Reflections on Sacrifice and Unity
Gilbert of Glockspur
(at the end) And in the days following Draco's sacrifice, Bowen and Kara led the people in a time of justice and brotherhood. As I remember it now, those were golden years, warmed by an unworldly light. And when things became the most difficult, Draco's star shone more brightly, for all of us who knew where to look!

Wisdom on Trust and Perception of Dragons
Draco
You should never listen to minstrels fancies. A dragon would never hurt a soul, unless they tried to hurt him first.

Naming a Friendship
Draco
Have you been watching over me all night?
Bowen
I've been thinking.
Draco
Yes? About what?
Bowen
Many things. Mostly about what to call you. I think I've found you a name.
Draco
You say that as though you reached up and plucked it from the sky.
Bowen
I did. Up there. Do you see that group of stars? (points at the Draco constellation)
Draco
I know those stars very well.
Bowen
Do you see the shape that they make?
Draco
Mm-hmm, a dragon.
Bowen
Yes. They call it Draco. It means "dragon" in the scholars speech.
Draco
(chuckling) So instead of calling me "dragon" in your tongue, you'll call me "dragon" in some other tongue?
Bowen
You're right, it's silly.
Draco
No! No, I would be honored to be named after those stars. I... I truly would. Thank you, Bowen. "Draco"...

The Code of a True Knight
Bowen
A knight is sworn to valor. His heart knows only virtue. His blade defends the helpless. His might upholds the weak. His word speaks only truth. His wrath undoes the wicked.

Draco's Warning to the Knights
Draco
(flings a knight's corpse at Bowen and Gilbert) That's all that's left of the last dragon-slayer who tangled with me! If I were you, I'd quit while I was ahead!

Dueling Titans Under the Moonlight
Gilbert of Glockspur
(during Bowen and Draco's stalemate) Into the moonlit night the titans dueled, in mortal combat bound. Oh, who'd the fatal false step make? Whose blood would stain the ground? (yawns)

Confronting Hatred and Regret in DragonHeart
Draco
(notices the dragon teeth attached to Bowen's shield) You must have hated us very much.
Bowen
I hated one of you. These I killed because I wanted to kill him. But I never found him. And I never will; if you're the last, he must be dead.
Draco
(smiling awkwardly) Oh, yes. Tell me - what was he like, this, uh, dragon that you hated?
Bowen
He only had half a heart. But even that was enough to pollute an innocent boy.
Draco
(suddenly angry) Einon was no innocent! He polluted the heart!
Bowen
How do you know that?! How do you know that, dragon?
Draco
(scratches his head evasively) All dragons know that story! What was to be their hope became their doom! A spoiled, ungrateful child was given a great gift and destroyed it!
Bowen
No! I knew Einon. I was his teacher. I taught him the ways of honor, of right.
Draco
Then he betrayed you, just as he betrayed the dragon whose heart he broke.
Bowen
That's a lie, dragon!
Draco
STOP CALLING ME "DRAGON"! I have a name!
Bowen
(after a short silence) Well, what is it?
Draco
Huh. You couldn't possibly pronounce it in your tongue.
Bowen
(smirking) Try me!
Draco
It's-- (suddenly roars in pain and clutches at his shoulder; in Einon's castle, Kara has stabbed him)

The Ethics of Dragon Hunting and Survival
Draco
Why must you knight errants, out to make a name for yourselves, always pick on us dragons?
Bowen
I don't need a name! And I've got a collection of my own!
Draco
You're one who kills dragons for money.
[snorts in disgust]
Bowen
It's honest enough work! One must earn a living!
Draco
Oh yes, one must live. Well, since you seek a profit, we might as well begin.
Bowen
Oh, don't flatter yourself! It's not the profit, it's the pleasure!
Draco
Perhaps less pleasurable and more costly than you think!

Conflict Over Sacrifice and Loyalty
Draco
Who's the girl?
Bowen
A nuisance! Get rid of her!
Draco
Why?
Bowen
They're trying to placate you with a sacrifice.
Draco
(sarcastically) Oh, now whoever gave them that bright idea?
Bowen
Never mind! Just get rid of her!
Draco
How?
Bowen
Eat her!
Draco
Oh, please. Yuck!
Bowen
Aren't we squeamish? You ate Sir Eglamore, hypocrite!
Draco
I merely chewed in self-defense, but I never swallowed.
Bowen
Improvise!
Draco
All right, all right!

Desire for Peace Over Conflict
Draco
I don't want to kill you, I never did! And I don't want you to kill me! How do we gain? If you win, you lose a trade. If I win, I wait around for the next sword-slinger thirsting to carve a reputation out of my hide. I'm tired of lurking in holes and skulking in darkness. I'm gonna let you up now. And if you insist, we can pursue this fracas to its final stupidity. Or... you can listen to my alternative.

Conflicting Beliefs in a Heated Exchange
Einon
Lay down, Bowen! You're the sad remains of dead systems and dead beliefs!
Bowen
They were your beliefs!
Einon
Never! Never mine!
Bowen
But... you spoke the words...you spoke them from your heart!
[heartbroken]
Einon
I vomited them up because I couldn't stomach them! Because I knew it was what you wanted to hear!
Bowen
Lies! Liar! I taught you!
Einon
You taught me to fight, that's all! I took what I needed from you. You taught me to fight! You taught me well.

The Sacrifice of a Dragon's Legacy
Draco
Long ago, when man was young and the dragon already old, the wisest of our race took ] on man. He gathered together all the dragons, making them vow to watch over man, always. And at the moment of his ], the ] became alive with those ]s. And thus was born the Dragons Heaven. But when we die, not all dragons are admitted to this shining place. No, we have to earn it. And if we don't, our spirit disappears as if we never were. And that's why I shared my life force with a dying boy - so I would reunite man and dragon, and ensure my place among my ancient brothers of the sky. But... my sacrifice became my sin.

The Uncommon Traits of a Dragon
Kara
You have a beautiful voice.

Well, you're not like a dragon at all.
Draco
Well, how many dragons do you know?
Kara
Well, you're the first.
Draco
You should never listen to minstrels fancies. A dragon would never hurt a soul, unless they tried to hurt him first.

The Weight of Memories and Honor
Bowen
What does a dragon know of the Old Code, anyway?
Draco
His blade defends the helpless. His might upholds the weak. His word speaks only truth.
Bowen
Shut up. I remember. That's all it is, a memory. Nothing can bring it back.
Draco
You sound like one who tried.
Bowen
And failed. So I no longer try to change the world, dragon, I just try to get by in it.
Draco
Yes, well, it's better than death, I suppose.
Bowen
Oh, is it? I should think you'd welcome death. You know, the last of your kind, all your friends dead, hunted wherever you go...
Draco
Do you delight in reminding me? Yes, knight, I do long for death... but fear it.
Bowen
Why? Aside from your misery, what's to lose?
Draco
My soul.

Times have not been kind to you, Bowen. You should have never broke with me.

Einon
And yet, you returned to me with this girl I lost.
Bowen

Einon
Not her decision, I'm afraid! I'm ready for my lesson now, knight!

The Battle of Fate and Survival
Gilbert of Glockspur
The sword against the fang and claw. The flame against shield. Blah, blah, blah, which one would win? Blah, blah, field, shield, wield. Whose flesh from bones would be peeled. Oh, no. Whose fate would soon be sealed. Whose fate would soon be sealed? Whose fate would soon be sealed?
