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.
Herger the Joyous [Skeld charges at Ahmed, but Herger stops him and confronts the Arab.]
How? How did you learn our language?
I listened!
Herger the Joyous Grow stronger!
[Herger kills one of the Prince's henchmen in a sham duel.]
You! You could have killed him at will!
Herger the Joyous Yes?
Well, why the deception?
Herger the Joyous 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?
Herger the Joyous [still laughing]
Honey... It's made from honey!
Have we anything resembling a plan?
Herger the Joyous Mm-hm. Ride till we find them... and kill them all.
Herger the Joyous [With the Wendol pursuing, the Vikings attempt to swim under the Thunder Cliffs.]
The way we'll know is: if they don't follow us it's too far to swim!
'Lo, there do I see my father. 'Lo, there do I see--
Herger the Joyous --my mother, and my sisters...
and my brothers.
Herger the Joyous '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...
Herger the Joyous May live...
...forever.
Herger the Joyous We shall make prayers for your safe passage!
Prayers to who?
Herger the Joyous 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!
Herger the Joyous Good bye, Arab!
Good bye, Northman.
