5 quotes Arthur Arthur I see you’re trying to get me to do something razzle-dazzle with that sword. I'm not getting drawn into this mess. There's an army of you, there's only one of me. I've talked, I'm happy to talk, but there is no way... that I am fighting.
Arthur It should be clear by now that whatever you and your friends think I am, I am not it.
Arthur It's quite dangerous being one of you lot, isn't it? You're good with animals, aren't you? They have a word for that, don't they? Mage... I thought your team was outlawed. Never met one of you in the flesh. I thought you'd be taller... and have a beard.
Arthur No, I mean I’m sorry. You’ve made a mistake. You’re no longer dealing with the man you previously met. You are addressing England and all the subjects under her king’s protection. So you have a choice. You can now kneel to England… Or I’ll step off this throne and you can deal with me as the man you previously met.

Arthur But doesn't it make the palace burn well?
Goosefat Bill Leave him with me, boss.
Arthur Put your ring back on honey-tits, you haven't had enough porridge this morning to talk like that. And if you want that sword so much, your lordship, you can keep it... to peel your grapes.
Goosefat Bill [slap]
Now, that would have hurt a lot more if I'd left the ring on.
Goosefat Bill You've made quite a celebrity of yourself among the Blackleg ranks.
You've done very nicely on the back of your cozy relationship with your King's men.
Arthur I'm a little old for finger-wagging and speeches. So unless you're my dad, which... I believe is unlikely, can you just get around to telling me exactly what it is you want?
Pick it up. Pick it up with both hands.
Arthur YOU pick it up.
Arthur So what happens now?
You know what happens now. You're quickly becoming a legend.
You and I have a lot more in common than you think. It's not just the same blood we share, but also the same interests. We both developed a palate for power.
Arthur I've never had any power, or any desire to achieve it. Sire, I could simply drift away never to be seen again.
As much as I would like to believe you, your character makes that unlikely.
