- King Arthur: May God grant us the wisdom to discover right, the will to choose it, and the strength to make it endure.
- Arthur: Lancelot, just a thought. A man who fears nothing is a man who loves nothing; and if you love nothing, what joy is there in your life? I may be wrong.
- King Arthur: There's a peace only to be found on the other side of war. If that war should come I will fight it!
- King Arthur: I have no pride left in me. What I do, now I do for my people and for Camelot. And may they forgive me. This is my last act as your king. Do not be afraid. All things change. I am Arthur of Camelot, and I command you now... all... To fight! Fight like you've never fought before! Never surrender! Never Surrender! Fight as you never...
- [Arthur is shot by several crossbow bolts]
- King Arthur: Camelot lives!
- Lancelot: You have to sudy your opponent: how he moves, so you know what he's gonna do before he does it.
- Mark: I can do that.
- Lancelot: You have to know that one moment in every fight when you win or lose and you have to know how to wait for it.
- Mark: I can do that.
- Lancelot: And you have to not care whether you live or die.
- King Arthur: Either what we hold to be right, and good, and true IS right and good and true for all mankind under God, or we're just another robber tribe.
- King Arthur: For the first in my life, I wanted what all wise man say can't last; what can't be promised or made to linger any more than sunlight. I don't want to die without having felt its warmth on my face.
- King Arthur: This is the heart of Camelot, not these stones, not these timbers, these palaces and towers. Burn them all and Camelot lives on, because it lives in us. Camelot is a belief that we hold in our hearts.
- Peter, King's Stableman: [Refers to Guinevere riding] She's a rare beauty, sire.
- Arthur: Yes, she is.
- Peter, King's Stableman: So is the mare.
- Arthur: I ask you not to lie to me, even if you think you'll hurt me. Have you given yourself to him?
- Guinevere: No, my lord.
- Arthur: Do you love him?
- Guinevere: Yes.
- Arthur: How did I fail you?
- Guinevere: You've never failed me, my lord.
- Arthur: I saw your face as you kissed him.
- Guinevere: Love has many faces. I look on you differently, but not with less love.
- Guinevere: Do you have secrets to tell me?
- Arthur: No. No secrets. Just a question. Do you want to marry me? You don't have to marry me because your father wanted it. Camelot will protect Lyonesse, whether you marry me or not.
- Guinevere: Thank you. You don't know what it means to me to hear you say that.
- Arthur: Do you want to be released from the engagement?
- Guinevere: No. I want to marry you. Not your crown, not your army. Just you.
- Malagant: Self-sacrifice is very easy. It's having to sacrifice someone you love that puts your convictions to the test.
- Lancelot: I've never believed in anything before. But I do believe in Camelot, and I would serve it best by leaving.
- Arthur: My truest... my First Knight. Camelot is your home now. You are the future... The future of Camelot. You take care of her for me. Take care of her.
- Arthur: [Reading Malagant's peace treaty] "Armed forces to be given access to all Leonesse."
- [Malagant looks smuggly at him and Guinevere]
- Arthur: "Troops to assist in the enforcement of law... in all Leonesse."
- Arthur: Do you want to sign this?
- Guinevere: I'll never sign it.
- Arthur: There's your answer she says no.
- Arthur: When a woman loves two men, she must choose between them.
- Guinevere: I choose you.
- Arthur: Your will chooses me. Your heart chooses him.
- Guinevere: My will is stronger than my heart. Do you think I put so high a price on my feelings? They'll pass. My will holds me to my course through life.
- Arthur: As mine does me. And yet, all I have to do is look at you and everything I ever believed in fades to nothing. All I want is your love.
- Guinevere: You have it.
- Arthur: Do I? Then look on me as you looked on him.
- Guinevere: I gave one moment to Lancelot.
- Arthur: Yes. You're innocent. BUT YOU LOVE HIM!
- [walks off]
- Arthur: Any more of this innocence and I'll go mad!
- Malagant: What I offer you is freedom; freedom from Arthur's tyrannical dream; fredom from Arthur's tyrannical law; freedom from Arthur's tyrannical God.
- King Arthur: I trusted you, loved you, and you betrayed me!
- Lancelot: I never meant to hurt you, my lord.
- King Arthur: You leave me nothing! Nothing!
- Malagant: Men don't want brotherhood, they want leadership. HO!
- [Claps his hands and all his men stand at attention at once]
