You look troubled, Gwen.
Oh, I’m fine.
You’re very secretive these days; I’m beginning to think there’s a man involved.
When do I get to meet any decent men?
“Lancelot and Guinevere” · Season 2, Episode 4
In this episode: Arthur Pendragon (4), Merlin (3), Morgana Pendragon (2), Gwen (1), Lancelot (1)
How can you be so heartless? Gwen is the most kind, loyal person you would ever meet and she’s been more than a friend to all of us! And you would leave at the mercy of those animals!
Morgana.
Have you no shame? Do you think of no one but yourself?
Morgana –
I knew you were many things Arthur Pendragon, but I didn’t know you were a gutless coward!
Morgana! Perhaps if you would stop shouting at me for one second, you would notice that I am packing.
The ransom was supposed to be delivered to the Vale of Dinaria; if they’re holding Gwen anywhere, it has to be there. Which means we can save a day’s riding if we cut through the tunnels of Andor.
Oh, no. I know that face, I’m not going to like this am I? What’s in the tunnels?
They’re infested with Wilddeoren.
What are Wilddeoren?
They’re like giant – [gestures with hands, and then sees Merlin’s expression and brings his hands much closer together] – baby rats.
Baby rats? They don’t sound so bad –
They feast on human flesh.
Maybe we should go over the mountains…
[after Merlin realises Arthur did not know if the berries would hide them from the Wilddeoren]
I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have risked your life like that.
Well. They do say love makes you do strange things…
What are you talking about?
Why can’t you just admit your feelings for Gwen? [Arthur starts to walk away] It’s so obvious! A blind man could see it! Is it really that hard to admit you like her? Just say it!
I can’t. How can I admit that I think about her all the time? Or that I care about her more than anyone? How can I admit that I don’t know what I’ll do if any harm comes to her?
Why can’t you?
Because nothing can ever happen between us! To admit my feelings, knowing that… hurts too much.
(to Gwen) I would die for you a thousand times.
Look on the bright side: you’ve still got me!
Is that supposed to cheer me up?
Thought it might.
You really are a complete idiot, aren’t you Merlin?
