MERLIN quotes from Transformers: The Last Knight (2017)

Your magician Merlin cannot help us. We’re outnumbered 100 to 1. How are we going to get out of this?

He promised a weapon: one of great power.

Arthur, you are my king, and I would lay down my life for you; but this Merlin is no wizard.

He’s a worthless drunkard.

Magic does exist. It was found, long ago, inside a crashed alien ship.

MERLIN

Hello? Hello! It is I, Merlin! Conjurer of spirits! Master of the magic arts! Is anyone there? (takes a drink from a flask at his belt) It is I, Merlin. The wizard! Remember me?

MERLIN

No! I kept your secret! Just as I promised! I told no one of your existence; no one! But you have to understand: we Britons are in a desperate fight. End-of-times sort of thing. I mean it. It’s happening down there now, as we speak. It’s awful! Big personalities just sort of clashing, all bloody. I hate to ask, but we need your help. But if I could, for one moment, change this world for the better, I would give up everything; everything! Money, drink;–– drinking-money. Look: good men will die without your help. Women. Children. I know your world was destroyed. I’m sorry. But please, don’t let ours die, too. I beg of you.

Guardian Knights: transform! The Dragon is yours to command.

MERLIN

O, yes. That would be just the thing. (accepts the staff)

Protect this staff. One day a great evil will come for it.
