TV show quotes
[takes a mouthful of Merlin's stew] What kind of meat is this? It has a very strange texture...
It's pork.
This isn't pork. It's far too stringy, what is it, it's... ummm... [realizes] It's rat, isn't it?
[nods] Try not to think about it.
[pauses looking revolted, then has an idea] Look at me, I'm being rude! Here I am stuffing my face with this delicious rat, when you're hungry too! Come on... [stands and gestures to Merlin] take a seat...
I hate to ask but I was... wondering if you had anything to eat..
(Merlin and Arthur, who have been eating rat stew, look at each other and smile)
I had no idea you were so keen to die for me.
Trust me, I can hardly believe it myself.
Where did you get the water to make the tea? *takes a sip*
Fortunately for the both of us you forgot to empty your bath yesterday.
*spits it back out* You're making tea from my bath water?
It's not so bad. Perhaps a little bit...soapy.
You think this is funny.
...Moderately.
I know you don't have to listen to me -
Glad we agree on something
Sire...
Guinevere, I... want you to know that your job is safe and that your home is yours for life. I guarantee you that. I know that under the circumstances, it's not much but, erm... anything you want, anything you need, all you have to do is ask. I am sorry.
Thank you, Sire.
And he'll be found guilty. Because that's what he is!
Only a madman hears the truth as treason.
Ah, Merlin.
How are you?
Good.
I'm pleased.
Yes, I owe it all to Gaius.
I need to talk to you.
You still haven't got it yet, have you? I decide when we need to talk.
Not today.
I sometimes wonder if you know who I am.
Oh, I know who you are.
Good.
You're a prat. And a royal one.
Are you ever going to change, Merlin?
No, you'd get bored. Promise me this, if you get another servant, don't get a bootlicker.
If this is you trying to leave your job...
No. I'm happy to be your servant, till the day I die.
Sometimes I think I know you, Merlin. Other times...
Well, I know you. and you're a great warrior. One day you'll be a great King.
That's very kind of you.
But you must learn to listen as well as you fight.
Any more pointers?
No. That's it. Just... don't be a prat.
We haven't done all the things we're meant to do!
That is the lament of all men.
You're not going to die, Arthur. I'm telling you. Because I know that one day, you will be King. A greater king than your father could ever be. It's what keeps me going. You are going to live to be the man I've seen inside you, Arthur. I can see a Camelot that is fair and just. I can see a king that the people will love and be proud to call their sovereign. For the love of Camelot... you have to live.
Gaius the hero.
[Arthur has fallen off his horse due to an unbuckled girth]
[returning the horse to Arthur] Would you like me to fit the girth properly, sir?
Thank you.
It's an honour to be of service to the prince.
An honour, do you hear that Merlin?
Allow me the honour [begins to brush Arthur's clothes] of brushing your clothes down.
[whispers, looking pointedly at Merlin] The honour!
[to Merlin, regarding Arthur] He does not deserve your loyalty. He treats you like a slave!
That's not true.
He cast you aside without a moment's thought!
That doesn't matter!
But it must hurt so much to be so put-upon, so over-looked, when all the while you have such power!
That's the way it has to be!
