- Nefertiri: [looking at Duncan's car] What is it?
- Duncan Macleod: It's a kind of chariot.
- Nefertiri: Where are the horses?
- Duncan Macleod: They're under there.
- [pointing to hood]
- Duncan Macleod: They're real tiny.
- Nefertiri: So, if I understand this correctly, when the Roman Empire fell...
- Duncan Macleod: In 476, give or take a few years.
- Nefertiri: Ahh. Mankind went backwards.
- Duncan Macleod: Into the Dark Ages. Then, came the Crusades. There were seven or eight of them between 1096 and 1270. A bunch of noblemen decided it was a good idea to rape and plunder their way to Jerusalem.
- Nefertiri: And you were one of them?
- Duncan Macleod: Before my time.
- Nefertiri: How long has it been?
- Duncan Macleod: About 2,000 years.
- Nefertiri: Everything I knew is gone. My home, my world, my queen.
- Duncan Macleod: Cleopatra?
- Nefertiri: I was her handmaiden. And a friend. I was sworn to serve and protect her. I failed.
- Duncan Macleod: Well, Rome's a lot to take on. Even for us Immortals.
- Nefertiri: [after being turned down by Duncan] Women never use sex to their advantage anymore?
- Duncan Macleod: [laughing] Let's say hardly ever.
