Richard Wilson: Gaius

Quotes 

• Gaius : Merlin, the only person who ever doubts your powers is you.

• Arthur : Gaius, you're sure this is gonna work?

  Gaius : You' be amazed how much license old age lends you, sire. Merlin, come. We meet at the darkling wood.

  Arthur : Merlin, if you drop her...

  Merlin : I know. I lose my head.

  Arthur : Just so we're clear.

• Gaius : Are you all right?

  Merlin : [struggling to tote the queen in a wheelbarrow]  She's a lot heavier than she looks.

  Gaius : That might very well be grounds for treason.

• Gaius : It is the only way, sire. Sorcery has to be fought with sorcery.

• Arthur : This tincture of belladonna, what are its effects?

  Gaius : Patient is rendered into a deep sleep...

  Arthur : Patient?

  Gaius : It is generally used for the badly wounded.

  Arthur : How long does it last?

  Gaius : A few hours. It has to be administered several times a day to provide a continuous sleep.

  Merlin : But for no more than three days.

  Gaius : It is true, sire. The tincture should not be taken for an extended period.

  Arthur : Or?

  Merlin : The body will not tolerate it.

  Arthur : Thank you, Merlin.

• Gaius : When I was young I heard talk of an ancient ritual of the old religion called The Tiana Diaga.

  Merlin : Tiana Diaga?

  Gaius : The Sacred Fire. The ritual used the mandrake root to bring unimaginable terror to the victim. Their screams could be heard twenty leagues away. When it was finally over, their will was no longer their own. They were slaves of the high priestesses for eternity.

• Merlin : You know how exhausting the aging spell is, Giaus. I don't have the strength to do that and perform the ceremony.

  Gaius : Then you must find the strength.

• Gaius : You underestimate the power of love, Merlin.
