Quotes 

• Arthur : I ask you not to lie to me, even if you think you'll hurt me. Have you given yourself to him?

  Guinevere : No, my lord.

  Arthur : Do you love him?

  Guinevere : Yes.

  Arthur : How did I fail you?

  Guinevere : You've never failed me, my lord.

  Arthur : I saw your face as you kissed him.

  Guinevere : Love has many faces. I look on you differently, but not with less love.

• Guinevere : Do you have secrets to tell me?

  Arthur : No. No secrets. Just a question. Do you want to marry me? You don't have to marry me because your father wanted it. Camelot will protect Lyonesse, whether you marry me or not.

  Guinevere : Thank you. You don't know what it means to me to hear you say that.

  Arthur : Do you want to be released from the engagement?

  Guinevere : No. I want to marry you. Not your crown, not your army. Just you.

• Arthur : John will send any message you want.

  Guinevere : My Lord grants my wishes before I speak them.

  Guinevere : [Addressing the messenger]  Tell my people I'm come safe into my new country. Tell them you saw my eyes filled with tears of joy.

  Arthur : Already a queen.

• Guinevere : If there is any honor in you, promise me never to do that again.

  Lancelot : I don't know about honor. But I promise you, I won't kiss you again till you ask me to.

• Guinevere : I only know one way to love my lord, and that is body and mind and soul.

• Arthur : [Reading Malagant's peace treaty]  "Armed forces to be given access to all Leonesse."

  [Malagant looks smuggly at him and Guinevere] 

  Arthur : "Troops to assist in the enforcement of law... in all Leonesse."

  Arthur : Do you want to sign this?

  Guinevere : I'll never sign it.

  Arthur : There's your answer she says no.

• Guinevere : Forgive me!

  Arthur : What's to forgive? I dreamed the dream of you. It was a sweet dream, while it lasted.

• Arthur : When a woman loves two men, she must choose between them.

  Guinevere : I choose you.

  Arthur : Your will chooses me. Your heart chooses him.

  Guinevere : My will is stronger than my heart. Do you think I put so high a price on my feelings? They'll pass. My will holds me to my course through life.

  Arthur : As mine does me. And yet, all I have to do is look at you and everything I ever believed in fades to nothing. All I want is your love.

  Guinevere : You have it.

  Arthur : Do I? Then look on me as you looked on him.

  Guinevere : I gave one moment to Lancelot.

  Arthur : Yes. You're innocent. BUT YOU LOVE HIM!

  [walks off] 

  Arthur : Any more of this innocence and I'll go mad!
