camelot is such a good show. ♥ Kay: Did you study magic? Or were you born with it?
Merlin: Neither.
Kay: So where does it come from?
Merlin: Thought...made manifest.
Leontes: That doesn't make any sense.
Merlin: Or would you be happier if I said that it was a gift from God?
Leontes: It would be clearer to me.
Merlin: Listen, there are forces in the fire: wind, water, the earth. Which I can shape these elements to my will...in some small degree.
Leontes: That's God working through you.
Merlin: Not likely, given there is no God.
Leontes: ...Merlin, I followed you from Uther's deathbed to Camelot. I am the king's most loyal knight and all that I ask is that you respect my faith.
Merlin: Like you respect mine?
Leontes: I don't understand it. I don't disrespect it. You don't hear me call you a devil for what you do.
Merlin: Then what would you call me? Hum?
Leontes: An angel perhaps.
Merlin: *scoffs and laughs exuberantly* I have been called a lot of things, but never that. *laughs* Perfect.
