Malagant: May I congratulate the king on his forthcoming marriage. [points to the empty seat] I see my place hasn't been taken yet. [sets his sword down on the table] To think that I was once first among your knights. Arthur: You left this council of your own free will. Malagant: We each of us must follow our own road, my lord, and mine had further to go. Arthur: And where does your road take you, Malagant? To Lyonesse?

Malagant: Welcome to my palace, my lady. [bows mockingly] I think we can release the lady from her bonds. [draws a dagger] If she so wishes. Malagant: What's this? Your dress is torn. Ralf?

This is what Arthur doesn't understand. Men don't want brotherhood. They want leadership. [claps his hands with a shout, and several men approach; he chuckles] Shall we?

Arthur: I have no pride left in me. What I do, now I do for my people and for Camelot. And may they forgive me. This is my last act as your king. Do not be afraid. All things change. [thrusts sword onto the ground] I am Arthur of Camelot, and I command you now... all... [kneels but suddenly rises with sword] TO FIGHT!!
