- Arthur: I don't know why I bring you on these expeditions. You spend the whole time terrified.
- Merlin: I'm not terrified.
- Arthur: Yes you are. I can tell you are.
- Merlin: No you can't.
- Arthur: If you weren't scared, you would be talking rubbish as usual.
- Merlin: I am talking rubbish as usual.
- [Arthur smiles]
- Merlin: I mean, I am talking as usual, so clearly I'm not scared.
- Gaius: The future is as yet unshaped. It is we that shape it. It is you, Merlin. The decisions you make, the actions you take. Remember that.
