Garna : Master! Master! Master Pendragon!
Pendragon : What happened?
Garna : Calamity, O Prince. Most faithful disaster.
Pendragon : The princess, where is she?
Garna : Cormoran is dead, slain by a young farmer. By now, the princess is back in her father's castle.
Pendragon : Impossible, you're lying!
Garna : I tell the truth, master, I swear it. He took her from me at the boat, and then kill the giant. I saw him with my own eyes.
Pendragon : Blundering fool! A fury take you to your torments, all of you!
[his hands pushes Garna's face]
Pendragon : I scheme a thousand nights, put the princess in your very hands and you, imbecile, idiot, allow a mere farmer, a mere mortal to defy me!
Garna : We have failed, master, we have failed.
Pendragon : But only for a moment. I shall have the princess and the farmer shall die. By all the powers of darkness, he shall die!

[Pendragon uses the cloak and making him vanished]
Pendragon : One week, King Mark. No more.

Pendragon : Welcome to Castle Pendragon.
Jack : I had a sample of your welcome outside.
Pendragon : I must compliment you on your valor, young man. First you vanquish Cormoran, my giant, then you found your way to this island - a feat in itself. Just now you lashed out and destroyed my dragon men with your magic whip - a stroke of genius! A real tragedy to have come so far only to suffer failure.
-
Pendragon : If you take one step towards me, horns will sprout from your head. A second step and you will develop cloven hooves and walk on all fours. A third step and the transformation will be complete - you will have become a black ram. So, you see...
Imp : Your sword can be an antidote to growing a cashmere coat. Hold it before you as you go, hilt above and point below.
-
Pendragon : I'm afraid you were not sufficiently impressed on your first visit. I'll give you a new demonstration of my powers.

[Pendragon sees that the bag is empty, because a bottle of Imp is vanished]
Pendragon : Your Imp stands between me and the throne of Cornwall... Where is it?
Jack : You have great magic powers, find him yourself.
Pendragon : Yes. I will.
[slaps him with a bag]
Pendragon : Only twice in my existence I have been thwarted, once by Herla the wizard, and this second time by you. Herla is dead.
Jack : Yes, and I will die too, rather than betray my king.
Pendragon : I shall hope to make you change your mind.

[He unrolls the paper and sees the message about sailing]
Pendragon : She sails with the morning tide.
[turns to Tubo]
Pendragon : What kind of a voyage is it to be, eh, Tubo? Smooth and tranquil?
