Arthur and Merlin in “Lancelot”

Grumant's the third to fail this month. How am I supposed to defend Camelot with rubbish like that?

Well, I think I might be able to help.

You? You haven't the faintest idea what it takes to be a knight. Courage. Fortitude. Discipline.

No. No, of course I don't. But I do know someone who does.

Yeah?

He saved my life.

That's blown it for starters.

No, no. He's really good. Honestly.

That's great, Merlin. I'm sure he's terrific but you forget the First Code of Camelot.

The what?

The First Code. Only those of noble blood can serve as knights. So, unless your friend is a nobleman...

Oh, he is a nobleman.

Is he?

Absolutely.

Very well, bring him to the training ground tomorrow and make sure he brings his seal of nobility.
