father couldn't grasp what had happened
Richard H. 'Richie' Ryan: Who could? Man, he must have freaked. I mean, there you were all of a sudden on your feet again. A zombie in a kilt.

Duncan: I want you to meet Anne Lindsey. Anne, meet a man who doesn't believe in the 20th century.
Brother: Oh! I believe in it, I just haven't quite arrived yet.
Dr. Anne Lindsey: Oh, there's no hurry. The singing was incredible.
Brother: Oh, well, we try. If it brought some happiness then it wasn't wasted.

Walter: I've watched the stars burn bright and sure and then, with a flash, disappear. But still, I'm the one that endures.
Duncan: That was pretty good.
Walter: You think so?
Duncan: Yeah. Who wrote it?
Walter: I did.
Duncan: Really?

Connor: As long as I can remember knowing you, you've had all the fun and most of the good women.
Duncan: Lately.
Connor: Lately?
Duncan: That's what I said.
Connor: What are you talking about?
Duncan: Well, I seem to remember that girl in London. The red head. Healthy girl.
Connor: Come on. That was nearly one hundred and sixty years ago.
Duncan: That's what I said. Lately.

Colonel: I'm here for Mark Rothwood.
Duncan: Why?
Colonel: Just bring him to me, MacLeod.
Duncan: Maybe if you told me what this was about.
Colonel: He raped my stepdaughter. Where is he?...... Didn't you hear what I said?
Duncan: I'm sorry. If there's proof, the police will...
Colonel: Lori's word is my proof. I don't need the damn police.

Duncan: He's using your name.
Methos: Well, it's not like it's got a patent or anything...

[Duncan is fighting in the Battle of Waterloo]
Darius: You shouldn't be taking part in this tragedy.
Duncan: I was raised a warrior. I choose battles I believe to be just.
[looking out at the dead soldiers laying on the ground]
Darius: Oh, I'm sure you're quite loyal to your convictions and compatriots, but I wonder what these men think about that, about convictions and compatriotism now.

Duncan: When was the last time you faced anyone?
Methos: Ooh, uh. What are we?
[checks his watch]
Methos: Sixth of March. Uhh... two hundred years.
Duncan: Oh, that's good.
Methos: I may be a bit rusty, but I'm still here.
Duncan: Well, let's keep it that way.

[coming back to life in front of his family]
Duncan: It... It is a miracle!
Ian: No. It is the work of the demon master of the world below.
Duncan: Father.
Ian: No! You're no bairn of mine! You're not my son! You're not my son!

Duncan: [Last line of the episode, with Ritchie now officially an immortal] Ritchie... watch your head.

Charlie: When I was in the Seals, I saw guys with eyes like yours. The lifers. The ones who'd gone to too many battles and never came all the way back.
Duncan: Well, I guess that describes me pretty good.
Charlie: It don't begin to describe you and we both know it.
Duncan: You're playing psychologist and detective all in one night, Charlie. You're pushing your luck.
Charlie: Maybe. But one day I'm going to find out what you're all about.
Duncan: You might be disappointed.
Charlie: I don't think so. You walk pretty close to the edge, McLeod. What are you hiding?
Duncan: You don't want to know, Charlie. Some of the people that found out aren't around any more.

Duncan: Father Laird?
Kanwulf: [Stepping into view] For now.
Duncan: Kanwulf. The hair's different, the clothes... but you're still inside there, aren't you?
Kanwulf: I see you're a little better dressed yourself.
Duncan: Since when does a Viking take the cloth?
Kanwulf: Ah, the good father. I met him coming into town. No-one had seen him yet.

Duncan: [Duncan MacLeod talks about Ingrid Henning's failed attempt to assassinate Adolf Hitler back in 1944] Hitler should have died that day, but we failed. And Ingrid blames herself.
Adam: Come on, man, you are not buying into that tawdry, guilt-induced little melodrama.
Duncan: Oh, I forgot. We're talking to the only guilt-free man in the Western world.
Adam: No, we're talking about Ingrid. It is the ultimate in arrogance to think that one person can alter the course of history.
Duncan: You can't deny that by killing Hitler in '44 thousands of lives would have been saved. Maybe millions.
Adam: Yeah, and if you'd killed him in '43 like Rommel wanted, maybe Germany would have won the war. History makes men, MacLeod. Men don't make history. I'm talking about the time, 'kay? The "Zeitgeist," to quote the Germans. If it hadn't been the little painter from Austria it would have been someone else. Would have been a - I dunno - a shopkeeper, a garbage man. My point is, it doesn't matter. The times were ripe for a Fuehrer.
Duncan: My point is it was Hitler.
Duncan: [Duncan point at Joe Dawson and takes a step forward] You're a historian: what do you think?
Joe: [Joe smiles insouciantly and shakes his head] Uh huh. I'm not getting into the middle of this.
Duncan: Coward.
Adam: Ditto.
Joe: All right. You want an answer? Who gives a damn?"
[Methos looks as if his point has been proved, but Joe continues]
Joe: What matters is that it's Mac's friend.
Adam: Pretty smart... for a kid.
Joe: What are you going to do?
Duncan: In her heart she thinks she's right. And part of me agrees. I don't know how to stop her.
Adam: Don't you?
Duncan: [tight and angry] No. I don't.
[Duncan walks away]
Joe: You know you really can be an arrogant pain in the ass sometimes.
Adam: Guilty as charged.

