Knight Valiant quotes from Merlin

With your swordcraft and this shield, I guarantee you'll win.

Knight Valiant

Show me how it works.

Certainly. (He says a spell and the snakes on the shield come to life) When you're competing in the tournament, you pin your opponent under the shield. The snake strikes; your opponent will be paralyzed. (He hands the shield to Valiant) The snakes are now under your command. They will do anything you tell them to do.

Knight Valiant

Anything?

Just say the word.

Knight Valiant

Kill him. (A snake strikes and kills Devlin)

Knight Valiant

Knight Valiant of the Western Isles, my lord.

Uther

I saw you fighting today. You have a very aggressive style.

Knight Valiant

As my lord said, to lose is to be disgraced.

Uther

I couldn't agree more.

Uther

You have no proof to support these allegations. Have you seen Valiant using magic?

Arthur

No. But my servant...

Uther

Your servant? You make these outrageous accusations against a knight on the word of your servant?

Arthur

I believe he's telling the truth.

Knight Valiant

My lord, am I really to be judged on some hearsay from a boy?

Merlin

I've seen those snakes come alive!

Uther

How dare you interrupt! Guards!

Knight Valiant

My lord...

Uther

Wait.

Knight Valiant

I'm sure he was merely mistaken. I wouldn't want him punished on my account.

Uther

You see? This is how a true knight behaves. With gallantry and honour.

Knight Valiant

My lord, if your son made these accusations because he's afraid to fight me, then I will graciously accept his withdrawal.

Uther

Is this true? Do you wish to withdraw from the tournament?

Arthur

No!

Uther

Then what am I to make of these allegations?

Arthur

Obviously there has been a misunderstanding. I withdraw the allegation against Knight Valiant. Please accept my apology.
