Quotes 

• Gaius : Arthur's planning on using magic?

  Merlin : He's desperate. He knows it's his only hope of healing Uther.

  Gaius : Merlin, please tell me you're not going to do this.

  Merlin : I'd be lying if I said no.

  Gaius : You can't risk exposing yourself like this. It's too dangerous.

  Merlin : Arthur didn't recognize me last time when I was eighty years old. There's no reason why he should this time.

  Gaius : Need I remind you the last time you used an aging spell you nearly had yourself burnt at the stake.

  Merlin : It's worth the risk.

  Gaius : Do you think Uther is going to thank you for healing him with magic? He's more likely to have you hanged.

  Merlin : Uther will never change his attitude towards magic - I know THAT - but if Arthur allows it to be used to heal his father, his attitude will be changed forever. He'll see that magic CAN be a force for good.

• Arthur : [entering]  Gaius, have you seen my worthless toad of a servant?

  Gaius : [knowing Merlin's hiding right behind the door]  I'm afraid not.

  Arthur : Well, where on earth is he?

  Gaius : [improvising]  You tried the tavern?

  Arthur : The tavern. Of course. I am going to make him wish he was never born.

• Merlin : Why did you tell him I was in the tavern?

  Gaius : It was the first thing that popped into my head.

  Merlin : Well, next time, go for the second, or the third thing that pops into your head. Just anywhere but the tavern.
