• (Ioan Gruffudd) "I will die in battle; that I am certain of. But I hope to die in a battle of my choosing. But if it is to be this one, do not bury me in our sad little cemetery. Burn me, and cast my ashes to a strong eastern wind."

• (Ioan Gruffudd) "Arthur. This is not Rome's fight. It is not your fight. All these long years we've been together, the trials we've faced, the blood we've shed -- what was it all for if not for the reward of freedom. And now when we are so close, when it's finally within our grasp -- Look at me. Does it all count for nothing?"

• (Ioan Gruffudd) "By 300 AD, the Roman Empire extended from Arabia to Britain. But they wanted more. More land. More peoples loyal and subservient to Rome. But no people so important as the powerful Sarmatians to the east. Thousands died on that field. And when the smoke cleared on the fourth day, the only Sarmatian soldiers left alive were members of the decimated but legendary cavalry. The Romans, impressed by their bravery and horsemanship, spared their lives. In exchange, these warriors were incorporated into the Roman military. Better they had died that day."

• (Lancelot's Father) "The day has come."
• (Ioan Gruffudd) "-- but also their sons, and their sons, and so on, to serve the empire as knights. I was such a son."

• (Clive Owen) "Knights. The gift of freedom is yours by right. But the home we seek resides not in some distant land, it's in us, and in our actions on this day. If this be our destiny, then so be it. But let history remember, that as free men, we chose to make it so."

Deliver them from their trials ahead and I will pay You a thousandfold with any sacrifice You ask of me. And if in Your wisdom, You should determine that sacrifice must be my life for theirs, so that they can once again taste the freedom that has so long been denied to them, I will gladly make that covenant.
