- Sir Mordred: There may be many methods by which truth and justice can be protected. But the only truly efficient way to do it is with cold steel. And God help any kingdom foolish enough to forget it.
- Prince Valiant: I was just caught up in Sir Mordred's words.
- Lady Morgana: Yes. There are times when Mordred speaks a great many more of them than he should.
- Merlin: But in spite of their number, they still have the feeling that they leave much of the story untold.
- Prince Valiant: You do love surprises, don't you?
- Merlin: Surprises, my young friend, are the stuff of life itself.
- Merlin: Your memory of Mordred's crest and its meaning to you is not lost, Valiant. It is simply - misplaced, for the moment.
- Merlin: You have simply looked upon the truth. And there are times when that can be a terrible and frightening thing.
- Sir Mordred: Your technique is good, Bryant, but as always much too formal.
- [yells as Sir Bryant trips him from where he landed on the ground disarmed]
- Sir Bryant: And you, Mordred, often forget to expect the unexpected.
- Sir Mordred: How is it every time I swear to be free of you, I find myself back in your arms?
- Lady Morgana: Because you can no more be free of me than the night sky can be free of the stars.