Darius: Well, war in the abstract is a great intellectual puzzle, but in reality, it's all blood and tears.
Duncan: Then, why make it into a game?
Darius: To deny what I was is to deny what I am.

Duncan: Do you think it's easy killing a woman that you've held in your arms, a woman that you've made love to?
Adam: Take it from me, it's easier than dying!

Methos: Grab a beer. There's a cold one in the fridge.
Duncan: I know, it's my fridge.

[last lines]
Duncan: Petrovic's out of the meat business.
David: Yeah, I heard. It's all over the street. I don't know why you did it but thank you.
Duncan: Oh, it wasn't me.
David: Then who?
Duncan: Kinman.
David: I don't believe it. The man's not human. He keeps on killing and keeps getting away with it. Now he's going to get away with this one too.
Duncan: How are your kids making out?
David: My sister flew in from San Francisco. She's going to be staying with us for a while.
Duncan: That's good. Look, I've got to be going. I just wanted to stop by and see how you're doing.
David: One day at a time. Thanks for all you tried to do. I just wish there'd been some justice for Alice. I'm sorry. I'd better get back to work.
[Duncan starts to leave, then turns back]
Duncan: Mr Markum. Kinman didn't get away with it.

[after cutting his hair in mourning for Richie]
Duncan: No more tears.

[last lines]
Methos: My flight back to Geneva leaves at ten. She'll never know how close I came.
Duncan: She'll know how much you love her.
Methos: As much as I can, for as long as she lives.
Duncan: Here.
[He takes Methos' bag and puts it in the back of the car]
Amanda: [Offering Methos the remaining crystal] Methos, I know this doesn't have the magic but, um... I don't know, I was thinking maybe you'd take it for good luck?
[Methos takes the crystal for a moment, then hands it back to her]
Methos: You keep it. Think of us, huh?
Amanda: I will. Courage, courage.
[She kisses him on the cheek. Methos gets in the car and drives off]
Duncan: Godspeed, my friend. Godspeed.

Adam: She would have kept coming, you know. One day, she might have won.
Duncan: I know.
Adam: And still, if you had your chance again, you wouldn't kill her, would you?
Duncan: Probably not.

Duncan: Sometimes you have to let them go.
Dr. Anne Lindsey: Mm-hm. They're all so fragile. One nut with a gun, one drug addict behind the wheel and... they're just gone.

Duncan: [Methos is walking away] Methos. What about Cassandra?
Methos: One of a thousand regrets, MacLeod. One of a thousand regrets.

Nefertiri: [looking at Duncan's car] What is it?
Duncan: It's a kind of chariot.
Nefertiri: Where are the horses?
Duncan: They're under there.
[pointing to hood]
Duncan: They're real tiny.

Caspian: It's been a long time, you're going to taste good.
Duncan: Yeah? Well you're going to go hungry.

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

Amanda: Are you sure, absolutely sure that you don't want to play house for 70 or 80 years?
Duncan: You're impossible!
Amanda: Not for you ...
Duncan: Amanda, like I said, it's not the right time.
Amanda: I know, I know, but it was just one more shot. Oh, well, we'll always have Paris.
Duncan: And London and Rome and Tulsa ...

Duncan: Be reasonable, Amanda. You were losing.
Amanda: I don't care. It was my right to avenge Rebecca.
Duncan: He was going to take your head.
Duncan: 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.

Duncan: There's a guy watching you, you know.
Amanda: There usually is.

[last lines]
Richie: [Referring to the bottle of wine he and Mac are sharing] That's some strong stuff.
Duncan: Yeah, it takes a little getting used to. Of course, it was a lot younger when Segur gave it to me.
Richie: After all that time, seems almost a shame to drink it now.
[He takes the bottle and goes to drink from it but Duncan takes it back]
Duncan: Well, I wanted to drink it with a friend. Didn't want to have to wait another 250 years.
[He takes a drink from the bottle]
Richie: Thanks, Mac.
[Duncan hands him the bottle and he takes another drink from it]
Duncan: Something bothering you?
Richie: Just Hyde. I should have *whacked* the son of a bitch.
Duncan: Yeah... but I saw him first.
[Duncan takes the bottle and drinks from it, then hands it back to Richie. Richie drinks from it, then grimaces in disgust. He and Mac look at each other and burst out laughing]

Kiem: I needed time alone.
Duncan: Well, you've had 100 years since we last saw each other.
Kiem: And I have used them well. Nature is like a woman, MacLeod. If she is wise, she does not give up her mysteries quickly. Imagine, if Galileo or da Vinci had been of our kind, what wonders they could have coaxed from her.

