Quotes from the movie Camelot
 1
The one thing I can say for him is that he's bound to marry well. Everybody is above him.
Guinevere


Just when I reach the golden age of eligibility and wooability. Is my fate determined by love and courtship? Oh, no. [Bitterly] Clause one: fix the border; Clause two: establish trade; Clause three: deliver me; Clause four: stop the war; five, six: pick up sticks. How cruel! How unjust! Am I never to know the joys of maidenhood? The conventional, ordinary, garden variety joys of maidenhood?
Guinevere


Oh, Pellinore, forget it! You will never burn down a barn, you will never know a farmer named William and you will never, ever be found in a court!
Arthur


No. In the court there is also a jury, who decides whether you are guilty or not guilty.
Arthur


No, Pellinore. Look, in the court, there is a prosecutor for Farmer William and a defendant for you.
Arthur


Er...let us say, a farmer named...William?
Arthur


Now, Pelly, you claim you haven't. What does he do then?
Arthur


Let us say you are accused of burning down a farm.
Arthur


Wrong or right, they have the might, so wrong or right, they're always right, and that's wrong... right?
Arthur


Well, SOMEONE has to do it!
Arthur


Well, it's a sort of... um... picnic? They pick flowers and chase young...
Arthur


It's a custom we have here. This is England, you know. And this is the season for gathering flowers.
Arthur


Well... actually... there's not much going on today. The Queen and some of her court have gone a-maying.
Arthur


But for what purpose? Might isn't always right, Jenny.
Arthur


We must arrange for your knighthood.
Arthur


No, no, no! I swear it! By the Sword Excalibur! I swear I won't touch you.
Arthur


A thousand pardons, Milady. Wait! Don't run. [She stops and looks at him coweringly] Please! I won't harm you.
Arthur


But even the thought, "I'm not thinking a thought" is thinking, isn't it?
Arthur


Mordred, I must remind you that I am a civilized man. With occasional lapses.
King Arthur


Far more seasoned rascals than you have polished their souls, I advise you, get out the wax. Better to be rubbed clean than rubbed out.
King Arthur


Merlyn, why have you never taught me love and marriage?
King Arthur


Proposition: It's far better to be alive than to be dead.
King Arthur


And -what of teaching me by turning me to animal and bird, From beaver to the smallest bobolink! I should have had a -whirl At changing to a girl, To learn the way the creatures think!
King Arthur


Merlyn told me once: Never be too disturbed if you don't understand what a woman is thinking. They don't do it often.
King Arthur


I dreamed ... I dreamed.
King Arthur
