Eragon : Stand up!
Murtagh : [laughs] All my life I've dreamed of dragons.
Eragon : Who are you, and why are you following us?
Murtagh : I'm Murtagh, and you need me, Dragon Rider.
Eragon : Thanks, but we're fine without you.
Murtagh : You seek the Varden? I know the mountains, every valley and stream.
[points to Arya, who is on the ground]
Murtagh : She will suffer if you go astray.
Eragon : [suspicious] Why would you risk your life for us?
Murtagh : My family was slaughtered by the king's men when I was a boy. I heard rumors, they said a Rider had appeared. If there were ever a time for retribution, this was it.
Eragon : If you can show me the quickest way to the Varden.
Murtagh : Then to the Varden it is.
Murtagh : [walks forward a few steps, then stops and turns to Eragon] You'll learn to trust me, Dragon Rider.
[Saphira growls]
Eragon : I'm not the only one you need to convince.

Murtagh : [yelling] I suggest you leave quickly!

Murtagh : [Eragon saves Murtagh's life] I guess we're even!

Eragon : We've come to join you.
Ajihad : Seize him.
Eragon : [lunges forward. Saphira roars] NO! He's with me. He saved my life.
Ajihad : [points to Murtagh accusingly] He is the son of Morzan, the traitor.
Eragon : [turns to Murtagh] Is it true?
Murtagh : A son doesn't choose his father.
[pulls up tunic to reveal large, ropy scar]
Murtagh : This was the only thing he ever gave me. I hated that man until the day he died.
Ajihad : Lock him up. If he tries to escape, kill him.

Murtagh : We'll have to go on foot from here.