Victor: [after Duncan has beaten up several of Grayson's men] You've saved my life again. Why are you... who are you?
Duncan: I'm a friend of Darius.
Victor: You didn't learn this from Darius.
Duncan: I wasn't much of a student.

Duncan: You know the rules. Put up your sword. This is holy ground. We can't fight here. Are you crazy? What are you doing? We can't fight here.
Derek: He's right. Remember what God said? Even the Devil can claim sanctuary here.
Gavriel: Well said, Derek. He speaks the truth, my children. Even the Devil fears Armageddon.

Lisa: [after finding a photo of Tess] I thought you were making love to *me*.
Duncan: Lisa, it *was* you.
Lisa: Don't touch me! It was *her*.

Methos: You think I want to die? You think it's easier after thousands of years?
Duncan: Then why?
Methos: Because if you don't kill me, Kalas will.
Duncan: Not unless I get him first.
Methos: And if you don't? I cannot beat him. I have tried. He will take my head and then he will have the strength to take yours.
Duncan: So after five thousand years, your only solution is that I kill you?
Methos: He can beat me. He might beat you. He can't beat both of us.

Liam: You gave your word, MacLeod.
Duncan: Let's just say I had a change of heart.

Duncan: I just didn't think you existed.
Methos: Well, it's good to be a myth.
Duncan: Yeah, no one hunts for a myth. Or a Watcher.
Methos: What better place to hide? I'm in charge of finding myself and I make sure it never happens. Even got a few entries on you in my journal.
Duncan: You keep a diary?
Methos: I've been keeping it almost since writing began.
Duncan: That would make a hell of a read.
Methos: You could say that. How may people have stood on the same stage with Julius Caesar and the Rolling Stones?

Duncan: The Navajo have a saying, "The spirit lives as long as someone who lives remembers you."
Adam: Aren't you a little young to be so smart?

Duncan: I'll take two.
Belson: What?
Duncan: Aren't you selling something in the case?
Belson: No.
Duncan: Oh, funny. I could have sworn that you were. My loss, huh?
Belson: Yeah, no problem.
Duncan: No, but you see, there is. See, I promised the little lady some laser surveillance gear - you know, so that she could keep an eye on the kids.

Duncan: There's only enough room for two.
Amanda: McLeod, please! They're going to kill me!
Duncan: Can you fly this thing?
Amanda: Yeah, you kidding?
Duncan: Just make sure he gets to England in one piece!
Amanda: What about you?
Duncan: I'll manage. Just get out of here!
Amanda: I'll never forget this.
Duncan: [kisses her] Yes, you will.

Methos: So I'm a little weak on pop culture. Well, who the hell is Chubby Checker in the grand scheme of things, anyway? I mean I, I know how tall Nero was, 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, and...
Duncan: Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah...

Duncan: For thousands of years Immortals have fought and Watchers have observed. One day, there will only be one of us left. And some day maybe none at all. Somebody has to record that we've lived. Somebody has to record the history we've seen and the lessons we've learned.

Duncan: The Eiffel Tower. The world's biggest lightning rod.

John: I'm using my Immortality to make this a better world. Why is that so wrong?
Duncan: Because everything you say is a lie!
John: We're beasts when we kill, men when we judge, God when we forgive.
Duncan: Maybe God has forgiven you, but I sure haven't.

Duncan: [after being blown up by Cory's bomb, Cory offers to help Duncan up] Don't touch me!
Cory: [laughing] Oh come on! Macky boy!
Duncan: And don't call me Macky boy!
Cory: Oh sure... you're not mad, are you?
Duncan: [sarcastic] Oh no, why let a little thing like being
[shouts]
Duncan: blown up come between us, huh?

Sheriff: In the future, I'll remember to leave your friends in peace.
Duncan: What future?
[Beheads him]

Amanda: You really don't think these work, do you?
Duncan: I don't know, and neither of us will ever find out.

Kassim: [after Duncan spares his life] Sad. You can't even win with honour.
Duncan: A man of honour lives with what he does. Go.
Kassim: This changes nothing.

Duncan: My teacher always told me that I'd know another Immortal, even one that did nae know it yet.
Devon: What is this? You are a seer? A sorceror?
Duncan: No. Connor, my teacher, told me I would always get this feeling, the same one as I got from you, but it was different. Didn't recognise what it was.
Devon: What you sensed... was greatness.

Duncan: When an Immortal comes for your head, he'll nae be impressed by your fancy, high-falutin' sword work.
Devon: I shall have help. Is that not why one has retainers?
Duncan: There are rules, Marek, by which you're honour-bound.
Devon: Don't bore me, MacLeod. Your rules were not made for one such as I.
Duncan: They're not my rules. They're meant for all of us. For each and every Immortal alive.

Duncan: You guys still don't get it, do you?
Methos: No.
Duncan: I had to take responsibility for what I've done and nothing you two could do was ever going to solve it for me. I had to face him and fight the best fight of my life knowing he'd do the same. Just trust the fates to decide the winner.
Methos: [cynically] Trial by combat. Whoever survives is proved right in the eyes of the law,
Duncan: Bright boy.

