S1 E1Homecoming
We can't let woman come between us, can we, brother?
Everything comes easy for you. You don't even appreciate it.
[about the tower] Suits you up there. Where will you go?
You'll find I have plenty allies who will give me space. Was there anything else? Or did you just come to gloat?
The king is dead. Murdered.
So?
Uther died with no legitimate son.
So what's that gotta do with us?
Not them. You... are Uther's son.
King's will...
Signed by his own hand. Bearing his seal, attesting to your birth.
PPellinor
Your father was a great leader. Our loyalty passes to you. We stands to your bidding, ready to defend the Pendragon line.
I never knew Uther. But if he inspired such loyalty, I am humbled to stand before you. And I’ll do whatever I can to justify your allegiance.
What was he like? My father.
Unyielding.
That's it? The life of a man and you take ONE WORD?
That's all you need to know.
No, it's not! I want to know everything. What he ate, what he drank, how he stood, who he loved, what made him laugh or weep! And you give me ONE WORD!
Anyone else can tell you his character and contradictions. I gave you the word you most require. The aspect you must take from him. An unyielding strength. Because from now on, everyone will challenge you on everything.
S1 E2The Sword And The Crown
"No one's ever done it before. What makes you think I can do it?"
"Because no one's ever needed to do it, as much as you do. This is your moment. Believe in yourself."
"Stop pulling at me and start pushing yourself!"
"In the beginning was the word. And the word spread. And the people came. Now we'll crown you, in front of them."
"When I hear of kings, I think of warriors, coming to the throne through slaughter. I am not that person. But I have known loss at the hands of those men. I'm something new. Standing here before you, I realize that. I know I carry your hope in me. And I will establish, here at Camelot, a new way of ruling, for you, the people!"
S1 E3Guinevere
"Do you love him?"
"I'm not sure I even know what that word means."
"That's all right. I was the same. But, you know, with a little luck, in time, you might fall in love with him. And if you don't, before you know it,he'll give you children, and then you'll love them."
"The wounded deer jumps highest, strives the hardest."
"I'm not the one tied up here, am I?"
"You think I can't free myself?"
"Then do it."
"Oh, no, no, no, no. I don't perform tricks."
"Because you can't."
"Because I'm strong enough to choose not to."
"You're very good. Who taught you?"
"My father. What about you?"
"Teaching myself."
"That's quite a task. So why bother?"
"To be better."
