- Sir Leon: [speaking of Gwen and Elyan's late father] I think he'd be proud.
- Gwen: Particularly of Elyan.
- Sir Elyan: Me?
- Gwen: Not just because you're a knight, but because of the man you've become.
- Sir Elyan: I don't think so.
- Sir Percival: She's right.
- Sir Gwaine: Absolutely. You're outstanding. Especially when it comes to trying to sweet talk the ladies, if nothing else.
- Sir Elyan: Don't listen to him.
- Sir Gwaine: No. Elyan loves only one woman.
- Gwen: Who?
- Sir Elyan: You!
- Gwen: Tell me! I'm your sister.
- Sir Gwaine: Did Arthur not say?
- Gwen: Arthur never tells me anything.
- Sir Elyan: But he told you who Gwaine's in love with.
- Gwen: Himself.
- [Leon and Percival share the same nightmare]
- Sir Leon: [awaking in terror] The tower!
- Merlin: It was a dream.
- Sir Leon: Everything in its shadow was dead and... and the sound, it was like... like children screaming.
- Sir Percival: And the rain that fell was like blood. I had the same dream. I was lost in a forest, and the trees had claws and... and I finally escaped it. There was a plain.
- Sir Leon: Empty as far as the eye could see, except...
- Sir Percival: ...rising into the sky was a black pillar of stone.
- Sir Leon: A tower so dark it could swallow the sun.
- Arthur: The dark tower. It's a place where every young knight's taught to dread, and rightly so. It's where many have met their end.
- Merlin: I've never heard of it.
- Arthur: With good reason. It's said that the mere mention of it can bring doom to any of those who hear it.
- Merlin: Who are you?
- Queen Mab: Why, I'm Queen Mab. I am the spirit of this place. And all the places that bring despair to men's hearts. Few have ever seen me Emrys. You should count yourself fortunate.
- Merlin: You... everything in this forest, it's bewildering.
- Queen Mab: The forest is one step of the journey.
- Merlin: How do we find our way out?
- Queen Mab: Oh, little one, you should not have to ask. Left is right and right is left, and the way behind is the way ahead. It is simple.
- Merlin: Oh!... simple...
