Quotes 

• Uther Pendragon : [looks out a window]  There must be some way to rid ourselves of this aberration.

  [the advisors look at each other and King Uther looks at Gaius] 

  Uther Pendragon : Gaius?

  Gaius : [unfolds his arms]  We need a Dragonlord, Sire.

  [Prince Arthur looks up] 

  Uther Pendragon : You know very well that's not an option.

  Gaius : Sire what if... there was indeed one Dragonlord left?

  Uther Pendragon : [looks out a window]  That's not possible.

  Gaius : But if there was?

  [King Uther turns around and walks towards Gaius] 

  Uther Pendragon : What are you saying?

  Gaius : It may just be rumour.

  Uther Pendragon : Go on.

  Gaius : [quite confident]  I'm not exactly sure but... I think his name... is Balinor.

  Uther Pendragon : Balinor?

  Arthur : Where does he live?

  Gaius : He was last seen in Cenred's Kingdom, in the border town of Engird, but that was many years ago.

  Arthur : [gets up, clutching his shoulder]  If this man still exists, it is our *duty* to find him.

  Uther Pendragon : [to Arthur]  Our treaty with Cenred no longer holds. We are at war.

• [Gwen is attending to Arthur] 

  Gwen : [seriously]  You shouldn't have risked your life.

  Arthur : [quite proudly]  I wasn't going to let anything happen to you.

  [Gwen smiles and as she applies a wet cloth to Arthur's chest, he puts his hand on her hand. They don't see Gaius watching nearby and he happily walks away] 

• [outside, soldiers and servants are attending to the damage as Merlin is preparing to leave] 

  Gaius : You got everything you need?

  [Merlin is concerned he may have upset Gaius earlier] 

  Merlin : I'm sorry. I didn't mean to...

  Gaius : [nods understandably]  I know that.

  Arthur : [approaching his horse]  Come on Merlin.

  Merlin : You're ready?

  [Prince Arthur mounts his horse] 

  Arthur : [annoyed]  No thanks to you.

  [Merlin goes to his horse and sees Arthur silently straining] 

  Merlin : You OK?

  Arthur : [not bothered]  It's just a scratch.

  [Merlin mounts his horse and Prince Arthur rides on ahead] 

• Arthur : I feel great!

• Arthur : No!

• Arthur : I always thought silence would be a blessing with you, but I find it just as irritating. You're a riddle, Merlin.

  Merlin : A Riddle?

  Arthur : Yes. But I've gotten to quite like you.

  Merlin : Yeah?

  Arthur : Now that I realize you're not as big a fool as you look.

  Merlin : Yeah, I feel the same; now that I realize you aren't as arrogant as you sound.

  Arthur : You still think I'm arrogant?

  Merlin : No

  [Shaking his head] 

  Merlin : More... supercilious

  Merlin : That's a big word Merlin. Are you sure you know what it means?

  Merlin : Condescending.

  Arthur : [With a nod]  Very good.

  Merlin : Patronizing,

  Arthur : [Shaking his head a bit]  It doesn't quite mean that.

  Merlin : No. These are other things you are.

  Arthur : Hang On!

  Merlin : Overbearing.

  Arthur : [Arthur hears a twig snap and picks up his sword.]  Shh...

  Merlin : [Not having heard the snap, he looks over and repeats louder]  Very Overbearing.

  Arthur : Merlin!

  [Trying to get him to be quite.] 

  Merlin : But, you wanted me to talk.

• Merlin : [Somberly, Merlin is helping put Arthur into his armor. Trying to lighten the mood]  Well, look on the bright side Merlin, chances are you won't have to clean this again.

  Merlin : [Merlin looks very serious at him]  You Must be careful today. Do Not Force the Battle.

  Arthur : Yes! Sire!

  Merlin : I'm Serious.

  Arthur : I can hear that.

  Merlin : Let matters take their course.

  Arthur : Merlin, If I die, please ...

  [He trails off and Merlin stops what he is doing and looks at him] 

  Arthur : What?

  Arthur : The Dragonlord today ... I saw you; one thing I tell all my young knights: no man is worth your tears.

  Merlin : Yeah.

  [clearing his throat] 

  Merlin : You're certainly not.

  Arthur : [Arthur picks up a sword and then looks puzzled when Merlin picks up one too.]  What are you doing?

  Merlin : I'm coming with you.

  Arthur : Merlin, the chances are I'm going to die.

  Merlin : Yeah. Yeah. You probably would if I wasn't there.

  Arthur : [Scoffing]  Right

  Merlin : Do you know how many times I've had to save your royal backside?

  Arthur : Well, at least you got your sense of humor back.
