- Arthur: I can't find my comb.
- Gwen: Have you looked?
- Arthur: Everywhere.
- [Gwen passes directly to Arthur's cabinet, picks up his comb and holds it before him]
- Arthur: Must've been under something.
- Gwen: Your nose?
- Arthur: You just have this way of seeing things.
- Gwen: Yes, two of them. They're called eyes.
- Arthur: There is a rumor that you held Morgana prisoner. Is it true?
- The Sarrum: She's nothing to be feared. I kept her like an animal.
- Arthur: How did you capture her? She's a sorceress, a high priestess.
- The Sarrum: I found her weakness. Everyone has one, even a high priestess. A young dragon. Her love for that creature caused her to suffer more than she ever imagined possible, but not more than she deserved.
- Arthur: Merlin!
- Gaius: Uh... he's garnering herbs, sire.
- Arthur: But, I need him. Now.
- Gaius: Well, he may be some time.
- Arthur: Where is he?
- Gaius: He's gone out in pursuit of a young agrimonia.
- Arthur: A what?
- Gaius: Agrimonia, sire. A noble but shy plant, not easy to find. It could take him all day.
- Arthur: All day?
- Gaius: It is invaluable, sire. It's properties open up both the liver and the spleen.
- Arthur: He's in the tavern, isn't he?
- Gaius: No, sire!
- Arthur: Well, when he's finished opening up his liver and his spleen, tell him he has exactly one hour to sober up and get to my chambers. We've a guest to prepare for.
- Gaius: A journey to The Valley of the Fallen Kings, Merlin? It's a den of murderers, cutthroats.
- Merlin: It is dangerous.
- Gaius: It's a long way north of dangerous.
- Merlin: What am I supposed to do? Let this girl die?
- Gaius: The journey there and back is going to take you the best part of a day. how are you gong to keep it from Arthur?
- Merlin: I'm sure you'll think of something!
- Gaius: ME?
- Gaius: Sarrum does have a reputation.
- Arthur: Even my father feared him. They say he takes joy in impaling men.
- Gaius: Not just men, sire. Women and children, too. He also has a fondness for assassinating his friends.
- Arthur: I doubt we'll ever be that close, although we do share on thing - a hatred for Morgana.
- Gwen: Oh, I knew I should've said something. Arthur, I feel terrible. This is my fault. I know where Merlin is.
- Gaius: Where?
- Gwen: I shouldn't say. I promised him I wouldn't, but... he's gone to visit someone.
- Arthur: Who?
- Gwen: He's not in danger. He's seeing a girl.
- Arthur: Merlin?
- Gwen: Gaius, I'm sorry, but there is no reason to worry.
- Arthur: Except for the poor girl.
