Quotes 

  • Egbert : Lies will not sustain a tyrant!

  • Ragnar : What would you do with him in your country?

    Egbert : We have a special reward which is rather entertaining in a noisy way.

    Ragnar : What's that?

    Egbert : It's nothing much. Just a pit full of wolves half mad with starvation and trained to appreciate the flavor of human blood.

    Ragnar : [to Einar]  Aw, you see, the English are civilized!

  • Ragnar : I want you to teach Lord Egbert our customs.

    Einar : I'll teach him.

    Egbert : Remember, I live by brains, not brawn.

  • Kitala : [to Eric]  Odin has answered you.

    Egbert : They were only flying clouds.

    Kitala : You're blind. They were Odin's daughters. I heard the singing of their battle swords as they rode across the sky. They bring the wind. They bring the wind! Listen.

  • Egbert : You're like a wounded animal, you trust no one.

  • Ragnar : Aw, a little skinny perhaps, but not bad. Not bad, at all.

    Egbert : Restrain yourself, my Lord. If she is dishonored, she'll be worthless as a Queen and Aella won't pay ransom for her.

    Morgana : I don't need traitors to plead my cause.

    Egbert : My quarrel's with Aella, Lady, not with you. We were all agreed you would be unharmed while you remain with us.

    Ragnar : Now, remember that Einar. Leave her alone.

    Einar : I haven't touched her. Yet.

    Morgana : And you never will! I'd kill myself first.

    Ragnar : Ah, she doesn't seem to like you.

    Einar : She likes me well enough.

  • Aella : [Aella is speaking of the union of Northumbria and Wales]  I trust, Lord Egbert, that you approve of this alliance

    Egbert : With all my heart, Sire.

    Aella : Then why do you spread tales of an heir to the throne left by Queen Enid?

    Egbert : Tis common knowledge, Sire... The queen on her deathbed spoke of a son sent off to Italy with the pommel stone of the sword requiter tied about him.

  • Aella : Cousin Egbert, Why have your lands never been attacked by the Vikings?

    Egbert : What do you mean, Sire?

    Aella : Neither your lands or the lands of your fellow conspiritors have ever suffered any real harm.

    Egbert : Fellow conspiritors?

    Aella : For years you have conspiried against me.

  • Egbert : [Egbert shows Eric the pommel stone of the sword requiter]  Do you know what this is?

    [Eric grabs for it] 

    Egbert : Soemday, I'll tell you... And you'll remember then that I saved you.

  • Eric : [Sandpiper removes the metal collar on Eric's neck]  I'm still a slave.

    Egbert : You won't be when you get to England.

    Eric : I'll never get to England.

    Egbert : You're like a wounded animal... You trust no one.
