Ben Cross Quotes
A King's Final Command to His People
Arthur: [thrusts sword onto the ground; kneels but suddenly rises with sword; everybody is surprised and Malagant's men draw swords too; gets shot by several crossbow bolts; loses sword]
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-
Guinevere:
NO!!!
Arthur: [as the knights get him out of danger; the citizens and knights start attacking Malagant's troops]
CAMELOT LIVES!!!!
Malagant:
BURN IT! BURN EVERYTHING!

Palace Encounter and Miscommunication of Orders
Malagant: [bows mockingly; draws a dagger]
Welcome to my palace, my lady. I think we can release the lady from her bonds. If she so wishes.
Malagant:
What's this? Your dress is torn. Ralf?
Ralf:
Yes, my prince?
Malagant:
I gave orders that the lady was not to be harmed.
Ralf: [Malagant backhands him, knocking him to the floor]
But my prince, I didn't --
Malagant: [inspects Guinevere's dress; rips it off, leaving her in her undergown]
Your dress is quite spoiled, my lady. You're almost... a queen. Ralf?
Ralf:
My prince?
Malagant:
Did you do this?
Ralf: [resignedly; Guinevere looks at him in disbelief]
Yes, my prince.
Malagant: [claps his hands with a shout, and several men approach; he chuckles]
You see? This is what Arthur doesn't understand. Men don't want brotherhood. They want leadership. Shall we?
