Quotes 

• [first lines] 

  Queen Guinevere : Ten years have passed since our wedding day; I can hardly believe it. I still remember it as if it were yesterday, the garters and the parties and the music...

  King Arthur : What I can still remember is your father's face. Horrified at the idea of you marrying a penniless young upstart with nothing more to offer than a dream called Camelot.

  Queen Guinevere : [laughs]  It's true. Father couldn't stand you; he found you quite impossible.

  King Arthur : Oh, I probably was. But you've got to admit I've improved since the days of my arrogant youth. Thanks to you. All that I've become, Gwen, all that I've accomplished, is because of you.

• King Arthur : We have spent the best part of a decade building the New Order, Gwen. It may be time to turn our attention to the creation of a new generation. One which will continue to build the dream of Camelot after we're gone.

• King Arthur : Think carefully about what you're doing, Stefan. This is treason.

  Stefan of Albans : Oh, I've been thinking, dear Arthur. About a king who demands that his barons regard the peasant vermin under their feet as equals. Since you love equality so much I shall let you test its bite. Death is the great equalizer, is it not?

• King Arthur : It didn't turn out to be the quiet anniversary we hoped for, did it, Gwen?

  Queen Guinevere : [amused]  My marriage to you has never been quiet, Arthur.
