Quotes9

  • Gawain: [after Tristan lands his dagger in the butt of Galahad's dagger] Tristan, how do you do that?
  • Tristan: I aim for the middle.
  • Bors: Dagonet, she wants to get married and give the children names.
  • Tristan: Women! The children already have names, don't they?
  • Bors: Just Gilly. It's too much trouble so we gave the rest of them numbers.
  • Lancelot: That's interesting. I thought you couldn't count.
  • Tristan: We knights are blessed in that we do not run from it. We seek it, grasp it by the throat and demand honor in our passing.
  • Galahad: I don't kill for pleasure.
  • Tristan: You should try it some day. You might get a taste for it.
  • Bors: It's in your blood boy.
  • Galahad: Oh no. No. After tomorrow, this was all just a bad memory.
  • Arthur: Knights... Brothers and arms... Your courage has been testet beyond all limits.
  • Bors: Yes
  • Arthur: But I must ask you now for one further trial.
  • Bors: Drink.
  • Arthur: We must leave on a final mission for Rome before our freedom can be granted. Above the wall, far north, there is a Roman family in need of rescue. They are trapped by Saxons. Our orders is to secure their safety.
  • Bors: Let the Romans take care of their own.
  • Gawain: Above the wall is Woad territory.
  • Galahad: Our duty to Rome, if it ever was a duty, is done. Our pact with Rome is done.
  • Bors: Every knight here has laid his life on the line for you. For you. And instead of freedom you want more blood? Our blood? You think more of Roman blood than you do of ours?
  • Arthur: Bors! These are our orders. We leave at first light, and when we return your freedom will be waiting for you. A freedom we can embrace with honour.
  • Bors: I'm a free man! I will choose my own fate!
  • Tristan: Yeah, yeah, we're all going to die someday. If it's a death from a Saxons hand that frightens you, stay home.
  • Galahad: Listen, if you're so eager to die, you can die right now! I've got something to live for!
  • Lancelot: Enough. Enough!
  • Dagonet: The Romans have broken their word. We have the word of Arthur. That is good enough. I'll prepare.
  • Tristan: Yeah, we're all going to die some day. If it's death from a Saxon hand that frightens you, stay home.
  • Galahad: If you're so eager to die you can die right now!
  • Lancelot, Arthur, Bors, Gawain, Tristan, Dagonet: [the knights line up on the hill near the fort and charge towards the Saxons] For Arthur!
  • Bors: Well, now that we're free men, I'm gonna drink 'tll I can't piss straight.
  • Gawain: You do that every night.
  • Bors: I never could piss straight. Too much of myself to handle down there...
  • [looks at the Knights]
  • Bors: Well, it's a problem! No really, it is. It's a problem. It's like...
  • Bors, Gawain, Lancelot, Tristan, Galahad, Dagonet: ...a baby's arm holding an apple.
  • [Tristan has been scouting the Saxons]
  • Bors: How many did you kill?
  • Tristan: Four.
  • Bors: Not a bad start to the day.
