Comes a Horseman (1997)

Peter Wingfield: Adam Pierson, Methos

Quotes 

• Duncan MacLeod : 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 MacLeod : 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.

• [referring to his career as a Horseman of the Apocalypse] 

  Methos : 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. I was Death. Death on a horse.

• Caspian : I killed more people.

  Silas : Women and children don't count!

  Caspian : I'll kill you just as well.

  Methos : Lay it down, Caspian!

  Caspian : Why should I?

  Methos : [holds a sword to his throat]  Because if you do not, I will kill you! Trust me, if I have to lose one, it WILL be you.

• Methos : [feels a quickening]  Mac, is that you?

  [a knife stabs him in the chest] 

  Kronos : [appearing]  Greetings, Brother.

  Methos : Kronos!

  [gasps in pain] 

  Kronos : I missed you too.

• Kronos : Been a long time. How do you feel?

  Methos : [after being stabbed in the chest]  Like I left my heart in San Fransisco.

  Kronos : I didn't know you had a heart. Does it hurt?

  Methos : What do you think?

  Kronos : Since you asked? I think you're not used to pain, Brother. What's happened, you gone soft?

• Cassandra : Hijad... my people, take me to my people.

  Methos : You want to see them?

  Cassandra : Yes.

  Methos : [points to a bunch of skulls]  There they are.

  Cassandra : You killed them? All of them?

  Methos : Including you!

  Cassandra : [looks where she was stabbed]  The wound... it's gone! I should be dead.

• Methos : [deleted scene, about the skulls of their victims]  Caspian keeps the heads, he thinks it makes him smarter... so far it hasn't worked.

• Kronos : For a long time, I thought you were dead, I didn't bother looking for you. But then I heard rumors, 'Methos the world's oldest man', you slipped up there, old friend, you got sloppy.

  Methos : Well we're none of us perfect.

  Kronos : I shouldn't be surprised you're still alive, you were always the one I counted on. You weren't the strongest or the toughest, but you were the survivor. It's what you did best... or did.

  Methos : So you've come to kill me.

  Kronos : It's what I do best! But you do have a choice.

  Methos : Well I'm always one for choices.

  Kronos : Well, you can either lose your head, or join me.

  Methos : Since you put it that way, welcome back, Brother.
