Torin Thatcher Quotes:

Pendragon: Welcome to Castle Pendragon.
Jack: I had a sample of your welcome outside.
Pendragon: I must compliment you on your valor, young man. First you vanquish Cormoran, my giant, then you found your way to this island - a feat in itself. Just now you lashed out and destroyed my dragon men with your magic whip - a stroke of genius! A real tragedy to have come so far only to suffer failure.


Pendragon: I scheme a thousand nights, put the princess in your very hands and you, imbecile, idiot, allow a mere farmer, a mere mortal to defy me!
Garna: We have failed, master, we have failed.
Pendragon: But only for a moment. I shall have the princess and the farmer shall die. By all the powers of darkness, he shall die!


Mr. Myers: I hope we are not to be deprived of the learned and stimulating company of Sir Wilfrid?
