There was a senator and his wife and this slave boy... MACLEOD - And now you're an old bachelor. I get it. METHOS - Works for me. MACLEOD - They're my friends. How can I let them throw away a three-hundred-year relationship? They're perfect together. METHOS - That's what they said about Sonny and Cher. [beat] Love is magic, MacLeod. When it's gone, it's gone. MACLEOD - I'm telling you it's not gone. METHOS - [beat] And I'm telling you that if you get in the middle of this, whatever happens, they'll blame you. [They get the BUZZ -- Robert is ahead on the barge gangway. He waves at MacLeod. MacLeod sighs.] MACLEOD - I have to try. METHOS - In that case... exit one old bachelor, stage left.
