Frik: Oh, no need to thank me. I just love happy endings.

Merlin: How are you Frik?

Frik: Over-worked and under-paid, how terribly sweet of you to inquire.

King Uther Pendragon: Do you know what love is Merlin?

Merlin: Yes Uther, sad to say, I know what love is.

Merlin: Things fall apart, they say. Uther had betrayed me, killed Cornwall. But then, I'd betrayed Igraine by helping Uther seduce her. So the wheel of life turns - one betrayal leads to another and another. The innocent die. It haunted me for the rest of my life.
