The Adventures of Sir Lancelot

[last lines of Episode 1.1:
"Knight with the Red Plume"]

King Arthur:
I proclaim you, Sir Lancelot of the Lake, a Knight of the Round Table. By custom, you are entitled now to ask one boon, which I will grant if it be in my power.

Sir Lancelot du Lac:
Sire, a knight is not yet fully armed unless he bears the favor of a lady fair.

King Arthur:
Certainly you have the right to champion a lady and dedicate your deeds to her, when you have chosen.

Sir Lancelot du Lac:
I have already chosen, Sire. I would champion Queen Guinevere!

King Arthur:
I am sure that Queen Guinevere will take great pride in being championed by so noble a knight.

King Arthur:
Yes, yes, Merlin, but the question is - have you seen a sea monster?

Merlin:
Milord, in a word, no.

King Arthur:
Nor have I, and yet this man has come to us with a fear that, to him and his neighbors, is very real. Lancelot...

Sir Lancelot du Lac:
Milord?

King Arthur:
Go to this village, find out the cause of the people's fear... and remove it.

Sir Lancelot du Lac:
Take your hands off of me!

Horg:
Ha-ha-ha! This one thinks it is something! How dare you talk to Horg like that. You are nothing but a slave. You may thanks your gods - if you have any - that for the rest of your life you'll have the privilege of serving Vikings!

Eck:
Daughter, you should be very proud. The noble Horg has consented to make you his wife.

Sella:
Do you mean you have exchanged me for a group of slaves?

Eck:
It is good trading for such a husband. He wanted ten pieces of gold as well, but I drive a hard bargain!

Sella:
It doesn't matter, I suppose, that I detest him!

Eck:
Now, now, daughter. Once you're married, the hate will go - the gods forbid it. It is Wotan's will that a woman serve her husband faithfully. Besides, he'll be away most of the time.

[having solved a vexing puzzle, Merlin expresses his pleasure by causing a magical explosion]

Sir Lancelot du Lac:
Is that really necessary?

Merlin:
I suppose not.

Sir Lancelot du Lac:
I thought as much.

Merlin:
But it's fun, isn't it!

Sir Lancelot du Lac:
Hello, Merlin. What's got you up?

Merlin:
Usually I find the noise of women's screams and shattering glass quite restful, but today for some reason it takes me adversely.

Sybil:
I'm sorry, Uncle Merlin, there's been another threatening note!

Merlin:
Well, at least we are being well-supplied with reading matter.

[King Arthur, Sir Lancelot and Sybil join a party already in progress]

King Arthur:
I think I see a young man approaching - several young men. Do you think we are in danger, Lancelot?

Sir Lancelot du Lac:
Put your trust in Sybil, my lord. She'll break their hearts faster than you or I could draw a sword.
