Quotes
-
King Einon : I know why you brought me the dragonslayers. You wanted them to kill him because you wanted me dead.
Queen Aislinn : I wanted to correct a mistake made years ago, when I saved a creature not worth saving.
King Einon : How un-motherly of you.
-
Kara : It's been twelve years. Your castle is built. He can do you no more harm.
[pause]
Kara : For God's sake, release him.
[Einon draws his bow and shoots Redbeard in the chest, he falls]
Kara : Father!
King Einon : I've always said death is a release, not a punishment!
-
King Einon : Next time stab more flesh. Less cloth.
Kara : I'll pierce your heart!
King Einon : You already did.
-
King Einon : [laughing] Well, well, well. It can't be. But it is! My old mentor. Still giving carving lessons?
Bowen : Get off your horse and I'll give you one.
King Einon : Time's not been kind to you, Bowen. You should never have broke with me.
Bowen : It was *you* who broke with me.
King Einon : And yet you return to me with this girl I lost.
Bowen : [Bowen looks at Kara. Kara shakes her head and raises her dagger] I think she wants to stay lost.
King Einon : Not her decision, I'm afraid!
[Brok starts to dismount, but Einon raises a hand to stop him, then dismounts himself and draws his sword]
King Einon : I'm ready for my lesson now, knight.
-
King Einon : Ingenious, Felton; only you could keep such a good brain under such a bad hat.
-
King Einon : Some are good at hunting men, some are good at hunting money. Both have value for me.
-
King Einon : [Bowen, Kara, and Gilbert enter the castle to see Einon waiting for them] Well, well, well, what a pleasant surprise. I expected you, Bowen, but with my bride-to-be as well. And with a priest to wed us.
Bowen : To bury you.
King Einon : [stands] Well, to bury one of us.
-
King Einon : [Falls back against the wall with a stab wound to the shoulder] Next time, stab more flesh, less cloth.
Kara : [Brandishing a knife] I'll pierce your heart!
[Lunges toward Einon to stab him again]
King Einon : [Grabs her wrists and forces her onto the bed, taking the knife away] You already did! A very special heart, like no other.
Kara : A black, withered thing without pity!
King Einon : [Forces Kara to look at him] Then teach me. Pity me. I'll give you everything. Even power. You're so beautiful...
[Forcefully kisses her]
King Einon : Even power. Even a throne.
[Puts on a robe and leaves the bedchamber]
