- Sir Gawain: You turned out to be flinging rocks like any lowborn ruffian. Why I've never been unhorsed by such a scurvy trick!
- King Luke: What's wrong with Sir Brack? His blood is as good as Arthur's!
- Princess Aleta: And he never lets us forget it as his own father apparently did.
- Sir Gawain: If you're King Aguar's son, why did you fling that rock?
- Prince Valiant: I thought you were the knight that was after me.
- Sir Gawain: What knight?
- Prince Valiant: All I saw was his black armor.
- Sir Gawain: The Black Knight? You saw him?
- Prince Valiant: I near had his lance in my back. Who is he?
- Sir Gawain: A ghost.
- Prince Valiant: Oh, ghosts don't chase a man in daylight.
- Sir Gawain: Right.
- Patriarch: [Holding up cross] By this sign shall ye conquer.
- [Crowd repeats his words]
- Boltar: Signs won't conquer Sligon!
- Unnamed Viking: Boltar!
- Boltar: I mean it, brothers. Words won't save our king.
- Patriarch: We must trust in our Lord and keep the faith.
- Boltar: Would there be any Christian faith if our people had never fought for it? The Lord helps those who help themselves!
- Unnamed Viking: [Boltar is trying to convince his men to rescue Val and his family] But Boltar, we'd die before we'd get through the gates!
- Boltar: At least we'd die fighting.
- Unnamed Viking: Would you lead the attack?
- Boltar: You will. I'll be inside. I'm the only one here they'll pass through the gates. And I'll take Gorlock. When I get him inside, he'll make his way to the tower. You gather every man. Be armed and ready. And when you see Gorlock wave the torch, attack!
- Unnamed Viking: A torch waved from the top of the tower? What will it mean?
- Boltar: That I've taken care of Sligon.
- Unnamed Viking: Ah, it's been tried. No one gets past Sligon's guards.
- Boltar: Leave that to me.
- Gorlock: How will I know when to wave the torch?
- Boltar: Idiot! Do you think I'll die quietly?
- Prince Valiant: I called you a traitor when you delivered me into Sligon's hands and now I say it again - traitor!
- Sir Gawain: Stop interrupting and I'll tell you what happened. After you left I went out after you. That's when I came upon the Black Knight.
- Prince Valiant: You found him?
- Sir Gawain: Aye. He was searchin' the wood when I challenged him. We fought and he was good. His lance broke and I outhorsed him. I came in to finish him, when a dozen armed men came charging out at me.
- Prince Valiant: They were on foot? Armed with bows?
- Sir Gawain: Aye. It was only with luck I escaped through a hail of arrows.
- Prince Valiant: So did I!
- Sir Gawain: You what?
- Prince Valiant: I was set upon by a band of archers, escaped with an arrow in my back.
- Sir Gawain: Where was Sir Brack?
- Prince Valiant: I don't know. I was nearly captured where he told me to wait for him. Now he says he went back to find me and found no one. Isn't that strange, sir?
- Sir Gawain: What do you imply?
- Prince Valiant: It's hard to put into words, sir, but could it be that he covets King Arthur's throne more than anyone knows?
- Sir Gawain: Sir Brack. A foul suspicion, Val. Unworthy of you.
- Prince Valiant: Yes, I suppose it is unworthy.
- Sir Gawain: Sir Brack may have been born on the wrong side of the blanket, but he's a Knight of the Round Table, sworn to pledge allegiance to our King, and to defend justice, the weak and the helpless.
- Prince Valiant: I'm sorry, sir.
