Quotes 

• Richard H. 'Richie' Ryan : [Richie, Duncan MacLeod, Methos, and Joe Dawson at Joe's bar]  I mean, this is got to be some kind of joke. Joe, help me out here, I mean 5000 years of wisdom, him?

  Joe Dawson : Well... I don't know about the wisdom, but uh, 5000 that's about right.

  Duncan 'Mac : I know it's little hard to believe, but what you see is what you get, this is the real Methos.

  Richard H. 'Richie' Ryan : You guys don't understand what I am saying, it's not the name that I care about, I mean this Methos, that Methos, it's the message I believe in.

  Duncan 'Mac : Richie, the message is wrong and it's going to get you killed. You just met this guy. What he's saying goes totally against everything we know. Why would you want to believe him?

  Richard H. 'Richie' Ryan : Because he offered me his life... now why would he do that?

  Duncan 'Mac : Because he's afraid to fight you.

  Adam Pierson : Or because he knew you wouldn't take it.

  Richard H. 'Richie' Ryan : Oh yeah, right.

  Adam Pierson : [Methos being sarcastic]  There's one born every minute.

  Richard H. 'Richie' Ryan : Okay, fine, whatever. I mean I am talking about peace here fellas. I am talking about a chance to end the killing forever... and you know something, of all people, I thought you would understand.

  Joe Dawson : [Richie walks away disappointed]  He's young all right, young people, they make mistakes.

  Adam Pierson : [Methos responds humorously to Joe Dawson's comment]  Yeah, look at Disco.

  Duncan 'Mac : I got to get going, got someone to find.

  Joe Dawson : I going to go on check on this... this other Methos guy. Maybe I'll turn something up.

  Adam Pierson : Maybe I'll go buy some socks.

• Richard H. 'Richie' Ryan : Old Timer. Do you have any words of wisdom?

  Adam Pierson : Nope.

• Richard H. 'Richie' Ryan : You know, I don't even know what his real name was. I mean, I know he wasn't the real Methos. Maybe he wasn't right either but... he *was* a good man.
