Quotes
-
Uther Pendragon : Arthur! It is an exciting day.
Arthur : The arrival of Lord Godwin is always a cause for celebration.
Uther Pendragon : And Princess Helena.
Arthur : Yes.
Uther Pendragon : I hear she's something of a beauty.
Arthur : [disdainfully] Really.
Uther Pendragon : Oh, yes. Beautiful, charming, witty, strategic.
Arthur : Strategic?
Uther Pendragon : I have always thought so. W-we have always thought so. That is, Lord Godwin and myself. That is, he finds you strategic, not Princess Helena.
Arthur : He finds me... "strategic?"
Uther Pendragon : Oh, yes.
Arthur : And "beautiful?"
[Lord Godwin and Helena enter]
Arthur : Father, what are you trying to say?
Uther Pendragon : Godwin is a serious ally. The strength of such a match cannot be underestimated.
Arthur : Please tell me you mean a jousting match.
Uther Pendragon : I mean a love match.
Arthur : Love?
Uther Pendragon : Not love. Love has nothing to do with it. The-the other bit. You know... about the permanent union.
Arthur : Marriage?
Uther Pendragon : I knew you would understand.
