GALAHAD : 

Pelles. 

I’ve come to ask you for your assistance in my quest,

and bring you your people’s grievances. 

…

[ sighs ]

You’re fishing,

while your people suffer.

You’ve left your lands to rot, and you⎯

PELLES : 

The Grail is no longer here. 

GALAHAD : 

I’m aware.

I mean to find it, for the good of Britain,

and to restore your land’s prosperity. 

PELLES : 

The Grail is no longer here.

GALAHAD : 

…

[ sighs ] 

I thought you’d be different.

I’m… not sure what I expected, to be honest.

Are you not going to do anything?

PELLES : 

…

What’s the point?

[ galahad sees red. she stabs her sword into the ground between pelles’ legs. ]

GALAHAD : 

How dare you, Pelles of Corbenic?

You were a knight worthy of your name, once. 

I grew up on tales of your heroics, back in the hospice.

When the druids told them, their faces lit up…

They did not know of the despicable things you’d done, but

they saw you as a good knight, a great prince, who would’ve done anything for the sake of his kingdom.

They’d be ashamed to see you now. 

PELLES : 

…

It’s you. 

It’s you…

How ironic to find you here…

…now that the Grail is gone. 

Listen, child⎯

GALAHAD : 

Don’t touch me. 

I’m not here for you.

You may rot in your little pond if you so please, but I will find the Grail.

PELLES : 

…

GALAHAD : 

And you’re going to help me. I need all the information you have, every last bit of it. 

Every detail matters.

So you’re going to help me,

or I’ll finish what Sir Balin started. 

PELLES : 

…

[ sighs ]

Go to the archives, in the main tower.

There, you’ll find some tomes of interest.

Surely you will find what you’re looking for. 

DINADAN : 

You do realize you’re the ones in the wrong here, right?

TRISTAN : 

Din?

DINADAN : 

True, you’re the ones who left.

What else can Arthur do, though?

LANCELOT : 

Din, this is a serious matter.

DINADAN : 

I am being serious.

I don’t know your history, but I know what’s going on with Mark.

I’m not trying to defend him, but let’s be real…

Trying to reason with Mark, and go back to the way things were

is probably the smartest thing to do.

[ tristan grabs iseult by the hand. hold her back hold her back!! ]

ISEULT : 

He had Tristan locked up in a dungeon for weeks on end,

and you think he can be reasoned with?

DINADAN : 

Yes, Mark’s an arse, nothing new under the sun.

All I’m saying is that

two kings, with their armies at their backs, are telling you to return as their rightful queens

and you’re not even going to think about it?

TRISTAN, ISEULT, LANCELOT, GUINEVERE : 

…

TRISTAN : 

…

Listen, Din… 

Our duty is to protect those who cannot protect themselves. 

Iseult cannot be put in harm's way. You can understand that, can’t you? 

DINADAN : 

Tristan, think of all the lives that will be put in harm’s way

because none of you will own up to your duty.

TRISTAN : 

I know where my duty lies. 

I told Mark everything,

and he chose to see malice in what I did, rather than clumsiness on my part. 

DINADAN : 

Can it really be called clumsiness when it keeps happening?

I mean, you know damn well I don’t like Mark, but…

…he’s been putting up with your bullshit for years. 

Years of being the third party in your two-person relationship, which, even if he tacitly agreed to it, is a stain on his image.

So yeah, he lost it the day you…

…

TRISTAN : 

Go on.

Say it. 

DINADAN : 

…fucked his wife in his own bed. 

The two of you… It’s a matter of respect, not clumsiness.

And even your love can’t justify that. 

TRISTAN : 

…

And what do you know about love? 

It’s true, you’re always up on your moral high horse, making fun of me for my passions. 

But what do you know about love, exactly?

You’ve run from it all your life.

How would you know how it feels to want to raise armies

just to defend your beloved’s honor?

To throw yourself headfirst into danger, just for a chance

to hold them in your arms again?

No, you have no idea…

Because you’ve never loved anyone!

BRUNOR : 

Tristan…

DINADAN : 

… 

…I’m not going to fight a war just because the lot of you can’t go five minutes without fucking.

So if your soldiers are going to die for you, I hope you’ll at least let them have a taste. 

You always had a thing for the married ones, 

so it shouldn’t be a problem to let them have a go at your wi⎯
