A Lesson in Vengeance (2012)

Giles New: Guard

Quotes 

• Guard : Who are you?

  Merlin : [Old Merlin]  What kind of a damn fool question is that? I am who I am and I am who I was and I am who I will always be.

  Guard : That's no answer.

  Merlin : [Old Merlin]  What other answer is there? It's the only answer worth giving.

  Guard : What are you doing here?

  Merlin : [Old Merlin]  Incredible. You follow one idiot question with another.

  [He points toward the cells] 

  Merlin : I'm visiting the cells, as you perfectly well know.

  Guard : No, you're not. Not unless we say so, you're not.

  Merlin : [Old Merlin]  But you already said so. Only ten minutes ago you said so. You said so and I do so!

  Guard : No, we didn't.

  Merlin : [Old Merlin]  What on earth is wrong with you? Something interesting in your tea, is there? It's hardly any wonder your prisoners are being murdered if you can't even remember who you're letting in and who you're letting out. You let me in! And I thank you for that. And now, apparently I have to let myself out. Ah! Goodbye!
