TV show quotes
[Gwaine takes off his boots and socks]
[Gagging] Has something died?
Why am I always the butt?
Can't think.
[Sir Elyan and Sir Leon get up and sit down on the other side of the fire with Arthur and Sir Percival]
Pick on Percival.
Why me?
He washes.
[Gesturing to where Sir Gwaine's sock has caught fire] And he doesn't set fire to his socks.
[Grabbing the sock and trying to extinguish the flame] Ah, no!
Lancelot? How's Merlin?
Bad news... [Sighs deeply] He's still alive.
[Merlin shows up behind him. Arthur laughs, relieved, Merlin smiles too]
Merlin!
[The knights welcome Merlin and Sir Lancelot]
[Puts his hand on Merlin's shoulder] Good to see you, Merlin.
Yeah, good to see you too.
It's going to be fine. Everything will be all right.
I'm just tired.
You don't have to sacrifice yourself.
I have to save my people.
I will take your place.
Merlin...
What is the life of a servant, compared to that of a prince?
A good servant's hard to come by.
I'm not that good.
True.
Look after Guinevere. I want her to be happy in her life. She deserves that.
Don't worry. I'll make sure.
So, Emrys, you choose to challenge me after all. Will you give yourself to the spirits to save your prince?
It is my destiny.
Perhaps. But your time among men is not yet over, Emrys, even if you want it to be.
[Lancelot walks towards the veil, looks back at Merlin and smiles. The Dorocha scream. Lancelot turns around and walks through the veil.]
No! No! No!
[Before Sir Lancelot's funeral pyre'] I want to pay tribute to Sir Lancelot. We owe him a great debt. But it is not just his deeds that we will never forget. It is his courage, his compassion, his unselfish heart. He was the most noble knight I will ever know. He gave his life for all of us.
[To Arthur, crying] He didn't sacrifice himself for Camelot. I asked him to look after you and he promised me with his life. He was true to his word.
Oh! Did you see that?
It's a man throwing sticks in the air.
What's wrong? It's your birthday! A huge feast is being held in your honor. You've got dancers, jugglers and acrobats to entertain you. ... It must be a terrible burden.
Perhaps I'm less easily impressed than you.
I'm really looking forward to it.
Because you have the mind of a child. [Arthur leaves the room]
Well, I'm still more intelligent than you.
I heard that.
You're telling me you weren't even a little bit scared?
[Arthur is starting to become affected by the sedatives in the apple]
Of course I wasn't. I'm a warrior. You learn to control your fear, to...[He partly crashes into a wall]
You looked scared.
It's good to see my father enjoying himself. He went a little quiet towards the end there. Perhaps I should go see him.
Are you sure that's a good idea? You can barely stand up.
Are you saying I'm drunk?
No, I'm just saying, you shouldn't be wandering around the palace.
And why is that?
You're not wearing any trousers.
[Arthur looks down and sees that Merlin is right]
Good point. [pulls up his pants and walks out the door]
[Uther has been mortally wounded.]
It’s my time.
No, you can’t die!
I know you will make me proud as you always have. You will be a great king.
I’m not ready.
You’ve been ready for some time, Arthur.
No, I need you!
I know I’ve not been a good father, I put my duty to Camelot first. I’m sorry.
Don’t say that...
But know this, Arthur, I have always loved you.
All I know for sure is that I’ve lost both my parents to magic. It is pure evil and I’ll never lose sight of that again.
Merlin. It's a new day. [Merlin rises.] You've been here all night?
I didn't want you to feel that you were alone.
You're a loyal friend, Merlin.
We could bring this noble creature back to life!
(Merlin has just been caught trying to steal the key from Arthur)
What on earth are you doing?
Er... checking for woodworms.
Before breakfast?
That is when the worms are most active.
Get out.
Tell me, Merlin, would you say you're a good liar?
When I need to be.
(Borden punches him in the face and knocks him out at the door to the castle vaults, while he escapes)
You're gonna need to be!
