Quotes below the curtain
Duncan: I gotta get Amanda out. It's my fight, not hers. Where're you going?
Methos: Well, I'm, uh, kind of fond of the little vixen myself. Okay?
Duncan: Yeah.

Ghost Fitz: Try not to think of yourself as dead - more, uh, metabolically challenged.

Fitzcairn: Great Scott, MacLeod! (pause) Ummm, no pun intended.

Methos: "Don't go, MacLeod. It's a trap MacLeod. MacLeod, your pants are on fire." Doesn't matter what I say, does it? Well, I've only been alive for five thousand years; what would I know about it?
________________________
Methos: Goodbye.
Duncan: I think you mean "good luck," don't you?
Methos: Of course, uh, that's what I meant.

Joe: Now, wait a minute. You're telling me that this chronicle is wrong? That it was Marcus Aedilies who took the head of Titus Marconus and not Peter Gaicus.
Methos: Seventy-four BC. I had a tidy little sum wagered on Marconus too. Had my eyes on a little summer place outside Herculanium.
Joe: Yeah, but why would his Watcher lie?
Methos: Oh, come on, Joe. You know how it is. You don't want to admit to your Watcher buddies that your guy's been whacked by some sniveling little weasel like Aedilies so you make up a story that he's been, he's been aced by the greatest swordsman in Rome.
Joe: I don't know, man. I don't know.
Methos: Hey, you ask, I tell you. And incidentally, it wasn't outside the Forum either it was, um, it was in the vomitorium.
Joe: In the vomitorium?
Methos: The place you went to vomit.
Joe: You mean they actually did do that?
Methos: You eat a seventeen coarse meal where the main garnish is honey coated ants and peacock brains... We ate; we drank; we vomited.
Joe: But see, it doesn't say anything in this chronicle about him dying in a vomitorium.
Methos: Well, is that how you'd want to go down in history? (feels an Immortal's presence) We're having company

Kronos: I think our friend is a quick learner.
Methos: Well, I always can spot potential.
Kronos: Time I think for a little test.
Methos: Dawson, you think?
Richie: Whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa, who's Dawson?
Kronos: He's one of the bastards who killed our brothers Caspian and Silas.
Richie: Hey, whatever you want, I'm your man.
Methos: We want him dead.
________________________
Ghost Fitz: Kronos wanted to put the Four Horsemen back together, and you weren't around to stop him.
Duncan: But Methos had changed.
Ghost Fitz: No--without you he hadn't changed enough. Pity for Methos, and pity for Richie too.
Duncan: What happened to Richie?
Ghost Fitz: Oooohh, well there's another sad story...

Duncan: What happened to him, Fitz?
Fitzcairn: He did what I do all the time, laddie...and what we all do eventually--he fell in love.

Duncan: I suppose you don't believe in ghosts either.
(Methos taps the hitman on the shoulder, then knocks him out)
Duncan: You're good.
Methos: You should see me at Halloween.
Duncan: I think I have a costume for you.

Ghost Fitz: I missed out on almost three centuries of living. Now that's an awful lot of unhappy women.

Ghost Fitz: The Horsemen rode again, and they made the Russian Mafia look like the Vienna Boys Choir.

Methos: You know, this bad-guy-just-your-size routine never works, MacLeod.
Duncan: All O'Rourke has to do is buy it for thirty seconds.

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.

To Be/Not to Be, Air Date: May 1998
The popular series lays down its sword after six seasons in this stirring finale, in which MacLeod makes the ultimate sacrifice to save the lives of Amanda and Joe Dawson... then reunites with old friend Hugh Fitzcairn, and gets a look at what the world-- and his friends' lives-- would be like without him.
*******
Fitz died three hundred years ago... Horton has taken over the Watchers... Joe Dawson has been reduced to a bitter, penniless vagrant... Amanda is a black widow... and Methos has rejoined the Horsemen to avenge his fiance's death. If you think that's bad, just wait till you find out what's happened to Richie and Tessa. ~ recap and quotes via tv.com

I liked these episodes particularly Methos in love and back with Kronos! The scenes where the watchers cath up with him and his lady love were quite hard to watch due to the emotion :(
And I do have a soft spot for Fitz
Fitzcairn: Great Scott, MacLeod! (pause) Ummm, no pun intended
he gets all the best lines, apart from perhaps the whole vomitorium thing :)

Date: 2006-07-04 01:43 am (UTC)From:Agreed. She was not to bright. Believing Horton. Now thinking back to watcher episodes,was she a watcher that had been introduced before? She wasn't Horton's daughter was she - I forget her name.
"Kronos does have a sense of timing!"
Oh yeah, great entrance. Second to the fog scene in Comes a Horseman.
"That would have been a nice aspect of a Methos series -- more sex scenes! " That is good and bad - more blue boxer shots, but hey, he would be with other women. I am not good a sharing (even in fantasy).

Okay, this comment can be taken so many ways. Of course, my first take (actually first 5 takes) was anything but G rated. In fact, I can honestly say I was shocked (not a good thing at 8 am on a holiday).
Even after waiting a while to reply, I still come to the conclusion - Slash No!, Manage a Trois, Voyeurism- oh yeah!,
As Methos would say - Ith, there is hope for you!

Tell her thanks. Of course, my mind is still reeling from the comment.

Date: 2006-07-04 07:23 pm (UTC)From:You do know that the first fic I ever posted was Forever Knight erotica, right? I even had a vampire erotica piece accepted by an online magazine, but they went under before it was ever published, so I switched it to FK so I could post it as fanfic on JADFE. (the old FK adult fic email list ) I've written lots of adult fic in my time. Just most of it under another name. Didn't want the guys at work googling my name and coming across it!

Date: 2006-07-04 07:36 pm (UTC)From:Ahhh, No. Mind reeling, mouth agape.
"Actually, it was several in one story"
Major brain freeze over this. Somehow I figured you were PG in your writings.

Date: 2006-07-04 07:49 pm (UTC)From:Well thought I had some clue, but obviously I have been remiss. That comment you made awhile back about luring people in by appearing normal is starting to take on a whole new shape.
Of course, since you are generally around Nin when these things come up (no pun intended), I suppose the Marquis De Sade would appear normal. Hence the shock value.
"It's all on my archive for the world to see. "
This I have to read.
"(Johnny Depp in bathtub icon seems apropos for this thread) "
If PW is not available, I guess. Of course I did see an icon of his PW's tattoo recently somewhere - very nice! Need to get my hands on his Bliss episodes.

I think that's Pat's icon you're thinking of, the naked bum with the tattoo?
You can see Bliss when you come to visit if you haven't seen it before then. And the Elven Bride [snorfle]

Date: 2006-07-04 08:03 pm (UTC)From:Please do. Have to actually read this to believe.
"I also have an adult version of "Oaths" .
Okay. Send it along.
"the naked bum with the tattoo? "
That would be the one. Very nice!
"You can see Bliss when you come to visit if you haven't seen it before then. And the Elven Bride"
I have not seen any. I thought his episode was entitled Tying up Gerald or some such thing. Definitely a must watch during the visit.
