Dragonheart

"All my life I've dreamed of serving noble kings, noble ideals. Dreams die hard and you hold them in your hands long after they've turned to dust. I will not be that naive again."

"You should have eaten her."

"Don't clutter up a clever scheme with morality."

"There's nothing noble about crushing desperate men."

"A knight is sworn to valor. His heart knows only virtue. His blade defends the helpless. His might upholds the weak. His word speaks only truth. His wrath undoes the wicked."

"(flings a knight's corpse at Bowen and Gilbert) That's all that's left of the last dragon-slayer who tangled with me! If I were you, I'd quit while I was ahead!"

"Come, visit the woods! (drags Bowen through the trees)"

"I don't want to kill you, I never did! And I don't want you to kill me! How do we gain? If you win, you lose a trade. If I win, I wait around for the next sword-slinger thirsting to carve a reputation out of my hide. I'm tired of lurking in holes and skulking in darkness. I'm gonna let you up now. And if you insist, we can pursue this fracas to its final stupidity. Or... you can listen to my alternative."

"Long ago, when man was young and the dragon already old, the wisest of our race took pity on man. He gathered together all the dragons, making them vow to watch over man, always. And at the moment of his death, the night became alive with those stars. [points out the constellation Draco] And thus was born the Dragons' Heaven. But when we die, not all dragons are admitted to this shining place. No, we have to earn it. And if we don't, our spirit disappears as if we never were. And that's why I shared my life force with a dying boy - so I would reunite man and dragon, and ensure my place among my ancient brothers of the sky. But... my sacrifice became my sin."

"You should never listen to minstrels' fancies. A dragon would never hurt a soul, unless they tried to hurt him first."

"When you squeeze the nobilty, it's the peasants that feel the pinch."

"(regarding Sir Eglamore) I merely chewed in self defense, but I never swallowed."

"Next time, I'll collect the money, and you can die!"

"The sword against the fang and claw. The flame against shield. Blah, blah, blah, which one would win? Blah, blah, field, shield, wield. Whose flesh from bones would be peeled. Oh, no. Whose fate would soon be sealed. Whose fate would soon be sealed? Whose fate would soon be sealed?"

"(during Bowen and Draco's stalemate) Into the moonlit night the titans dueled, in mortal combat bound. Oh, who'd the fatal false step make? Whose blood would stain the ground? (yawns)"

"Avalon, oh Avalon, for you I quest each day."

"(shoots a man in the rear) Turn the other cheek, brother."

"(at the end) And in the days following Draco's sacrifice, Bowen and Kara led the people in a time of justice and brotherhood. As I remember it now, those were golden years, warmed by an unworldly light. And when things became the most difficult, Draco's star shone more brightly, for all of us who knew where to look!"
