Highlander (1986) - Memorable quotes
Why does the sun come up? Or are the stars just pin holes in the curtain of night, who knows? What I do know is that because you were born ...
and this is the rest..............
Ramirez: [narrating] From the dawn of time we came; moving silently down through the centuries, living many secret lives, struggling to reach the time of the Gathering; when the few who remain will battle to the last. No one has ever known we were among you... until now.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Connor MacLeod: You're a liar!
Ramirez: You have the manners of a goat. And you smell like a dung-heap! And you have no knowledge whatsoever of your potential! Now.
[shouts]
Ramirez: Get out!
[rocks the boat, sending MacLeod into the lake]
Connor MacLeod: [as Ramirez rows away] Help me, I'm drowning!
Ramirez: You can't drown, you fool, you're immortal!
[continues rowing]
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ramirez: The sensation you are feeling is the quickening.
Connor MacLeod: Who are you?
Ramirez: We are the same, MacLeod. We are *brothers*!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[after some passionate sex]
Heather: You can do that to me forever if you like, my Lord.
Connor MacLeod: Aye! I will.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ramirez: [after MacLeod misses him with his sword] Crude and slow clansman, your attack was no better then that of a clumsy child.
Connor MacLeod: This cannot be, it's the devil's work.
Ramirez: You cannot die, MacLeod, accept it.
Connor MacLeod: [laughs before realising Ramirez was serious] I hate you.
Ramirez: Good. That is a perfect place to start.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Connor MacLeod: Tell me how'd it happen for God's sake.
Ramirez: Why does the sun come up? Or are the stars just pin holes in the curtain of night, who knows? What I do know is that because you were born different, men will fear you... try to drive you away like the people of your village.
[MacLeod turns his back]
Ramirez: You must learn to conceal your special gift and harness it until the time of the gathering.
Connor MacLeod: What gathering?
Ramirez: When only a few of us are left, we will feel an irresistible pull towards a far away land... to fight for the prize.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Garfield: Are you a ******, Nash?
Connor MacLeod: Why, Garfield? Cruisin' for a piece of ***?
Garfield: I'll tell you what happened, Russell. You went down to that garage for a ********. But you didn't want to pay for it.
Connor MacLeod: You're sick.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Connor MacLeod: I am Connor MacLeod of the Clan MacLeod. I was born in 1518 in the village of Glenfinnan on the shores of Loch Shiel. And I am immortal.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[Just before the MacLeod clan goes to war]
Kate: Angus, you'll keep him in one piece, ya hear?
Dugal MacLeod: And we all know what piece that is!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ramirez: Why does the sun come up, or are the stars just pinholes in the curtain of night?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ramirez: If your head comes away from your neck, it's over!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Kurgan: [to Ramirez] Tonight you sleep in hell.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Connor MacLeod: I've been alive for four and a half centuries, and I cannot die.
Brenda: Well, everyone has got their problems
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Kurgan: At last. The Gathering...
[Mini-blades pop open from Kurgan's sword before a knock is heard by his door]
Candy: Hi. I'm Candy.
Kurgan: Of course you are...
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Kurgan: So now it ends...
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[repeated line by Ramirez, The Kurgan and Connor MacLeod]
Connor MacLeod: There can be only one!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[Looking at the body lying next to its head]
Garfield: What do you think the cause of death was, Lieutenant?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Connor MacLeod: You only have one life! If you value it, go home!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Garfield: You talk funny Nash. Where you from?
Nash: Lots of different places.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ramirez: The Kurgan. He is the strongest of all the immortals. He's the *perfect* warrior. If he wins the Prize, mortal man would suffer an eternity of darkness.
Connor MacLeod: How do you fight such a savage?
Ramirez: With heart, faith and steal. In the end there can be only one.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sunda Kastagir: Macleod, it's good to see you again. It seems like a hundred years.
Connor MacLeod: It's been a hundred years.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ramirez: You cannot die, MacLeod. Accept it.
Connor MacLeod: I hate you!
Ramirez: Good. That is a perfect way to start.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Angus MacLeod: He's a Highlander, by God, and the last sound he hears should not be that of a wailing woman!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[Connor is being chased out of the village]
Angus MacLeod: Can you walk, Connor?
Connor MacLeod: I'll bloody well walk out of here!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Brenda: I was hoping you could give me some advice.
Connor MacLeod: Are you the kind of woman who takes advice?
Brenda: Sometimes.
Connor MacLeod: Advice about what?
Brenda: What can you tell me about a seven foot lunatic hacking away with a broadsword at one o'clock in the morning, New York City, 1985?
Connor MacLeod: ...Not much.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Connor MacLeod: What are you looking at, Rachel?
Rachel: The eyes in the back of your head. People are asking about you. What am I supposed to tell them?
Connor MacLeod: Simple. Tell them I'm immortal.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Rachel: Will you listen to me for one moment? You can't hide your feelings from me! I've known you too long.
Connor MacLeod: What feelings?
