Efrem Zimbalist Jr.: King Arthur

Quotes 

• Merlin : It is true, Arthur, that a storm brings winds that can destroy a house. But it is also true that a storm brings the rain which feeds the crops. Life brings us both good and ill, and often it's difficult ot distinguish between them.

  King Arthur : Why do I get the feeling that I am being lectured, Merlin?

  Merlin : [chuckles and looks at the chessboard]  It is *your* move, Sire.

  King Arthur : [looks at the almost-empty hourglass]  The knights will be gathering and time is running short. I'm afraid the game will have to wait.

• Prince Valiant : It's time, Rowanne. Arn's going to need his sword back. And, bring your own as well.

  Rowanne : Why do I need *my* sword? Arn's the one being knighted.

  King Arthur : [cut to the ceremony]  Arn of Warringham, kneel before this sword, Excalibur. For your courage in adversity, for your devotion to justice, for your commitment to help those who cannot help themselves, I dub thee Sir Arn of Camelot, Knight of the Round Table. Arise, Sir Arn. And now, history is to be made in Camelot this day. Rowanne of Bridgeford, kneel before Excalibur. For your courage in adversity, for your devotion to justice, for your ability of making others, even your king, see the world in new ways, I... Gwen, what do I do; I can't call her "Sir" Rowanne.

  [Guinevere whispers something to him] 

  King Arthur : I dub thee Rowanne of Camelot, Knight of the Round Table.
