Morgana Pendragon quotes from Merlin

Morgana

[to Arthur] And what kind of king do you think Camelot would want? One that would risk his life for a lowly servant, or one that does what his father tells him to?

Morgana

I hate to ask but I was... wondering if you had anything to eat..

Morgana

Only a madman hears the truth as treason.

Morgana

(to Merlin) You're a good friend.

Morgana

[To Uther] I promise you, that in the future I will give you the love and respect you deserve.

Morgana

This is a contest like no other- it is open to all commers, including our reigning champion the King! There are no rules- no weapons are banned. The last man standing takes the prize. Let the tournament begin!

Morgana

[to Uther] I am your daughter, after all.

Uther

Why are you not joining us at the feast?

Morgana

I just don't think chopping someone's head off is cause for a celebration. That poor mother...

Uther

It was simple justice for what he'd done.

Morgana

To whom? He practiced magic. He didn't hurt anyone.

Uther

You were not around twenty years ago. You have no idea what it was like.

Morgana

How long are you going to keep punishing people for what happened then?

Uther

Until they realise there is no room for magic in my kingdom.

Morgana

They all seem rather impressed by Knight Valiant.

Arthur

They're not the only ones.

Morgana

You're not jealous, are you?

Arthur

I don't see that there's anything to be jealous of.

Morgana

Has your father apologized yet for not believing you?

Arthur

He'll never apologize. I hope you're not disappointed Valiant's not escorting you.

Morgana

Turns out he wasn't really champion material.

Arthur

That was some tournament final.

Morgana

Tell me about it. It's not every day a girl gets to save her prince.

Arthur

I wouldn't say I needed exactly saving. I'm sure I would have thought of something.

Morgana

See, you're too proud to admit you were saved by a girl!

Arthur

Because I wasn't.

Morgana

You know what? I wish Valiant was escorting me.

Arthur

Me too. Then I wouldn't have to listen to you.

Arthur

You should stay here.

Morgana

I'm coming with you.

Arthur

No.

Morgana

Scared I'll show you up?

Arthur

Father would slam us both in chains if he knew I endangered you.

Morgana

Good thing he doesn't know about it, then.

Arthur

I'm telling you, Morgana. Turn back. You could get hurt.

Morgana

So could you, if you don't get out of my way.

Morgana

Merlin, I wanted you to know your secret's safe with me.

Merlin

My secret?

Morgana

Come on. Don't pretend. I know what you did.

Merlin

You do?

Morgana

I saw it with my own eyes.

Merlin

You did?

Morgana

I understand why you don't want anyone to know.

Merlin

Well, obviously...

Morgana

I won't tell anyone. You don't mind me talking to you about it?

Merlin

No. It's... you have no idea how hard it is to keep this hidden.

Morgana

Well, you can continue to deny it but... I think Gwen's a very lucky woman.

Morgana

Okay, let the bragging begin. How did you manage it?

Arthur

I'm not sure. All I do know is that I had help... Someone knew I was in trouble and... sent a light to guide the way.

Morgana

Who?

Arthur

I don't know. Whoever it was, I'm only here because of them.

Morgana

I'm glad you're back. [Morgana walks away]

Uther

When you failed to show up for patrol this morning, I feared you'd eloped with Sophia in a fit of passion.

Merlin

I wish he had, because then I wouldn't be stood in front of you looking like an idiot. Again.

Uther

This is becoming a near daily occurrence with you.

Merlin

But there was a mistake, and I would not say it was anyone's fault... not really... You could say it was mine.

Uther

Could somebody tell me what happened?

Merlin

Well...

Uther

Somebody with a brain.

Arthur

After Sophia left, I wanted to take my mind off her so I went for a hunt.

Morgana

So killing things mends a broken heart?

Arthur

No, but it's good fun. Merlin was meant to inform you that I wouldn't be back til later today.

Uther

Have you some kind of mental affliction?

Merlin

Probably.

Gaius

I'm looking into it, sire.

Uther

Well, I hope for our sake you find a cure or we'll find ourselves with a food shortage on our hands.

Merlin

Food shortage?

Gwen

You're sure it's her?

Morgana

I could never forget that face.

Gwen

You should speak to the king.

Morgana

And tell him what? That I can see the future?

Gwen

If you think Arthur's life is in danger...

Morgana

You know how he'd react.

Gwen

You're his ward. He wouldn't harm you!

Morgana

He hates magic more than he cares for me.

Gwen

That's not true.

Morgana

Would you care to put it to the test?
