Olga That's a woman's sound.
Do that again and you'll make it.
Olga You'll live.
Olga You complain much.
Olga Cow urine.
Cow urine?
Olga Boiled down.
No, no. Don't put that filth on me. Water, clean water.
Olga As you wish. Tomorrow the pus will run, and you'll have a fever. [Ahmed relents and lets her put it on]
Have we anything resembling a plan?
Mm-hm. Ride till we find them... and kill them all.
'Lo, there do I see my father. 'Lo, there do I see--
--my mother, and my sisters...
and my brothers.
'Lo, there do I see the line--
Edgtho the Silent --of my people, back to the beginning.
Weath the Musician 'Lo, they do call to me.
They bid me take my place among them.
In the halls of Valhalla...
Where the brave...
May live...
...forever.
I have only these hands. I will die a pauper.
King Hrothgar You will be buried as a king.
A man might be thought wealthy if someone were to... draw the story of his deeds. That they may be remembered.
[Olga looks meaningfully at Ahmed, who already understands what Buliwyf is asking.]
Such a man might be thought wealthy indeed.
You can draw sounds?
"Draw sounds"? [realizing] Yes, I can draw sounds... and I can speak them back.
Show me.
[Ahmed looks at what Buliwyf has written and comprehends what he is after]
"There is only one God, and Mohammad [corrects Buliwyf's writing] is his prophet.
[Buliwyf nods and walks off.]
We shall make prayers for your safe passage!
Prayers to who?
In your land, one God is perhaps enough, but we have need of many! I will pray to all of them for you! Do not be offended!
I will be in your debt!
Good bye, Arab!
Good bye, Northman.
Skeld the Superstitious Blowhards, the both of you. She probably was some smoke-colored camp girl. [points to Ahmed] Looked like that one's mother. [laughter]
[calmly]
My mother ... was a pure woman, from a noble family. And I, at least, know who my father is, you... pig-eating son of a whore.
[Skeld charges at Ahmed, but Herger stops him and confronts the Arab.]
How? How did you learn our language?
I listened!
Wigliff - Kings Son
[Speaking of Buliwyf]
This gentleman has the look of a great warrior; no doubt he's very brave. But to face the Wendo, he'll need some amazing luck.
Luck often enough, will save a man, if his courage hold.
Wigliff (King's son) That maybe, but wait for the Wendo one night's time, and then talk to us of courage.
I thank the lord for his advice, though I don't recall hearing any exploits of his apart from killing his brothers.
Weath the Musician [Ahmed Ibn Fadlan reforges his Norse longsword into the more familiar scimitar.]
Give an Arab a sword, he makes a knife!
Ahmed Ibn Fadlan
[chops a stake with a single stroke]
It works.
Weath the Musician [Ahmed Ibn Fadlan displays a skillful handling of the blade, throwing it in the air, catching it and pointing it at Weath's throat.] [Not even blinking]
When you die, can I give that to me daughter?
[Herger kills one of the Prince's henchmen in a sham duel.]
You! You could have killed him at will!
Yes?
Well, why the deception?
Deception is the point! Any fool can calculate strength. That one has been doing it since we arrived. Now he has to calculate what he can't see.
And fear... what he doesn't know. [Herger makes a head-smacking gesture]
As you say, foolish. And expensive. We will miss Angus tonight; we will miss his sword.
[Herger proffers a drinking horn containing mead.]
I cannot...taste neither the fermentation of grape nor of wheat. [Herger laughs] What? Why do you laugh?
[The Viking band is seemingly trapped in the Wendol caves.] [observing more Wendol warriors arriving]
A hard fight to get clear of here...