Rachel: How about loneliness?
Connor MacLeod: I'm not lonely. I've got everything I need right here.
Rachel: Oh no you don't. You refuse to let anyone love you.
Connor MacLeod: Love is for poets.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[Saying his farewell to Rachel]
Connor MacLeod: Hey, it's a kind of magic!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Kurgan: Who is the woman?
Ramirez: She's MINE!
Kurgan: Ah! Not for much longer...
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Kurgan: You can't defeat me, Ramirez! I am the strongest!
Ramirez: My cut has improved your voice!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[after Connor has called Ramirez a "haggis"]
Ramirez: Haggis? What is haggis?
Connor MacLeod: Sheep's stomach, stuffed with meat and barley.
Ramirez: And what do you do with it?
Connor MacLeod: You eat it.
Ramirez: How revolting!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Priest: This is a house of God. People are trying to pray. You're disturbing them.
Kurgan: He cares about these helpless mortals?
Priest: Of course He cares. He died for our sins.
Kurgan: That shall be His undoing.
[gets up]
Kurgan: Father! Forgive me , I am a worm...
[starts laughing diabolically]
Kurgan: [to everyone in the church] I have something to say! It's better burn out, than to fade away!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[to a german soldier during WWII]
Connor MacLeod: Whatever you say, Jack. You are the master race.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Connor MacLeod: Nice to see you Kurgan. Who cuts your hair?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Connor MacLeod: I don't like boats. I don't like water. I'm a man not a fish.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Juan Sanchez Villa-Lobos Ramirez: You must leave her, brother. I was born 2,437 years ago. In that time I've had three wives. The last was Shakiko, a Japanese Princess... When Shakiko died I was shattered. I would save you that pain. Please, let Heather go.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Kurgan: [to a pair of nuns passing by him] Happy Hallowe'en, ladies!
Kurgan: Nuns. No sense of humor.
Connor MacLeod: Ramirez's blade did not cut deeply enough. He was right about you. You're slime.
Kurgan: Ramirez was an effete snob! He died on his knees. I took his head and raped his woman before his blood was even cold.
[MacLeod looks at him in fury]
Kurgan: Ah, I see. Ramirez lied. She was not his woman. She was *your* woman. And she never told you. I wonder why. Perhaps I gave her something you never could, and secretly she yearned for my return.
Kurgan: [MacLeod attempts to throttle Kurgan in a church] Holy *ground*, Highlander! Remember what Ramirez taught you.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[repeated line]
Kurgan: Hello, pretty...
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Motel Clerk: Hey, Rockefeller. I hear you liked Candy. She said you were kinda kinky.
Kurgan: Don't ever speak to me.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[after Kurgan rips the top of a car off and throws the driver out]
[looking over at the old woman in the passenger seat with insincere affection]
Kurgan: [smiling] Mom...
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Connor MacLeod: Sweet Rachel, you always knew this would happen: Russel Nash dies tonight.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Connor MacLeod: I have the power! Aye, the quickening that empowers me! I feel everything! I know... I know everything! I am everything!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
News Reporter: The garage is watered from the sprinklers. It also left a man's decapitated body lying on the floor next to his own severed head. The head, which of this time, has no name.
Kurgan: I know his name.
[Inserts cassette tape into car stereo]
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[repeated line]
Kurgan: Another time, Macleod!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tony the Hotdog Vendor: [as Tony reads a newspaper headlined: Headhunter-3, Cops-Zero] Hey Moran! Have you read what it says in here?
Lieutenant Frank Moran: You kiddin' Tony? You know cops can't read.
Tony the Hotdog Vendor: [Teasingly to Moran] What does 'INCOMPETENT' mean?
Lieutenant Frank Moran: [Speaking to Detective Bedsoe] That mayor, he calls me at 2 o'clock in the morning! I mean I don't even answer the phone anymore!
Tony the Hotdog Vendor: Hey! What does 'BAFFLED' mean? Hee hee hee hee! Ha ha ha ha!
[Moran and Bledsoe give Tony an irritated look]
Tony the Hotdog Vendor: .
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dugal MacLeod: [as the McLeods prepare for battle against the Fraziers] . Are you scared Conner? Ha ha!
Connor MacLeod: No cousin Dugal. I'm not!
Angus MacLeod: Don't talk nonsense, man! I peed my kilt the first time I went into battle!
[Laughter]
Dugal MacLeod: Aye! Angus pees his kilt all the time!
[More laughter]
Dugal MacLeod: .
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Connor MacLeod: Wanna hear another theory?
Lieutenant Frank Moran: Uh-huh.
Connor MacLeod: This Fasil was so upset about the lousy wrestling tonight, that he went down to the garage and in a fit of depression cut off his *own* head!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Kurgan: I'm in disguise!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Connor MacLeod: [Drunk with a wig covering his eyes whilst in the middle of a duel] Christ, I've gone blind!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Connor MacLeod: I apologize for calling your wife a bloated warthog, and I bid you good day.
