Gwen quotes from Merlin

Gwen

I've packed some armour for you.

Merlin

I won't be able to carry all that.

Morgana

You won't have to. We're coming with you.

Merlin

What do you mean?

Gwen

You're going to need all the help you can get. I can mend armour and sharpen swords.

Morgana

And I know how to fight.

Merlin

But you... you can't. I mean, why would you?

Gwen

If it was the other way round, you'd help us. You already have. You saved my life.

Morgana

And you helped me get the druid boy out of Camelot. We owe it to you. Both of us.

Gwen

(about Arthur) "Why do you think he came here?"

Morgana

"The same reason we did: Merlin. Arthur may act like he doesn't care, but he wouldn't be here if he didn't."

Hunith

Prince Arthur, you didn't finish your breakfast.

Arthur

Didn't I?

Morgana

Come on, eat up.

Arthur

Mmmmm.

Arthur

Right. Let's get going. We need wood, and lots of it.

Merlin

Of course.

Gwen

Arthur said it was lovely.

Gwen

Sire...

Arthur

Guinevere, I... want you to know that your job is safe and that your home is yours for life. I guarantee you that. I know that under the circumstances, it's not much but, erm... anything you want, anything you need, all you have to do is ask. I am sorry.

Gwen

Thank you, Sire.

Morgana

You look troubled, Gwen.

Gwen

Oh, I’m fine.

Morgana

You’re very secretive these days; I’m beginning to think there’s a man involved.

Gwen

When do I get to meet any decent men?

Gwen

Arthur! Arthur! Arthur, you’ve got to stop this!

Arthur

I can’t Gwen, you know I can’t.

Gwen

Merlin has proof that Gaius is innocent.

Arthur

My father’s already passed sentence, there’s nothing I can do.

Gwen

You can do the right thing, Arthur Pendragon! You can show some faith in a loyal friend or you can stand by and watch an innocent man die!

Arthur

Guinevere –

Gwen

You did it once before to my father; are you really willing to let it happen again? And you can stop looking at me like that, I know I’m only a servant – I thought you were a prince, so start behaving like one!

Gwen

You shouldn't have risked your life.

Arthur

I wasn't going to let anything happen to you.

Gwen

You should have more faith in yourself.

Arthur

What are the people saying?

Gwen

They are glad you have taken charge.

Arthur

I've committed them to a siege. There are going to be casualties, Gwen.

Gwen

I trust you Arthur, more than Uther, more than any man. Worry is not a wise council. Forget everything else. You have to do what you believe is right.

Merlin

Arthur's a donkey.

Gwen

He has the ears of a donkey. And the voice. H-he's braying.

Merlin

[nods] He's braying, yeah. [Clears his throat then laughs]

Gwen

[laughs a bit] It's not funny, Merlin.

Merlin

No. No no, Arthur is a donkey, what's funny about that? [laughs more]

Gwen

He looked so pitiful! I've never seen Arthur look like that.

Arthur

I thought I told you to ride for Camelot?

Gwen

You may be a prince, but I don't always have to do what you tell me to.

Gwen

Is it true that they attack at dawn?

Morgana

I'm afraid so.

Gwen

And there is no word from Arthur?

Morgana

Nothing.

Gwen

Then all is lost. We'll be massacred, every last one of us!

Morgana

Not everyone has to die.

Gwen

What do you mean, not everyone?

Morgana

Those that defy them, those that choose to fight- they will surely die. Those who do not resist, those that choose to welcome change, they will have a future here. Everyone has a choice, Gwen.

Gwen

You know I have always been loyal to you, Morgana, and I always will be.

Morgana

Then have no fear. No harm will come to you- I can promise you that.

Arthur

Here. Come and join me. [Everyone stops what they are doing and sits down around the Round Table.] This table belonged to the Ancient Kings of Camelot. The Round Table afforded no one man more importance than the other. They believed in equality above all things, so it seems fitting that we revive this tradition now. Without each of you, we would not be here. My father has languished in prison too long. Tomorrow, I make my bit to rescue him. Are there any around this round table who will join me?"

Lancelot

[Lancelot rises] You taught me the values of being a Knight, the code by which a man should live his life, to fight with honour, for justice, freedom, and all that's good. I believe in the world you will build.

Elyan

Even though I was a commoner and a nobody, you were willing to lay down your life for me, Arthur. It is now my time to repay you.

Sir Leon

have fought alongside you many times. There is no other person I would rather die for.

Gwaine

I think we've no chance- but I wouldn't miss it for the world.

Your enemies are my enemies.

Gaius

If you need an old man...

Gwen

You know the answer.

Arthur

Merlin?

Merlin

No, I don't really fancy it.

Arthur

You don't have a choice, Merlin.

Merlin

[Stands up, smiles at Arthur, and nods.]

Arthur

I want to thank you all for staying with me in Camelot's hour of need. I'll do something my father wouldn't approve of. [He knights Lancelot, Gwaine, Percival, and Elyan.]

Arthur

Tomorrow when you fight, you can stand proud, knowing you are members of the most noble army the world has ever known.

Gaius

It's been a year since Morgana betrayed him. His heart is broken and his spirit is gone. Are you joining us for the feast tonight?

Gwen

I don't think so. I need to stay with the King.

Gaius

You're very good to him, Gwen.

Gwen

I don't do it for him. I do it for Arthur.

Gwen

Will you grant me a favour?

Lancelot

Anything.

Gwen

Look after him. Bring him home.

Lancelot

I will protect him with my life. You have my promise.

Gwen

Thank you.
