• Arthur : It's a shame. He would've been a great knight.

  Merlin : Maybe one day he still will.

  Arthur : The rules won't allow it. Knights are noblemen. Always have been, always will be. It's a tradition that...

  [Sees Gwen say goodbye to Gwaine] 

  Arthur : They seem very friendly.

  Merlin : Why should you care?

  Arthur : I don't.

  [Gwen laughs] 

  Arthur : She could do better than that!

  Merlin : What, she should be setting her sights... higher? Oh, but I forget, she can't. A girl of Gwen's standing, no. She can never consort with a nobleman. That's the rules.

  Arthur : Merlin?

  Merlin : Shut up.

  Arthur : You guessed it.

• Merlin : This is one of those moments where I tell you something isn't a good idea and you ignore me, isn't it?

  Arthur : You're learning, Merlin. Slowly, but you're learning.

• Merlin : Who's that?

  Arthur : Ahh, Sir Darien. He's here for the melee.

  Merlin : Oh, yeah, the tournament where the knights ride around hitting each other with blunt weapons for no good reason.

  Arthur : A little more to it than that.

  Merlin : Really? All I've ever seen is people getting the seven bells knocked out of them so that the last man standing can be called a winner.

  Arthur : The melee is the ultimate test of strength and courage.

  Merlin : Are you sure we're talking about the same thing?

  Arthur : Well, I wouldn't expect you to understand. You're not a knight.

  Merlin : Well, if it means I don't get clobbered 'round the head, I'm glad of it.

• [Arthur tosses Dagr] 

  Dagr : I'm gonna to make you pay for that.

  Merlin : I'd like to see you try.

  [Dagr whistles and several large men enter the tavern] 

  Arthur : You had to open you're big mouth, didn't you, Merlin?
