Camelot
The Dilemma of Guinevere
Pellinore Forgive the interruption. Anyone here seen a beast with the head of a serpent, the body of a boar and the tail of a lion, baying like forty hounds?
Mordred What a magnificent dilemma! Let her die, your life is over; let her live, your life's a fraud. Which will it be, Arthur? Do you kill the Queen or kill the law?
[to Arthur about Guenevere]
Company Guinevere, Guinevere.In that dim, mournful yearSaw the men she held so dearGo to war for Guinevere.
[singing]
Company Guinevere, GuinevereOh, they found GuinevereIn the dying candle's gleamCame the sundown of a dream.
[singing]

Advice on Redemption and Self-Improvement
King Arthur Far more seasoned rascals than you have polished their souls, I advise you, get out the wax. Better to be rubbed clean than rubbed out.

Hypothetical Accusations in a Royal Discussion
Arthur Let us say you are accused of burning down a farm.
Pellinore Whose?
Arthur Er...let us say, a farmer named...William?
Pellinore Well, can't see it happening, but get along.
Arthur Now, Pelly, you claim you haven't. What does he do then?
Pellinore Well, he keeps his mouth shut if he knows what's good for him!
Arthur No, Pellinore. He takes you to court.
Pellinore Ah! And we fight there!
Arthur No, Pellinore. Look, in the court, there is a prosecutor for Farmer William and a defendant for you.
Pellinore Oh, I see! I see! And they fight!
Arthur No. In the court there is also a jury, who decides whether you are guilty or not guilty.
Pellinore Well, what's the jury got to do with it? None of their damn business in the first place! Any jury finds me guilty, I'll have a whack at every last one of em!
Arthur Then you'd be charged with murder, Pelly!
Pellinore Well, the ruddy thing's endless! Another jury finds me guilty, and I'll have to have a whack at them! And so on and so on, and whacking and whacking--
Arthur Oh, Pellinore, forget it! You will never burn down a barn, you will never know a farmer named William and you will never, ever, be found in a court!
Pellinore Not without my ruddy sword I won't!

Camelot
The Burden of Love and Vengeance
King Arthur I love them and they answer me with pain and torment. Be it sin or not sin, they betray me in their hearts and that's far sin enough. I can feel it in their eyes, I can feel it when they speak, and they must pay for it and be punished. I shall not be wounded and not return it in kind! I'm through with feeble hoping! I demand a man's vengeance! Proposition: I'm a king, not a man. And a civilized king. Could it possibly be civilized to destroy what I love? Could it possibly be civilized to love myself above all? What of their pain and their torment? Did they ask for this calamity? Can passion be selected?

The Sparkle Among the Drops
Pellinore Who is that, Arthur?
Arthur One of what we all are, Pelly. Less than a drop in the great blue motion of the sunlit sea. But it seems some of the drops sparkle, Pelly. Some of them do sparkle! Run, boy!

A Call for Action and Honor
Arthur We must arrange for your knighthood.
Lancelot No, sire! Invest me because of deeds, not words! Give me an order!
Arthur Now?
Lancelot This moment! Is there some wrong I can right, some peril I can face, some quest I can undertake?
Arthur Well... actually... there's not much going on today. The Queen and some of her court have gone a-maying.
Lancelot Gone... a-maying?
Arthur Well, it's a sort of... um... picnic? They pick flowers and chase young...
Lancelot Picnic?
Arthur It's a custom we have here. This is England, you know. And this is the season for gathering flowers.
Lancelot Knights? Gathering FLOWERS?
Arthur Well, SOMEONE has to do it!

Camelot
The Burden of Being a Fanatic
Lancelot I am irritating. I always will be. All fanatics are bores, Pellinore, and I'm a fanatic. Even when I was a child I irritated the other children. I wanted to play their games, but I knew I could not. Even then I was filled with a sense of divine purpose. I'm not saying I enjoy it. All my life I've locked the world out. And, you know, when you lock the world out, you're locked in.

A Plea for Trust and Understanding
Arthur A thousand pardons, Milady. Wait! Don't run. Please! I won't harm you.
[She stops and looks at him coweringly]
Guenevere You lie! You'll leap at me and throw me to the ground.
Arthur I won't do any such thing.
[He takes a step toward her. She takes a step backwards. He stops]
Guenevere Then you'll twist my arm and tie me to a tree.
Arthur But I won't.
Guinevere Then you'll sling me over your shoulder and carry me off.
Arthur No, no, no! I swear it! By the Sword Excalibur! I swear I won't touch you.
Guinevere Why not? How dare you insult me in this fashion. Do my looks repel you?
[Hurt; Sudden rage]
Arthur No. You're beautiful.
Guinevere Well, then? We're alone. I'm completely defenseless. What kind of a cad are you? Apologize at once.

The Unfulfilled Longing for Maidenhood
Guinevere Just when I reach the golden age of eligibility and wooability. Is my fate determined by love and courtship? Oh, no. Clause one: fix the border; Clause two: establish trade; Clause three: deliver me; Clause four: stop the war; five, six: pick up sticks. How cruel! How unjust! Am I never to know the joys of maidenhood? The conventional, ordinary, garden variety joys of maidenhood?
