Quotes 

• Merlin : You know, if Morgana doesn't kill you, I will.

  Arthur : Threatening your king is treason, Merlin.

  Merlin : How about threatening an ass?

  Arthur : Heard that!

• Arthur : Merlin, is there anything you are actually capable of doing?

  Merlin : Putting up with you.

• Queen Annis : I would love to see your fool perform. Given all his failings, he must have SOME skills.

  Arthur : You'd think so, wouldn't you? You heard the queen. Jump to it.

  Merlin : I'm not a fool.

  Arthur : That's debatable.

  Merlin : And I don't have any skills.

  Arthur : I know that, but we can't refuse the queen when she's granted us safe passage, can we?

  [Merlin uses a nonverbal spell. Merlin juggles with four eggs, then makes them disappear. The crowd is entertained, while Arthur watches his performance with a weird look on his face] 

• Arthur : I swear I'm going to rescue my men, or die trying.

  Merlin : And I swear I will protect you or die at your side.

• Arthur : If only we had a horse.

  Merlin : Or a pig.

  Arthur : You can't ride a pig.

  Merlin : No, but we can roast it... with carrots, parsnip and apples.

  Arthur : Merlin...

  Merlin : No, you're right. We won't waste those apples. We'll put them in a pie.

  Arthur : Stop it.

• Arthur : What actually happened?

  Merlin : The usual. I saved your neck.

  Arthur : You saved me?

  Merlin : Yes. And I can juggle. I keep telling you I have many talents.

• Merlin : Do you really think Gwaine and Percival could still be alive?

  Arthur : I have to find out. They're Knights of the Round Table. It's a bond we share.

  Merlin : I understand.

  Arthur : If it was you that disappeared, Merlin, I wouldn't bother.

• Arthur : Where did you learn to juggle like that? Honestly, I didn't even know you could catch.

  Merlin : Yes, well, I have many talents. You've failed to notice them, that's all.

• Ragnor : The King of Camelot. You will fetch a handsome price. Alive or dead. Any last requests?

  Arthur : Let my servant go. He doesn't deserve to die like this.

  Merlin : If you're going to kill him, you'll have to kill me first.

  Arthur : Merlin! Step aside.

  Merlin : You know I never do as I'm told.

• Arthur : Look, stick to juggling, Merlin. Leave the important things to me.

  Merlin : But...

  [Arthur throws his boot at Merlin. Merlin doesn't catch it and the boot falls to the floor] 

  Arthur : Here. See, explain that.

  Merlin : I wish I could.

  [Merlin takes the boot from the floor]
