Quotes 

• Pendragon : A pity to shatter your innocent dreams, Princess Elaine, but the throne of Cornwall is to be mine and only you can give it to me.

• 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 : Oh Isis, keeper of the magic flame, behold thy shrouded minions, demons of the dark, assembled to prepare before the altar of thy eternal flame a neophyte to serve thee in thy mystic labyrinth.

• Pendragon : You have one choice to make, King Mark: Your daughter or your throne. In a week, I shall return for your answer.

  King Mark : You hold my daughter, witch. But, we held you!

  [to his guards] 

  King Mark : Seize him!

  [Pendragon uses the cloak and making him vanished] 

  Pendragon : One week, King Mark. No more.

  [cackling] 

• 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.

• Jack : How do I know I can trust you?

  Pendragon : [held at swordpoint]  Aren't we rather forced to trust each other?

• 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.

• [a black bird arriving in Pendragon's castle. Garna is holding a black bird named Gaunt, running to Pendragon and the witches] 

  Garna : Master! Black Prince! Look, it has come from the castle!

  Pendragon : So, you decided to visit us, eh, Gaunt? Bringing a little present.

  [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?

  [Tubo and the witches laughing]
