- Old Man: It was written. All was written! But no one believed it, no one. And the world was destroyed. Destroyed!
- Ramirez: What are you talking about, you old fool? What happened here?
- Old Man: Centuries and centuries ago, the great catastrophe punished mankind and it is still punishing them. Again and again.
- Ramirez: Great catastrophe? What are you talking about?
- Old Man: Ever since the great catastrophe everything is dead.
- [Ramirez notices that the children are hiding in fear]
- Ramirez: What about the children? Why did they run away when they saw me?
- Old Man: You're a stranger. You could be one of the killers. You... you could be one of the Hunters.
- Ramirez: Tell me something... who are these Hunters?
- Old Man: Who are you? You're asking questions. Too many questions.
- [the Old Man tries to leave, but Ramirez grabs him]
- Ramirez: No, wait! You got to tell me what happened!
- Old Man: Go ahead, kill me. I'm not afraid of you, I'm not afraid to die and I'm not afraid of Kortan!
- Ramirez: Kortan? Kortan's responsible for all this?
- Quentin MacLeod: Remember, Ramirez. Please, remember. Kortan's our enemy.
- Kortan: You're wasting your breath, Highlander. But don't worry. The survivor will get to fight me.