Methos: You know, considering how shot to pieces you were, it's amazing you're still alive.
Joe: Ow! Considering who's treating me, I'd say it's a miracle. Watch out. Ow! Where'd you say you studied medicine?
Methos: Heidelberg. 1453.
Joe: Did you major in medicine or dueling?
Methos: Both. A couple more days, you'll be able to travel.
Joe: You don't have to look quite so happy about it.
Methos: You know that run in you had with the Watchers the other night?
Duncan: Yeah?
Methos: Jean Dumar. He was killed the same night. I'm sorry, Joe. I know he's a friend of yours.
Duncan: Hey, it was the other Immortal.
Methos: Yeah, well you try telling that to Shapiro 'cause he's convinced it was you. Really, guys, the time's come for you two to start a new life somewhere. Bora Bora is very nice this time of year.
Duncan: Yeah, well send me a postcard. I'm not leaving.
Methos: Does the term "self-preservation" mean anything to you, MacLeod? Look, you are under a death sentence!
Duncan: Yeah, and I will be until they figure out I'm not the killer. Where's Shapiro?
Methos: Right at the moment, busy trying to kill you.
Duncan: Where is Shapiro?
Joe: Look, don't make it easy for him, Mac.
Duncan: Look, I'm making it easy for him because that's where the killer would go. Now where is he?
Methos: They're hiding out in a mortuary on the left bank.

Amanda: MacLeod, why don't you believe me?
Duncan: Experience.

[last lines]
Rebecca: He used me to get to you, you know. All these years I wasted trying to avenge a man I didn't even know.
Duncan: It's over now.
Rebecca: He was the strongest man I ever met. And then when I thought he was dead... God, I was a fool.
Duncan: You were in love.
Rebecca: I was a fool. And I believed that I'd never meet another man like him again. Until I met you. I almost wish I'd met you first.
Duncan: Go get your life back together again, Rebecca.
Rebecca: Sure.

Duncan: [Duncan MacLeod senses the presence of another Immortal while waking in the gardens]
Adam: So, nice day for it.
[Duncan sighs. Methos goes on, ignoring him]
Adam: Yeah, not too cold, ground's nice and dry.
Duncan: Amanda's got a big mouth.
Adam: She's worried about you.
Duncan: Yeah, and you?
Adam: [Looking at his shoes] Oh, me, no. Just scholarly interest. I just came by to watch the perfect immortal die.
Duncan: I'm not.
Adam: Not what? Not the perfect immortal or not going to die?
Duncan: Go Away.
[Duncan walks off, but Methos goes right along with him]
Adam: We're none of us perfect, MacLeod. Not you, not me, not even Darius. I'm sure not your friend Steven Keane.
Duncan: You should write fortune cookies.
Adam: Yeah, well, maybe I should.
[Methos speeds up and jumps in front of Duncan, forcing him to stop]
Adam: Just so long as I am not writing your epitaph.
[Duncan doesn't say anything]
Adam: 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.
Duncan: Are we talking about me now?
Adam: Yes. Do you remember what happened after Culloden?
Duncan: [Duncan looks away, then back] Yeah. I went after innocent men and slaughtered them.
Adam: No, that's how Keane tells it. I want to know how you remember it. Because they weren't innocent, were they? There were murderers. They were the English bastards who had destroyed your people, and they deserved to die, all of them.
Duncan: You sure all of them did?
Adam: You were. You wanted to kill, you killed them.
[Methos getting a little angry]
Adam: You know, Keane is just like you. He wants to divide the world up into good and bad. Well it's not that simple. We are all both. Good and evil. We have rage and compassion. We have love and hate. Murder and forgiveness.
[Duncan looks away, almost like he's bored]
Adam: Why don't you try forgiving yourself, for once?
Duncan: Why don't you try minding your own business. For once. Tell Amanda to do the same.
Adam: [Methos smirks and steps aside, gesturing along the path] She can't say I didn't try.
[Duncan walks past, Methos watching him go. Duncan backs away a few steps, not turning his back, but finally turns to go. As soon as he does turn his back, Methos pulls out a gun and shoots him]
Adam: You are such a pain in the ass.

Methos: Think... think... think about the poetry. Think about the music that he's made. Think about the music that he'll still make. You going to kill all that as well?
Duncan: And what about Mike? What music could he have made?

