• Arthur : Swear faith to me, and you shall have mercy! I need battle lords such as you!

  Uryenes : [scornfully]  A noble knight swear faith to a squire?

  Mador : NEVER... NEVER!

  Arthur : You're right... I'm not yet a knight.

  Arthur : [Hands Excalibur to Uryenes and kneels] 

  Arthur : You, Uryenes, will knight me. Then as knight to knight... I can offer you mercy.

  Merlin : [Alarmed]  What's this? What's this?

  Mador : Keep it, Uryenes!

  Uryenes : [hesitates and then touches Excalibur to Arthur's shoulder]  In the name of God, St Michael and St George, I give you the right to bear arms and the power to mete justice!

  Arthur : That duty I will solemnly obey, as knight and king.

  Merlin : I never saw this.

  Uryenes : Rise... King Arthur.

  Uryenes : [Uryenes kneels before Arthur]  I am your humble knight, and I swear allegiance to the courage in your veins. So strong it is, its source must be Uther Pendragon. I doubt you no more!

• Sir Ector : [the nobles are arguing over Arthur's drawing of the sword] 

  Lot : Aye, Leondegrance! Join us against the boy!

  Leondegrance : I saw what I saw! The boy drew the sword. If a boy has been chosen, a boy shall be King!

  Lot : NO, I challenge that!

  Sir Ector : The sword has been drawn!

  Uryenes : [to Leondegrance]  Are you with us, or against us?

  Leondegrance : Against you!
