- Armus Grey: We have to return eventually.
- Eleanor Grey: And meet Lady Elizabeth's children? My heart races with anticipation.
- Richard Grey: You know how important it is to father to make a good impression.
- Eleanor Grey: He wants us to be one happy family... no matter how miserable it is. You can't put on a good face to that.
- Richard Grey: Not everything in life is elective, you know, Eleanor. Sometimes you have to do things just because you have to, that's all.
- Eleanor Grey: I'll try to remember that, Richard. It's very profound.
- Richard Grey: Haven't we met somewhere?
- Waitress: No, I don't think so.
- Richard Grey: Why not?
- Waitress: I don't know. Maybe you're like the other knights - you only have eyes for your horse.
- Richard Grey: Actually, my horse is very broad-minded. It doesn't mind my wandering eye.
- Waitress: [to Eleanor] I'll be back with your food and a bucket of cold water to cool down your friend.
- [Humphrey, a known teller of tall tales, tells the Greys of a plot to assassinate the king]
- Eleanor Grey: What if he is telling the truth?
- Richard Grey: What if it rains emeralds? There are certain things in life you need not question, dear sister.
- Eleanor Grey: Perhaps, but we're talking about the king's life. We can at least consider the possibility.
- Richard Grey: And do what? Journey to Arondale and warn the king on the word of the village idiot?
- Eleanor Grey: The truth is the truth, even if it does come from the village idiot. I suppose we can go home and meet Lady Elizabeth's children, but bear in mind two words - lute recital.
- Humphrey: Eleanor, if I should die, know this - I've always loved you.
- Eleanor Grey: Loved me? We just met this morning.
- Humphrey: Ah, but time is irrelevant when love is eternal.
- Eleanor Grey: That's sweet, Humphrey... far-fetched, but sweet.
- Mother Superior: [to Cedric] The men who send their daughters to the Lady of the Green do so because they trust we will educate them and protect their virtue and they have empowered me to go to any lengths - any lengths at all - to uphold that trust and I do so... ruthlessly. It would be in your best interest to get well soon, young man.
- Cedric Grey: You're late. I was worried you were having doubt. Come here.
- [Cedric turns and sees, not one of the young convent girls, but Mother Superior]
- Mother Superior: Don't be alarmed, dear boy. I haven't come here to harm you.
- Cedric Grey: I was just, ah...
- Mother Superior: Shh. Shh. Please, sit down. I've wanted you from the very moment I first laid eyes on you.
- Cedric Grey: You have?
- Mother Superior: Yes! I want to devour you. Hours of delicious love-making. Not just a night, but every night!
- Cedric Grey: Now when you say "every night", does that include King's holidays?
- Mother Superior: Oh, take me, Cedric!
- [Cedric bolts through the second-floor window and crashes to the convent's grounds below]
- Robin: Mother Mary Catherine!
- Mother Superior: Are you lost, dear?
- Robin: No. I came to check on the sick boy to see if he needed anything.
- Mother Superior: He's gone, my dear. Seems he had the most amazing recovery.
- [Humphrey points out the man he was told would assassinate the king]
- Armus Grey: The Duke of Arondale - brother to the King.
- Humphrey: And my brother thinks *I'm* a disappointment.
- Richard Grey: What's the matter?
- Humphrey: What if I fail? What if I'm a coward? The king could die.
- Richard Grey: When the crucial moment comes, you'll make your decision without thinking. Only then will you know if you're a coward... or a hero.
- [last lines]
- [Humphrey was mortally wounded while saving the King from assassination]
- Armus Grey: Perhaps you could knight him now.
- King Edward: But... the boy is dying.
- Armus Grey: Please, your majesty. Let this poor unfortunate soul face God as a knight.
- [King Edward nods and draws his sword]
- King Edward: I, Edward, King of England, hereby do dub thee Sir Humphrey of... of...
- Armus Grey: ...Turnbull...
- King Edward: ...Humphrey of Turnbull - Knight of the Realm and into the most illustrious Order of the Garter.