Duncan: [Cradling a dying Charlie] You can't kill him, Charlie. You never could. Cord is immortal.
Charlie: What?
Duncan: I promised I'd tell you the truth one day. Cord is immortal... so am I.
Charlie: [Coughing and spluttering] I always knew there was something weird about you, MacLeod. Now it all starts to fit. Don't suppose you could spare some, could you?
Duncan: I wish I could have told you, man.
Charlie: So there was no way I could have killed that son of a bitch.
Duncan: No way. But I can.
[Charlie dies]

Duncan: You really thought I'd lose?
Methos: Yeah. And you didn't?
Duncan: It wasn't about that. You guys still don't get it, do you?
Methos: No.
Duncan: I had to take responsibility for what I'd done. Nothing you two could do was ever going to solve it for me. I had to face him and fight the best fight of my life knowing he'd do the same. It's just the Fates that decide the winner.
Methos: Trial by combat. Whoever survives is proved right in the eyes of the law.
Duncan: Bright boy.
Amanda: But what if he comes after you again?
Duncan: He won't.
Amanda: How do you know that?
Duncan: Because I wouldn't.
Amanda: Well, he's not you.
Duncan: He's not that different. None of us are. We all make mistakes.
Methos: And we all have mistakes to forgive.
Amanda: Speaking of mistakes, there seems to be an inspector who is determined to put my cute little butt in jail.
Duncan: Sorry about that.
Amanda: She won't forgive me?
Duncan: Oh no, I don't think she should.
Methos: I think this is my cue to leave.
Amanda: Bye Methos.
Duncan: Bye Methos.
Methos: You guys be good.
Duncan: If not, we'll try to be better.

Sheriff: Your friend Lucas died on his knees, begging for his life.
Duncan: We'll see how you do.

Methos: I was hoping I'd find you here.
Duncan: Leave me alone.
Methos: With God or with your demons?
Duncan: Look at me. See me as I am, not as I was. Or as you want me to be. I will kill you.
Methos: You might.
Duncan: I don't want to.
Methos: And that is your salvation.
Duncan: There is no salvation for me.
Methos: Why? Because you're alone? Because it's just you against all that evil? You're not alone. Not out here.
[He touches Duncan's chest]
Methos: And not in there. Why are you in a church, MacLeod? Why did you come? Because Sean Burns is with you. His goodness is a part of you. Feel him. Take his strength and yours, and come with me.

Duncan: Elaine's retired. Now, when you've got time to think about it, you'll realise that's for the best. For everyone.
Dominique: I never thought you'd go over to the competition, you bitch.
Elaine: Don't worry, I didn't. You're still the biggest pimp in Paris.

Duncan: You bet Amanda when she needed money?
Hugh: You think I'm taking an unfair advantage?
Duncan: I think you're an idiot.

Simon: Shoot me if you will. I am Colonel Simon Killian. I was Colonel Simon Killian before you were born. I will be Colonel Simon Killian long after you and yours were dead. I will dance on your graves! You insignificant bastards!
Duncan: [Interrupting the tirade and addressing the tribunal] General, may I speak?
The: Your testimony is on record. What more can you add?
Duncan: I fear a grave injustice will be done if I do not speak. Please, I beg the court's indulgence. I am a simple man. But I was there when he ordered those men into battle and I can attest he was not in his right mind. He is as he was then, a victim of his own delusions. I beg you, show mercy. Spare his life.
[He turns and gives Killian a mocking look]
Simon: [Struggling against the guards] You bastard. I know what you're doing. I demand to be shot! Do you hear me? It is my right! I demand it! Do you hear me?

[Duncan beheads Kantos, then removes wax from his ears]
Duncan: Couldn't hear a word you said... Roland.

Connor: As long as I can remember knowing you, you've had all the fun and most of the good women.
Duncan: Lately.
Connor: Lately?
Duncan: That's what I said.
Connor: What are you talking about?
Duncan: Well, I seem to remember that girl in London. The red head. Healthy girl.
Connor: Come on. That was nearly one hundred and sixty years ago.
Duncan: That's what I said. Lately.

Adam: You keep letting her walk away without even taking a shot. That is very suicidal.
Duncan: You know what she was to me!
Adam: Yes, and I know what she is! A killer!

Nefertiri: So, if I understand this correctly, when the Roman Empire fell...
Duncan: In 476, give or take a few years.
Nefertiri: Ahh. Mankind went backwards.
Duncan: Into the Dark Ages. Then, came the Crusades. There were seven or eight of them between 1096 and 1270. A bunch of noblemen decided it was a good idea to rape and plunder their way to Jerusalem.
Nefertiri: And you were one of them?
Duncan: Before my time.

Amanda: Would you think of me as a nurturing person?
Duncan: Definitely. Is that it?
Amanda: No. I want you to be honest, okay?
Duncan: How honest?
Amanda: Honest! I mean, tell me the truth. Don't think about hurting my feelings.
Duncan: Okay. Then, no. Nurturing is not the first thing that comes to mind when I think of you.
Amanda: Well, I don't think you know me very well.
Duncan: Amanda, you're beautiful, you're smart, you're a lot of fun. Nurturing's in there, it's just not high on the list.

Methos: [after he and MacLeod behead the other two remaining Horsemen] I killed Silas! I liked Silas!
Cassandra: [Standing over him with an axe raised] Now I'm supposed to forgive you?
Duncan: Cassandra!
Cassandra: You want him to live?
Duncan: Yes. I want him to live.
[Cassandra looks back at Methos, the axe still raised]
Duncan: Cassandra! I want him to live.

