Robby Benson: Prince Valiant

Quotes 

• [first lines] 

  Prince Valiant : Well done, Rowanne. In fact, yours was the closest of all.

  Rowenne : You sound surprised, Valiant. As if I never win.

  Arn : It's more like you never lose.

  Prince Valiant : And I, for one, am beginning to be bored by it.

  Rowenne : What was that, my narrow-minded prince?

  Merlin : Valiant, come with me.

  Prince Valiant : [bowing]  Alas, duty calls.

  Rowenne : Let's hope it doesn't call for much skill with a blade.

• Merlin : When you arrive in Kengarry, you could try to make Ian see things differently. To find a way other than death in which Duncan could pay for his crime.

  Prince Valiant : Ah, that is an almost-impossible task, Merlin.

  Merlin : It could be. If I were suggesting it to a less extraordinary man.

• Baron Duncan Draconarius : You're the one with the sword.

  Prince Valiant : You would be wise to remember that.

• Prince Valiant : What's wrong? No taste for the fruit of the seeds you planted?

• Baron Duncan Draconarius : This has to be attended to.

  Prince Valiant : No. We must continue on.

  Baron Duncan Draconarius : You're burning with fever. You'll never make it.

  Prince Valiant : We... continue... on.

  [faints] 

  Baron Duncan Draconarius : I'm afraid you're not going anywhere, my young prince.

• Prince Valiant : You could have escaped, Duncan. Why did you come back?

  Baron Duncan Draconarius : I might have escaped *you*, Valiant. But I could never escape the memory of what I saw in that cottage.

  [of the handcuffs] 

  Baron Duncan Draconarius : These will bind my wrists. But not as strongly as the chains of remorse which bind my heart.

• Prince Valiant : I too lost my birthright, Duncan. But I've learned to make the best of it. To do otherwise would allow bitterness and hatred to consume me.

• Baron Duncan Draconarius : [disguised as monks]  Valiant, you're mad. We can't just walk in there.

  Prince Valiant : Brother Duncan, you are a man of little faith.

• Prince Valiant : Tread carefully, Duncan. Every man in this camp would like nothing better than to kill you.

  Baron Duncan Draconarius : How reassuring.

• [last lines] 

  Baron Duncan Draconarius : [shaking his hand]  I'm going to miss you, Valiant.

  Prince Valiant : This is a good thing. You have been given a new life, Duncan.

  Baron Duncan Draconarius : Yes. And I shall make the best of it.

  Prince Valiant : I believe you will. I believe you will.
