Highlander

Confronting Loneliness in a Longtime Relationship

Rachel Would you listen to me for one moment please? You can't hide your feelings from me. I've known you too long.

Connor What feelings?

Rachel How about loneliness?

Connor I'm not lonely. I've got everything I need right here.

Rachel No, you don't. You refuse to let anyone love you.

Connor Love is for poets. You're such a romantic, Rachel. You always were.

Highlander

A Birthday Exchange Among Rivals

Connor For you, my bonny Heather. Happy Birthday. And you Juan Ramírez, take care of her, you overdressed haggis.

[lighting votive candle in a church; sits in a pew]

Kurgan Kastagir is gone. Only you and I remain.

[approaching from behind]

Connor Nice to see you, Kurgan. Who cut your hair?

Kurgan I am in disguise. This way no one will recognize me.

Connor I do. What do you want?

Kurgan Your head… and the Prize. Watch. Happy Halloween, ladies! Nuns. No sense of humor.

[leers profanely at passing nuns]

Connor Ramírez's blade did not cut deeply enough. He was right about you. You're slime.

[noting the Kurgan's scar]

Kurgan Ramírez was an effete snob! He died on his knees. I took his head and raped his woman before his blood was even cold! I see. Ramírez 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. Holy ground, Highlander! Remember what Ramírez taught you.

[laughs; Connor stares at him; Connor grabs his collar]

Connor You can't stay in here forever!

Kurgan You are weak, Highlander. You will always be weaker than I.

Connor I'll be out front.

[grabbing the Kurgan's throat]

Kurgan Goodbye, MacLeod. We will meet soon enough.

[laughs]

Father Rainey This is a house of God. People are trying to pray. You're disturbing them.

Kurgan He cares about these helpless mortals?

Rainey Of course He does. He died for our sins.

Kurgan That shall be His undoing. Father, forgive me! I am a worm. I have something to say! It's better to burn out than to fade away!

[stands; licks Rainey's hand and walks out]

Crossroads of Identity and Location

Lt. Moran You ever see this guy before, Nash? Name's Vasilek. Polish national. Had his head chopped off in New Jersey two nights ago. You ever get over to New Jersey, Nash?

[presenting a photo; Connor shakes his head]

Connor / "Russell Nash Not if I can help it.

Garfield You talk funny, Nash. Where you from?

Connor Lots of different places.

Moran You're an antique dealer, right?

Connor Yes.

Moran Okay. What's that?

[places sword on the table]

Connor A sword?

Garfield Wise up, smart-ass!

Moran It's a Toledo Salamanca broadsword, worth about a million bucks.

Connor So?

Moran So you wanna hear a theory?

Connor Mmm-hmm.

Moran You went down to that garage to buy this sword from that guy. What's his name?

Connor I don't know. You tell me.

Moran Okay. His name is Iman Fasil, and you fought about the price and cut off his head.

Connor Wanna hear another theory? This Fasil was so upset about the lousy wrestling tonight, he went down to the garage and in a fit of depression, cut off his own head.

[Det. Bedsoe laughs]

Moran That's not funny, Walt.

Garfield You a faggot, Nash?

Connor Why, Garfield? You cruising for a piece of ass?

Garfield I'll tell you what happened, Russell. You went down to the garage for a blowjob. Just didn't wanna pay for it.

Connor You are sick!

[Garfield punches him and they fight]

Moran Hey, hey! hey! Stop that!

Det. Bedsoe What you doing? What are you, crazy?

Moran Break it up! That's enough! Cut it out!

Connor Am I under arrest?

Moran Not yet.

Connor Then we're through.

[leaves]

Moran Nash, we're just getting started!
