Quotes

• Brendan MacGrath : I'll have to put to a vote.

• [last lines] 

  King Arthur : Duncan Draconarius is a man of honor. You were wise to recommend that he be allowed to rule Kengarry.

  Prince Valiant : Thank you, Your Majesty. But I must confess that my time in Kengray has made me think that perhaps the traditional way of choosing rulers may be too... arbitrary.

  King Arthur : How else would it be done?

  Prince Valiant : The McGrath had a method wherein each person had an equal say in making a decision. They called it a vote. It was done by a show of hands. It made me think, Your Majesty. Could this not someday be applied to the selection of a king?

  King Arthur : Hmm... A show of hands to choose a ruler. What an extraordinary idea.
