Colin Morgan: Merlin

Quotes 

• Arthur : So your great plan is to kill me.

  Merlin : No! Well, yes. Not exactly. Gaius has made a potion that gives the appearance of death without the actual dying bit. It's fine. There's nothing to worry about. It will only bring you to the brink of death.

  Arthur : Oh, only to the brink.

  Merlin : We haven't got a choice.

  Gaius : We have to make your father cry.

  Arthur : He doesn't care about me anymore.

  Gaius : Nonsense. That's Catrina's influence. I've known your father for many, many years. There's never been anyone or anything he has treasured more than you. It's perfectly safe. A single drop of the antidote will reverse the effects immediately.

  Arthur : Antidote? What antidote? You didn't say anything about an antidote!

  Merlin : I didn't think it was important.

  Gaius : The potion will lower your heart rate and breathing. For all intents and purposes, you will be dead.

  Arthur : And the antidote reverses the effects.

  Gaius : Yes. If it is administered in time.

  Arthur : If it isn't?

  Gaius : You will be dead.

  Arthur : You just said it wasn't important!

  Merlin : Um, yeah. I suppose it is a bit important.

  Gaius : Merlin will have the antidote. Once I have administered the poison, um the potion, you have half an hour to get it to him.

  Arthur : Don't be late.

  Merlin : Am I ever?