Richie: Come on, Mac, let's take this son of a bitch.
Duncan: No, Richie, one-on-one. You know the rules.
Anthony: That's right, Richie. You run along now and live a little longer, huh? I'll see you soon enough.
Richie: I doubt it.

Duncan: Did you really kill all those people?
Methos: Yes, is that what you to hear? Killing was all I knew, is *that* what you want to hear?
Duncan: It's enough
Methos: No, it is not enough. I killed, but I didn't just kill fifty, I didn't just kill a hundred. I killed 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? *Death*! Death. Death on 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 was you want to hear? Then the answer... is yes. Oh, yes.

Duncan: I've seen you cheat at cards and I've seen you cheat with women, but golf? What kind of man cheats at golf?

Duncan: He was on holy ground, Tess. He should have been safe. He should have been safe.

Duncan: He robbed that armored car!
Amanda: So? He saw it first.

[last lines]
Joe: Well... I guess I'll see you around, MacLeod.
Duncan: Does that mean you're still following me?
Joe: It's what we do. But you know, if you were to invite me for a drink, I wouldn't be following you, would I?
Duncan: I only drink with my friends.
[He gets into his car. Joe starts to walk away and MacLeod calls after him]
Duncan: Hey, Dawson. Bar opens at five.

Duncan: Rachel, we've been here two weeks and you haven't asked about me.
Rachel: I know everything I want to know. And I've learned not to question magic.
Duncan: I'm not magic.
Rachel: No? You're Duncan MacLeod of the Clan MacLeod, a legend from my childhood, a man who lived four hundred years ago... and here you are.

Duncan: You betrayed all these people because of me?
Alexei: They are nothing, but you... I'm going to teach *you* something, MacLeod. I'm going to teach you how to lose your head.

[last lines]
Joe: You know, what he said, that, uh, that some of the gods and prophets of history were just Immortals with delusions of grandeur, like Lorca?
Duncan: He was just upset.
Joe: Yeah, but is it a possibility?
Duncan: No, it's not.
Joe: Well, how can you be so sure?
Duncan: Well, I can quote a whole bunch of people, Joe, but basically it boils down to one thing.
Joe: And that is?
Duncan: Faith, Joe. Faith.

Adam: [Duncan MacLeod exits the police station after being interrogated by Interpol agent Nicolae Breslaw and sees Methos, his "attorney", waiting for him] Well, that went pretty well.
Duncan: Since when are you my attorney?
Duncan: Whatever you need. Lawyer, doctor, Indian chief... I've got paperwork to cover it all.
Duncan: Yeah of course, I forgot.
Adam: [Methos points to the taxi cab] Ah, Mac, cab.
Adam: Ok, Watcher records are a bit sketchy on our lady so I had a little chat with the desk sergeant while I was waiting.
Duncan: So you know she committed at least 15 murders in the past 10 years.
Adam: Yeah, which leaves about 40 years unaccounted for, the mind boggles.
Duncan: Aw, come on, man. Who's to know - who's to say she's not right.
[Methos laughs disbelievingly]
Duncan: Maybe the people she killed deserved to die.
Adam: Ok, this is the angle now, is it? The end justifies the means. It's not very original.
Duncan: She believes she's making the world a better place.
Adam: Mac, that's exactly what he believed. Remember? What was his name? Adolf Something-or-other?
Duncan: Adolf Something-or-other?' I don't believe you.
[Duncan MacLeod walks off]
Adam: You believe it, you just don't want to hear it.
[Methos follows him to the car]
Duncan: [Duncan MacLeod walks off and sarcastically responds to Methos's comment] Yeah

Duncan: So much for watching.
Joe: He hunts us, we hunt him.
Duncan: No more rules.

James: I'm unarmed.
Duncan: You hate us but you expect us to behave honourably. Why is that?
James: When you kill me, others will come to continue what we have begun.
Duncan: I'm not your enemy. This isn't about mortals. We have our own fight! Don't you understand?
James: We've always understood. We will never be dominated.
Duncan: No-one wants to dominate you.
James: Liar! We know about the Gathering.
Duncan: Do you sense evil in me? Talk to me! Tell me what you know!
James: It's about power! Nothing is greater than the power of Man! Nothing! You must die... all of you!

Xavier St. Cloud: Holy ground's a wonderful thing. It allows us to speak almost like friends.
Duncan: What do you want?
Xavier St. Cloud: Actually, I've come to make another confession. You see, I enjoy the company of my own kind. I find humans, um... limited.
Duncan: Oh, so in your arrogance... you kill them.
Xavier St. Cloud: No, I kill them because... What's the difference? They all die anyway.

Duncan: Did you know Mencius?
Adam: Student of Confucius, yeah.
Duncan: "I dislike death, but there are things I dislike more than death."
Adam: "Therefore, there are occasions when I will not...
Duncan: "avoid danger."
Adam: Death before dishonor.
Duncan: For some of us.

