- Longinus: May I ask what you're doing?
- Queen Diana: I'm building a cage, Longinus, a trophy case. And guess who we're going to put in it.
- Longinus: What an ambitious woman you are. How do you suppose you're going to get him in there?
- Queen Diana: Well, I trapped you, didn't I? I think he'll look nice hanging in our entryway.
- Longinus: My love, your plan has poetry and beauty... and not a chance of success.
- [first lines]
- Fergus: I'm not going.
- Conor: You're acting like a child, Fergus.
- Fergus: No, I'm not. You can't make me go if I don't want to.
- Conor: Would you listen to this? Fergus, I can't help it if the village that has volunteered to build the new meeting house for the Confederation of Tribes, at great cost to them and of vital importance to the movement, is the same village where your wife lives.
- Fergus: She's not my wife.
- Conor: Right, she's-she's not your wife. She's Molly's mother and she's your... whatever you call her.
- Fergus: I don't call her anything.
- Conor: Fine. Let's go.
- Fergus: No.
- Conor: Why not!
- Fergus: I'm not going.
- Molly: He's afraid of her. Always has been.
- Fergus: I am not.
- Molly: He left her. She hates him, and when he shows his face, she's going to pound it flat. Big warrior.
- Fergus: I am not afraid.
- Molly: You're afraid.
- Dunn: [to Catlin] Anything you need, you just see me. Everyone knows, you need something, you just ask Dunn. Dunn... gets it done.
- Queen Diana: Rome is sending an emissary to check up on me.
- Longinus: What?
- Queen Diana: Word has filtered back that you've usurped my power, that Conor's alliance is gaining strength. If the emissary doesn't return with a sterling report, they'll send a thousand soldiers in his wake.
- Longinus: I'll bury them.
- Queen Diana: A legion? Do that and the entire empire will come raining down upon you. No, Longinus, you're going to have to show this man what he wants to see - me, in control
- Longinus: Who's being selfish now?
- Queen Diana: And he's going to want to see Conor destroyed.
- Longinus: You do love the game, don't you, Diana?
- Longinus: What news today?
- Dunn: Conor is in love with Fergus' daughter.
- Queen Diana: What?
- Dunn: If you want the prince, the girl will be the key. Of course, we're gonna have to get rid of her father first.
- [suspecting Dunn is trying to doublecross them, Conor and Fergus have a fight, resulting in the "death" of Fergus]
- Caitlin: Who do you think prepared the body?
- Fergus: I wondered who they were burnin'.
- Caitlin: It's rags and leaves and some old meat. Took me all night.
- Fergus: Meat?
- Caitlin: It had to smell like you.
- Fergus: Don't insult the dead.
- Longinus: [to Conor] I'm actually grateful to you. I haven't felt pleasure like this in centuries. I get such satisfaction from your pain. I think you're going to like your new home. You know, you're here courtesy of your beloved, but I have a surprise for her. She's not going to Rome. She's staying here. She's going to play with me and you get to watch.
- Queen Diana: That is not what we agreed to.
- Longinus: You should know me better than that, my love.
- Queen Diana: We had a deal! When the emissary arrives, I am the queen, you are my adviser and he is *my* prisoner.
- Longinus: Well, as your adviser, let me advise you to think of a new story, because I have captured the leader of the savages, I have control of the island and you can go to your room. Better think fast.
- [last lines]
- Molly: You're missing the fun. Agrona's made a feast. There's music. She's even dancing with Fergus.
- Conor: I'll come later.
- Molly: [discussing Longinus] He's down there for good.
- Conor: Is he?
- Molly: You can't watch the ocean forever.
- Conor: I'll always wonder.
- Molly: If you let him have a hold on you, he's won. A new world begins today. All possibilities; all hope. Anything can happen, Conor. Anything. Come.
