Quotes 

• Perceval : [holding the Grail to Arthur's lips]  You and the land are one. Drink.

  Arthur : I am wasting away. I cannot die. I cannot live.

  Perceval : Drink from the chalice and you will be reborn, and the land with you.

  Arthur : [drinks]  Perceval... I didn't know how empty was my soul... until it was filled.

  Kay : [Upon seeing Arthur cured]  Arthur.

  Arthur : [Speaking to Kay]  Ready my knights for battle. They will ride with their King once more. I've lived through others far too long. Lancelot carried my honor, and Guinevere, my guilt. Mordred bore my sins. My Knight have fought my causes. Now my brother, I shall be... King!

• Arthur : [Arthur is dying]  Perceval, take Excalibur. Find a pool of calm water. Throw the sword into it.

  Perceval : No!

  Arthur : Obey me, Perceval. Do it, and return.

  Arthur : [Perceval returns after not throwing the sword in]  When you cast it in, what did you see?

  Perceval : I saw nothing but the wind on the water. My King, I couldn't do it! Excalibur cannot be lost! Other men...

  Arthur : DO... as I command! One day, a King will come, and the Sword will rise... again.

• Grail Figure : What is the secret of the Grail? Who does it serve?

  Perceval : You, my lord.

  Grail Figure : Who am I?

  Perceval : You are my lord and king. You are Arthur.

  Grail Figure : Have you found the secret that I have lost?

  Perceval : Yes. You and the land are one.

• Perceval : I can't give up hope, Lancelot. It's all I have.

• Boy Mordred : You seek what Arthur wants? That thing they call the Grail?

  Perceval : I do.

  Boy Mordred : Then follow me.

  [Mordred leads him to the tree where the decomposing bodies of some of the other quest knights are] 

  Boy Mordred : They were looking for it too. But they weren't good enough.

• Perceval : Lancelot help us! Come back to us! Arthur needs you! Lancelot!
