Merlin quotes from Stargate SG-1

Merlin

Greetings, friend. I am Merlin. The prize you seek, like the pendulum's swing, marks the passage of all that is before you.

Merlin

Welcome, ye knights of the round table, men of honor, followers of the path of righteousness. Only those with wealth of knowledge and truth of spirit shall be given access to the underworld, the storehouse of riches of Ambrosius Aurelianus. Prove ye worthy, and all shall be revealed.

Dr. Jackson

That's incredible. Certain scholars have speculated that Ambrosius and Arthur were one and the same, but that would have made him 74 years old at the Battle of Mount Badon. It's actually quite fascinating. See, Ambrosius was the son of the Emperor Constantine—

Vala

[dismissive] Yes, yes, yes. "Fascinating" is the one thing it's not. How do we "prove ye worthy" and get "all to be revealed"?

Dr. Jackson

I have no idea, but something tells me truth of spirit may be a bit of a problem for you.

Vala

[defensively] You know nothing about me!

Dr. Jackson

Because everything that comes out of your mouth is a lie.

Lt. Colonel Mitchell

Don't make me separate you two.

Merlin

Where am I?

Lt. Col. Carter

Good question.

Merlin

[to Carter] You look familiar. [pauses as he scrutinizes Carter] Guinivere! [hugging Carter] Oh my dear, it's been too long.

Lt. Col. Carter

Uh, good to see you too.

Merlin

[to Mitchell] Percival! [to Jackson] And Galahad! Oh brave knights, fortune indeed does smile upon me to see your faces again.

Ba’al

Looks like Merlin's drawbridge no longer goes all the way across the moat, if you catch my meaning.

Merlin

What's that? Mordred? I might have known it.

Ba’al

We're wasting our time with this old fool! We need to get back to the gate so I can start reprogramming—

Merlin

Be silent!

Lt. Col. Mitchell

Well how do you like that? The old boy still has some old tricks up his sleeve.

Merlin

You have an extraordinary understanding of the ways of ascended beings.

Dr. Jackson

That's because I used to be one.

Merlin

The Human race cannot have evolved that far in only a thousand years.

Dr. Jackson

That's because I had some help. Her name was Oma Desala.

Merlin

[understanding] Oh, of course.
