Prince Valiant

Sir Gawain:
You were a young fool. But I was an old fool, which is worse.

Prince Valiant:
I called you a traitor when you delivered me into Sligon's hands and now I say it again - traitor!

Sir Gawain:
Stop interrupting and I'll tell you what happened. After you left I went out after you. That's when I came upon the Black Knight.

Prince Valiant:
You found him?

Sir Gawain:
Aye. He was searchin' the wood when I challenged him. We fought and he was good. His lance broke and I outhorsed him. I came in to finish him, when a dozen armed men came charging out at me.

Prince Valiant:
They were on foot? Armed with bows?

Sir Gawain:
Aye. It was only with luck I escaped through a hail of arrows.

Prince Valiant:
So did I!

Sir Gawain:
You what?

Prince Valiant:
I was set upon by a band of archers, escaped with an arrow in my back.

Sir Gawain:
Where was Sir Brack?

Prince Valiant:
I don't know. I was nearly captured where he told me to wait for him. Now he says he went back to find me and found no one. Isn't that strange sir?

Sir Gawain:
What do you imply?

Prince Valiant:
It's hard to put into words, sir, but could it be that he covets King Arthur's throne more than anyone knows?

Sir Gawain:
Sir Brack. A foul suspicion, Val. Unworthy of you.

Prince Valiant:
Yes, I suppose it is unworthy.

Sir Gawain:
Sir Brack may have been born on the wrong side of the blanket, but he's a Knight of the Round Table, sworn to pledge allegiance to our King, and to defend justice, the weak and the helpless.

Prince Valiant:
I'm sorry, sir.

Sir Gawain:
You turned out to be flinging rocks like any lowborn ruffian. Why I've never been unhorsed by such a scurvy trick!

Sir Gawain:
A man does not risk banishment or death in borrowed armor unless the stakes are high.

Princess Aleta:
[to Valiant] I hate you! I love you! I'll never marry anyone else!

King Luke:
What's wrong with Sir Brack? His blood is as good as Arthur's!

Princess Aleta:
And he never lets us forget it as his own father apparently did.

Sir Brack:
Traitor is a word that winners give to losers, and you've lost.

Sir Gawain:
The truth hurts sometimes, but it's the only thing to build happiness on.

Sir Gawain:
If you're King Aguar's son, why did you fling that rock?

Prince Valiant:
I thought you were the knight that was after me.

Sir Gawain:
What knight?

Prince Valiant:
All I saw was his black armor.

Sir Gawain:
The Black Knight? You saw him?

Prince Valiant:
I near had his lance in my back. Who is he?

Sir Gawain:
A ghost.

Prince Valiant:
Oh, ghosts don't chase a man in daylight.

Sir Gawain:
Right.

Patriarch:
[Holding up cross] By this sign shall ye conquer. [Crowd repeats his words]

Boltar:
Signs won't conquer Sligon !

Unnamed Viking:
Boltar !

Boltar:
I mean it, brothers. Words won't save our king.

Patriarch:
We must trust in our Lord and keep the faith.

Boltar:
Would there be any Christian faith if our people had never fought for it ? The Lord helps those who help themselves !

Unnamed Viking:
[Boltar is trying to convince his men to rescue Val and his family] But Boltar, we'd die before we'd get through the gates !

Boltar:
At least we'd die fighting.

Unnamed Viking:
Would you lead the attack ?

Boltar:
You will. I'll be inside. I'm the only one here they'll pass through the gates. And I'll take Gorlock. When I get him inside, he'll make his way to the tower. You gather every man. Be armed and ready. And when you see Gorlock wave the torch, attack !

Unnamed Viking:
A torch waved from the top of the tower ? What will it mean ?

Boltar:
That I've taken care of Sligon.

Unnamed Viking:
Ah, it's been tried. No one gets past Sligon's guards.

Boltar:
Leave that to me.

Gorlock:
How will I know when to wave the torch ?

Boltar:
Idiot ! Do you think I'll die quietly ?
