[Merlin and Arthur are discussing how to hide an unconscious Uther.]
Why don't we disguise him?
That might just work..
We can dress him as a woman.
That, on the other hand...
We can dress him as a servant.
THAT'S better.

If I need a servant in the next life...
Don't ask me.
(Merlin goes to see The Great Dragon, who is pretending to sleep)
Hello! Oh, no. Not you too. Come on. I know you're listening.
I don't need to listen to you, Merlin. You always say the same thing; 'Help me'. However you fail to help others. You failed to heed my words before. Camelot's fall is nigh, and there is nothing you can do about it.
I swear on my mother's life, that I will free you. (hesitant)
Careful what you say, Merlin! You care for your mother more than your own life. I believe this is a promise you'll keep. You will need more than words to break this magic. It takes powerful magic to create this disease, but to maintain it, you need a vessel. You must eradicate the source of the disease. Only then will the spell be broken.
(Merlin knows the vessel is Morgana and leaves)
(Merlin is in turmoil after poisoning Morgana)
You did the right thing.
How can you say that? She was your friend too.
Yes. However, I fear that unlike you, she has decided not to use her gifts for good.
(to Merlin) You're a good friend.
(Morgana falls and a soldier closes in on her, preparing to strike her down with its sword) Merlin!
(looks back at the sound of her voice, but after a long moment he continues on without her, leaving her to die)
(looking at his retreating figure desperately) Please!
Here, have some water. (holds his waterskin out to Morgana)
