- Prince Valiant: Well done, Rowanne. In fact, yours was the closest of all.
- Rowenne: You sound surprised, Valiant. As if I never win.
- Arn: It's more like you never lose.
- Prince Valiant: And I, for one, am beginning to be bored by it.
- Rowenne: What was that, my narrow-minded prince?
- Merlin: Valiant, come with me.
- Prince Valiant: [bowing] Alas, duty calls.
- Rowenne: Let's hope it doesn't call for much skill with a blade.
- Merlin: We can be honest with each other. Valiant is not the only one who has no love for Duncan.
- King Arthur: It is not those who lack compassion for him that worry me.
- Queen Guinevere: Your crime was an accident.
- Baron Duncan Draconarius: True. But the man I was when I committed that crime would have murdered deliberately if he'd felt the need. Oh, Guinevere, I've been such a fool for so many years.
- Queen Guinevere: But you've changed, have you not, Duncan? You are not the man you were.
- Baron Duncan Draconarius: I hope not. I only pray that I have the strength to remain... changed.
- Merlin: There is much in life that is open to change, Valiant, if men of courage and vision are wiling to risk their courage and well-being to do so.
- Merlin: When you arrive in Kengarry, you could try to make Ian see things differently. To find a way other than death in which Duncan could pay for his crime.
- Prince Valiant: Ah, that is an almost-impossible task, Merlin.
- Merlin: It could be. If I were suggesting it to a less extraordinary man.
- King Ian: [sighing] Oh, Derrick. You would have found a way, other than violence and bloodshed. My God, how I miss you.
- Merlin: You cannot temper steel without fire, Arthur.
- King Arthur: True, Merlin, but even steel can be consumed if the fire burns hot enough.
- Baron Duncan Draconarius: [being pursued where he stands on a crumbling stone ledge] Whatever happens, Valiant, I shall probably never leave Kengarry alive. I have nothing to regret and certainly nothing to lose. On the other hand, you, my young friend, Have a full life ahead of you. I suggest you reconsider you actions.
- Baron Duncan Draconarius: You're the one with the sword.
- Prince Valiant: You would be wise to remember that.
- Baron Duncan Draconarius: This has to be attended to.
- Prince Valiant: No. We must continue on.
- Baron Duncan Draconarius: You're burning with fever. You'll never make it.
- Prince Valiant: We... continue... on.
- [faints]
- Baron Duncan Draconarius: I'm afraid you're not going anywhere, my young prince.
- Prince Valiant: You could have escaped, Duncan. Why did you come back?
- Baron Duncan Draconarius: I might have escaped *you*, Valiant. But I could never escape the memory of what I saw in that cottage.
- [of the handcuffs]
- Baron Duncan Draconarius: These will bind my wrists. But not as strongly as the chains of remorse which bind my heart.
- Prince Valiant: I too lost my birthright, Duncan. But I've learned to make the best of it. To do otherwise would allow bitterness and hatred to consume me.
- Baron Duncan Draconarius: [disguised as monks] Valiant, you're mad. We can't just walk in there.
- Prince Valiant: Brother Duncan, you are a man of little faith.
- Prince Valiant: Tread carefully, Duncan. Every man in this camp would like nothing better than to kill you.
- Baron Duncan Draconarius: How reassuring.
- King Ian: My people thought I was a hero. And I too believed it was so. Then Derrick died. He was the one who held this realm together. Without him, no matter what I have tried, everything has fallen to pieces.
- Malcolm Monroe: If I die, know that another Monroe will be back, Ian! Sword in hand!
- Baron Duncan Draconarius: And should King Ian dies, another Coghane will just rise up again in his place.
- Baron Duncan Draconarius: I freely admit to killing Derrick of the Monroes. I also tell you that his death an accident. But if it will bring peace to this kingdom, I surrender myself to you. To... death, if necessary. I do this because I no longer believe in violence and rule by the sword. I do it because it is right, and because I believe in the New Order. The way of King Arthur and Camelot. It is time for the fighting to stop, is it not?
- Baron Duncan Draconarius: After ripping this kingdom apart, the least I can do is spend my days working to keep it whole. And perhaps helping to bring it closer to Camelot.
- [last lines]
- Baron Duncan Draconarius: [shaking his hand] I'm going to miss you, Valiant.
- Prince Valiant: This is a good thing. You have been given a new life, Duncan.
- Baron Duncan Draconarius: Yes. And I shall make the best of it.
- Prince Valiant: I believe you will. I believe you will.
