Michael Horton: Arn

Quotes 

• Rowanne : Have you ever seen such destruction?

  Prince Valiant : Yes. But only as a result of warfare.

  Arn : No war can match the fury of nature, Valiant.

• Arn : Harold, you can't know how glad I am to see you again.

  Harold : Oh, yes I can. I have missed you too, Arn.

• Will : It's an honor to meet you, Sir Arn.

  Arn : I'm not a Sir.

  Harold : But one day he will be. And he'll make a fine knight of the Round Table.

• Arn : To be one with nature, you must move *with* the forest, not intrude on it.

• Arn : Mercy. Please, sir, show him some mercy, he has a wife and a child!

  Blake of Haven : Mercy? I'll show him mercy. The same mercy he showed my brother.

• Arn : There is nothing to do now but mourn. And that I can do only by myself.

• Prince Valiant : Would you abandon all that you love in order to pursue that which you hate?

  Arn : What good is it to wield a sword in the name of truth and justice if I turn away from justice when it's most needed?

  Prince Valiant : But revenge is *empty* justice, Arn. Killing Blake is not going to fill that emptiness that Harold's death has left. Only time, and love, will do that.

  Arn : Valiant, in my life now I have lost not one father but two. The first time I was a child. I could do nothing. Now I must do something, I *must*. If I don't, I don't think I'll be able to go on.

• Blake of Haven : [being choked]  M... m... mercy!

  Arn : I'll show you the same mercy you showed Harold!

• Rowanne : We love you, Arn. And no momentary weakness will change that.

  [she, he, and Valiant hug] 

  Arn : How can I blessed with such wonderful friends when I have proven myself so unworthy?

  Rowanne : Arn, how can you say that?

  Arn : It's true, Rowanne. I discarded the ideals of Camelot to seek my revenge. How can such a man ever hope to become a knight of the Round Table?

  Prince Valiant : You made a mistake, Arn. But you corrected it. Because of you, Blake will stand trial according to the laws of Camelot.

  Arn : But I almost committed murder.

  Prince Valiant : Yes. But you did not. That was the ultimate test of your spirit.

  Rowanne : All you have learned here will only make you a wiser and more compassionate man.

• Sarah : You have displayed the true strength of the ideals of Camelot.

  Arn : But...

  Sarah : Harold loved you like a son, Arn.

  [kisses him] 

  Sarah : Fulfill his dream. Take the sword and become a knight of the Round Table. Become that which Harold could never be.

  Will : Please, Arn. I want you to have it.

  Arn : [hugging him]  I'll make you proud of me. I promise.