Duncan: Let's get married.
Tessa: What do you mean, married?
Duncan: I mean married, as in, married.
Tessa: You mean, as in a proposal? You mean, as in "will you marry me" married?
Duncan: Is this better?
[gets down on one knee, singing]
Duncan: Will you marry me? Will you marry me?
[Tessa pulls him to stand up]
Duncan: You still haven't answered my question.
[to passing strangers]
Duncan: Do you think she should marry me? I think she should marry me. Yeah? I think she should marry me. What do you think?
Tessa: All right, all right, all right! Yes! I'll marry you!

Duncan: [as Hideo Koto is about to committ Hari Kari] Is there nothing I can do?
Hideo: I have already asked a favor.... Perhaps there is one more thing.
Duncan: Anything!
Hideo: My family...
Duncan: They will *always* have a protector! Their children will know. And their children's children, that if the Koto's need help, they can come to Duncan MacCloed! This I *promise* you!
Hideo: I thank you.
Duncan: I will be honored to be your second.
Hideo: When it is over, the sword is yours.

Duncan: All my life, I've had to come to terms with the fact that I'm not supposed to have children. I've said it and I've believed it. Now this happens and... I feel different. Like maybe there is a chance. Maybe my only chance.
Dr. Anne Lindsey: Then what's the problem?
Duncan: That the way my life is, someone may come for me and win.
Dr. Anne Lindsey: Duncan, I might get hit by a bus tomorrow or, or, or get some kind of strange type of cancer, but I can't live my life that way. Nobody knows what's gonna happen, Duncan. Nobody. Do you want a child?
Duncan: Yes.

Duncan: You don't think I know how you feel. When I first became Immortal, I had the same fears that you have. My life changed in a way I couldn't comprehend. Through years I learned there are so many endless possibilities. I'm not telling you that whatever gift you were given you'll ever get back. Things will never be the same. That's the way it is for us. But there's future on future, lifetime on lifetime out there for you. But only if you learn how to protect yourself.

Duncan: Still shoving women around?
Gerard: [Ushering the actress he was bullying out of the room] Get out. Be back in the morning.
Duncan: Don't bother. This production's shut down.

Xavier St. Cloud: You're angry because I broke the rules. I had two very good reasons. One, I get to kill you. Two, I also get a little help ensuring that I am the last of us.
Duncan: Horton lives to kill us. He's using you.
Xavier St. Cloud: As I am using him. He lives as long as I need him.

Paul: Spartacus was a great leader, Mac. He convinced a bunch of slaves that they could defeat the Roman Empire. 90,000 of us ended up with him.
Duncan: Yeah, all of which were crucified, burned or hung.
Paul: They died free. Spartacus may be gone, Mac, but I still hear his voice. And I carry his fight.
Duncan: Be careful when you hear voices from the past, Paul. Time can make you a liar.

Michael: You'll have to finish this alone. I can't help!
Duncan: But you didn't know, Michael.
Michael: I do now. Barnes must die. Duncan, if you care about me, you're going to have to kill Barnes now!
Duncan: Forgive me, my friend. I have a promise to keep.
[He beheads him]

Richie: Guy's hilarious.
[Duncan's expression suggests he doesn't agree]
Richie: Oh come on, Mac, give him a break, you know? He's having a good time.
Duncan: He's trouble.
Richie: He's fun. And besides, I know he's full of it.

Kronos: You still don't understand, do you? I am the end of time!
Duncan: You're history.

Nefertiri: [after being turned down by Duncan] Women never use sex to their advantage anymore?
Duncan: [laughing] Let's say hardly ever.

Richard H. 'Richie' Ryan: Am I missing something here, Mac? If Kinman is such a badass, why don't we just testify and put him away so he can't hurt anybody?
Duncan: Richie, I don't want to put him away. I want to bury him.

Carlo: She's mine now. And always will be.
Duncan: Oh my...
Carlo: If I see you again...
Duncan: If you don't take care of Grace, you will.

Willie: You know what it's like when you look a mark in the eye and you know you've got him? You know the hook's in so deep, the only way he can go is straight into your pocket.
Duncan: Yeah and then he goes home and tries to explain to his wife why he's lost a year's pay. Or a college education for his kids, and don't tell me you only go for those people who deserve it or can afford it. You're not that careful.

Duncan: I have it! When they come for you, you run me through with your sword and you kill me.
Hideo: You have a strange sense of humour.
Duncan: I will not die.
Hideo: If I kill you, you will die.
Duncan: You cannot kill me. When you found me on the beach, I wasn't breathing. You thought I was dead.
Hideo: I made a mistake.
Duncan: No, you did not. I had been in the water for days. I am immortal. You know the difference between a dead man and a live one. On my honour, I am not lying to you.
Hideo: You are truly immortal?
Duncan: Aye.
Hideo: Are many gaijin immortal?
Duncan: No, but some of your people are.
Hideo: Amazing.
Duncan: So what's your answer?
Hideo: I say no.
Duncan: Why? You love your life, you love your children.
Hideo: You cannot save honour with a lie.

