LAMORAK : 

Sometimes, I wonder

if all this anger inside me is ever going to fade.

If I’ll ever be satisfied

with myself, or with others.

I resent myself for my failures

and others for their successes.

When Percival told me he wanted to be like Tristan and become his squire…

I was enraged.

I was so happy to see him again, to teach him everything I knew…

that to be so bluntly rejected only made me feel

like I wasn’t good enough. 

For the longest time, I hated Tristan for being good at everything

and making it look effortless.

But in the end…

It's myself I'm frustrated with.

I’m not strong enough.

I want to be the best, someone everybody can rely on, but…

Why?

Is it not enough to be a good knight?

Besides, my father was an excellent knight, but

when I think of him, I see a father, not a warrior. 

But unlike him, outside of knighthood,

I am nothing.

With this body I hate,

my life, that of a glory-seeking fool

always chasing after great deeds to tack onto my name.

Still, I remain in the shadow of my betters

and it's driving me crazy 

But…

NARRATION : 

“You know, being a good knight isn’t the same as being the strongest.”

“The chivalric code doesn't say you should vanquish every single thing that comes your way.”

“A good knight is one who sincerely wishes to bring justice where others have abused their power,

regardless of the scale of their actions or the glory they may get out of them.” 

"They fight for dignity in the name of the oppressed."

GIANTESS : 

What, is that it?

You were pretty fun up until now, but

for someone who’s beaten so many knights…

A little scratch, and you're already keeling over.

Pathetic.

…

I don’t even want to give you a good death.

Don’t feel too bad about it.

Your little friends probably pulled some cowardly moves to kill their own giants.

You made a brave attempt, at least, stupid as it was.

LAMORAK : 

...
( I’ve got to think about this,

and figure out a way to work with the ground shifting under⎯ )

… 

…You know,
Funny you should say that. Tristan killed giants, plural.

And among those he slew,

the giant of Ynys Môn, in Wales,

was killed with my help. 

In a way, that’s the only giant killing I can take credit for.

So believe me…

I’m ready to fix that mistake,

and add your death to my deeds.

For glory, but first and foremost

to avenge the humans you slaughtered just because you could.

If I croak here,

I’ll take you with me, and that's a promise.

KAY : 

Got it yet?

PERCIVAL : 

It’s still too high up!

KAY : 

You inherited your father’s stubby little arms.

Come on, try harder.

PERCIVAL : 

I’m trying my best! 

KAY : 

[annoyed]

We wouldn’t be here if Arthur had just listened to me.

“I’m not six anymore, Kay,” “I don’t need to wear my sword to my belt, Kay”!

Which one of us was right, huh?

PERCIVAL : 

I’m losing my balance!

KAY : 

Don’t be like him and listen to your brothers sometimes, hm?

You’ll thank them later.

[ percy grazes excalibur’s scabbard. it begins to glow, and its markings touch percy's heart. ]

KAY : 

Hey.

You alright up there? 

PERCIVAL : 

Y-yes…

KAY : 

Don’t worry about it, these things happen. 

C'mon, hurry up, we’ve got to get moving.

PERCIVAL : 

I’m going to have to stand on your shoulders, I think⎯

KAY : 

Of course you are. 

Go ahead, I’ve got you.

Is this alright? 

PERCIVAL : 

Yes.

I just need to⎯

Ow! 

GIANT : 

Look what we have here.

That’s unexpected.

A little pest climbing up the walls.

I can hardly let that slide.

ROUND TABLE TRIVIA

The giant hunts in Britain lasted six years, and officially came to a stop twenty years ago.

ARTHUR : 

Out of my lands, you massive parasites!

However, there were some survivors, namely those who were already living on the fringes of their society, like the giant of Ynys Môn.

Whenever they happen to make their presence known, they become prime targets for the Round Table.

It’s funny to note that when Tristan and Lamorak fought the giant of Ynys Môn, Percival was some thirty kilometers away from the battlefield.

PERCIVAL : 

Mother, there are people fighting on Ynys Môn.

BRIANE : 

Probably some fisherman's dispute.
