Freya quotes from Merlin

Freya

You can't always trust people.

Merlin

I know. That’s why I left home.

Freya

Where is home?

Merlin

Ealdor – it’s a small village – few fields, couple of cows, nothing special.

Freya

My home was next to a lake surrounded by the tallest mountains. In the winter the storms whipped up the water into waves – we thought they were going to crash down and take away all the houses, but in the summer, wild flowers and light, it was like heaven.

Merlin

Sounds perfect.

Freya

It was.

Merlin

Was?

Freya

My family died.

Merlin

You’ve been on your own ever since? [she nods] You're not on your own anymore. I'm going to look after you. I promise.

Freya

You can't look after me. No one can.

Merlin

I don’t think you understand. [takes her hand in his] I've never known anyone like you.

Merlin

You really don't realize how special you are, do you?

Freya

You aren't scared of me?

Merlin

Being different is nothing to be scared of. [They kiss, a single tear running down Merlin's cheek]

Merlin

We're going to get you out of here, out of Camelot.

Freya

How?

Merlin

Get you some clothes, disguise you. What's wrong?

Freya

It's just, I'm going to miss you.

Merlin

No, you won't because I'm going to come with you.

Freya

What?

Merlin

I told you, I'm going to look after you.

Freya

You can't, don’t say that.

Merlin

It's not what you want?

Freya

Merlin, you have a good life here. My life is... I have to keep moving, always looking over my shoulder, people chasing me.

Merlin

Then we'll go somewhere where nobody knows us, somewhere far away. [pause] You haven’t given me your answer.

Freya

I want that more than anything. [both smile] Where will we go?

Merlin

Somewhere with mountains.

Freya

A few fields.

Merlin

Wild flowers.

Freya

A couple of cows.

Merlin

And a lake.

Freya

And a lake.

Merlin

I am so sorry for what that sorcerer did to you.

Freya

Merlin, you have nothing to be sorry for.

Merlin

There must be something I can do, someway to save you.

Freya

You’ve already saved me, you made me feel loved.

Merlin

I don’t want you to go.

Freya

One day, Merlin, I will repay you. I promise. [her eyes close]

Merlin

Freya. [he hugs her body to him]

Merlin

I'm Merlin, by the way.

Freya

I'm Freya.

Freya

Why are you so good to me?

Merlin

Because I can't help it, cause I- (smiles bashfully) I like you.

Merlin

[Looking at Freya's image in the waters of Avalon.] No.... Freya?

Freya

I missed you.

Merlin

No-

Freya

Merlin, we don't have long.

Merlin

Is it really you?

Freya

[Nods slightly and smiles] I swore that one day I would repay you. Now is the moment.
