— Merlin! What are you doing?
— I'm like a swan. It seems I'm not doing anything but there's a lot of work going on underneath.
— You know, if Morgana doesn't kill you, I will.
— Threatening your king is treason, Merlin.
— How about threatening an ass?
— Heard that!
— Merlin, is there anything you are actually capable of doing?
— Putting up with you.
— You don't know how many times I've saved your life.
— If I ever become king I'll have you made you court jester.

— Merlin, I've always known you were stupid, but not that stupid.
— No, really, I'm that stupid. And if you don't believe me, watch.