[about his friends being afraid that they would lose him]
Duncan: Never. Never again.

Duncan: Did you finish those invoices?
Richard H. 'Richie' Ryan: Not yet...
Duncan: What've you been doing?
Richard H. 'Richie' Ryan: I've been busy.
Duncan: [mockingly] You've been busy?
Richard H. 'Richie' Ryan: [returns mock] Yeah, I've been busy.
Duncan: You know what I think? I think you've got too much time on your hands, I think you need to spend a little time in jail.
Richard H. 'Richie' Ryan: Jail? Whoa whoa whoa! What for? For assault with a paper airplane? For littering in your office?

Duncan: I've just had a thought.
Methos: Ooooooo.

Adam: Hey, grab a beer, there's a cold one in the frig.
Duncan: Yeah, I know, it's my frig. Thought you were out wondering the world.
Adam: In Tibet. Yak butter plays hell with the digestion. Besides, I had all the enlightenment I can use.
Duncan: Maybe you have kept that to yourself.
Adam: Sorry I must have dozed off. What is it were talking about?
Duncan: All that crock your feeding Richie.
Adam: Right and what crock might that be exactly?
Duncan: You know, stop fighting, lay down your sword, give peace a chance. Ring a bell?
Adam: Wow, so he's here is he?
Duncan: Who's here?
Adam: The other Methos.
Duncan: What?
Adam: I never actually have met the guy, but I heard rumors. He wonders around the place, spreading his message to other Immortals.
Duncan: Using your name.
Adam: It's not like it's got a patent or anything.
Duncan: Sounds like the guy started a franchise or something. What about this line about peace and love. What's that all about?
Adam: Well it's just exactly what he says it is.
Duncan: Turning the other cheek only gets you slapped harder.
Adam: But it's got a nice ring to it. No more fighting, no more killing. Peace and harmony, don't tell me you never fantasized about that. Some young suckers always going to fall for it.
Duncan: Richie has.
Adam: Viola
Duncan: He thinks the guy is some kind of prophet.
Adam: Who's to say he isn't?
Duncan: You are... this guy's a fraud.
Adam: Look, there are enough people out there who want my head for who I am now I say if he wants to play Methos, let him.
Duncan: Even if it gets him killed?
Adam: Yeah... imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. Look at these boots, put them to craftsmanship. I only put a 1,000 miles on it.
Duncan: You're going to convince Richie that this guy's a fake.
Adam: What makes you think he'll believe me?
Duncan: Because... you are going to be sincere.
Adam: I left Katmandu for this.

Richard H. 'Richie' Ryan: Mac, are you looking for a way to stop her, or a reason not to?
Duncan: Either one works for me.

Duncan: Cut the crap, Mike's dead because of him.
Adam: No, Mike is dead because of Mike.
Duncan: The kid idolized him... maybe he didn't pull the trigger, but he sure as hell put the gun in his hand. To live like me, you have to be like me, come on Methos, Mike couldn't do that, he wasn't Immortal.
Adam: And that is not Byron's fault.

Duncan: What are you doing here?
Richard H. 'Richie' Ryan: Amanda found out where you were.
Duncan: What do you mean "she found out?"
Richard H. 'Richie' Ryan: I didn't mean to tell her, Mac, but she started talking and doing things to me ... well, I didn't stand a chance.
Duncan: You wouldn't be the first.

Duncan: [they find Tessa's killer] What do you want me to do, Richie? Do you want me to cut out his heart?
Richie: Yes I do Mac. You've got to go after him.
Duncan: Do I?
Richie: You gotta do it for Tessa.

[Last lines of the series]
Duncan: You know, I don't know who or what you are Methos, and I know you don't want to hear this, but you did teach me something. You taught me that Life's about change, about learning to accept who you are, good or bad. And I thank you for that.
[pause]
Joe: I can't imagine my life without you Mac. Fact is, I don't want to.
[to Amanda]
Duncan: I love you. I do.
Amanda: Really?
Duncan: Yeah. You make my heart glad. You always have.

[last lines]
Duncan: 1500 years ago, you led an army of barbarians to the gates of Paris. You disbanded your army and spared the city. But you broke a promise to yourself. To march west from the Ural Mountains until you reached the sea. So now, old friend, travel on. Go where you never went. To the sea.
[He scatters Darius' ashes into the Seine]
Duncan: I'll miss you.

Duncan: How did you find me?
Amanda: I had help from a friend.
Joe: Hello, Mac.
Duncan: I thought we agreed to stay out of each other's way.
Joe: We can always throw you back if you want.

Duncan: I'm with Charlie to the death! But I see what I see.

Richard H. 'Richie' Ryan: Anytime you want to leave.
Duncan: What's up?
Richard H. 'Richie' Ryan: [Talking about Mark Rothwood] I'm with this jerk 15 minutes. I'm ready to take him apart.
Duncan: You'll have to wait in line.

Otavio: Is that furious look really meant for me?
Duncan: Who else, Consone?
Otavio: A great Spanish name. You make it sound like you're cursing.
