Gwaine quotes from Merlin

Gwaine

[To the king] Nobility is defined by what you do, and not by who you are, and these men ... are anything but.

Sir Gwaine

We are literally chasing shadows.

Arthur

Take your hands, off her.

I'm gonna make you pay for that.

Merlin

[at table, laughs] I'd like to see you try.

Arthur

[through clenched teeth] You had to open your big mouth, didn't you, Merlin?

Gwaine

[walks up to thug] You two have got yourselves in a bit of a pickle, haven't you?

Arthur

You should get out of here while you have the chance.

Gwaine

You're probably right. [takes drink, offers tankard to thug, smiles, punches thug in the face] [bar fight ensues]

Gwaine

Pass the jug. [Merlin grabs jug, Gwaine takes drink, turns, and punches a thug]

Gwaine

What do they call you then?

Merlin

Merlin.

Gwaine

[Shake hands] Gwaine, pleasure to meet you. [Merlin begins to yell "Watch out!" Gwaine turns and smashes the jug in the face of opponent, turns to Merlin]

Gwaine

Such a waste, huh?

Merlin

What was that?

Gwaine

A pheasant.

Merlin

A pheasant?

Gwaine

A very big one.

Arthur

Now, I'm sure if we can just reach in here... [insects crawl out], we'll be able to find something to release the door.

Gwaine

Go on, then. Don't be such a princess. This is your quest, after all.

Gwaine

Back in the arena, I had you bang to rights, did I not?

Arthur

That... was just a game.

Gwaine

Oh, a game? Right. I won that game, did I not?

Arthur

No, you didn't. One more minute...

Merlin

One more minute and you both would have been dead! Neither of you won. Your plan was a half-baked disaster and if it was not for that fire, we would all be pushing up daisies.

Arthur

Actually, we were on a quest.

Merlin

We're looking for the Cup of Life. [Arthur slaps him on the head] What?!

Arthur

What part of the word "secret" did you not understand?

Merlin

It's... Gwaine.

Gwaine

Gentlemen, gentlemen. It seems - whatever it is that you're after - you could use a little help.

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.

Elyan

Gwaine? Are you alive?

Gwaine

[From inside the tunnel] What do you think? [The knights smile, relieved and Gwaine steps out of the tunnel] And that's Sir Gwaine to you.

Sir Gwaine

Do you hear that?

Sir Leon

Bees?

Sir Gwaine

Food!

Sir Gwaine

Remind me again why we're wearing this disgusting paste?

Arthur

Wilddeoren are completely blind. They rely totally on their sense of smell. Gaia berries will mask our scent.

Sir Gwaine

What are the chances of us not seeing a wilddeoren?

Arthur

None.

Sir Elyan

[Gagging] Has something died?

Sir Gwaine

Why am I always the butt?

Sir Leon

Can't think.

Sir Gwaine

Pick on Percival.

Why me?

Sir Elyan

He washes.

Sir Leon

[Gesturing to where Sir Gwaine's sock has caught fire] And he doesn't set fire to his socks.

Sir Gwaine

[Grabbing the sock and trying to extinguish the flame] Ah, no!

Arthur

Lancelot? How's Merlin?

Sir Lancelot

Bad news... [Sighs deeply] He's still alive.

Sir Gwaine

Merlin!

Arthur

[Puts his hand on Merlin's shoulder] Good to see you, Merlin.

Merlin

Yeah, good to see you too.
