KING: Are you here to kill me?

: I am.

KING: Fair enough. It is well past my time.

: You aren't afraid.

KING: Should I be? You are but a child.

: I am grown. You are old. We are all children to you.

KING: Have you ever been in love, child?

: Have you?

KING: No.

: What was her name? The one you weren't in love with?

KING: Rhoswen. I was younger than you are. This land was beautiful then.

: So I've heard.

KING: Was I a good king? I think I was, for awhile. I stayed too long.

: Would you give me the Grail, or should I take it from you?

KING: It doesn't work that way, child. I couldn't give up the Grail now if I wanted to. I wish you could understand.

: Understand what? You lived as a king, fat and happy in a palace of gold, while your people had nothing.

KING: Yes. Nothing grows here anymore. The people starved. And then I was alone. You've never been in love?

: No.

KING: You have friends, family. A dog and a cat that you play with, the way a child plays.

: I was not that kind of child. As long as I've had memory the Grail has called my name.

KING: What a shame.

: I had a dog.

KING: And now you will have my palace. I wonder. Will you give my gold to the people, or keep it for yourself until it's worthless?

: How many died? How many people died because they needed a leader and instead they got you? They cried out for help and you gave them nothing.

KING: I had nothing to give.

: You sit on a golden throne.

KING: If I had a chance to start over again ... What was your dog's name?

: Does it matter?

KING: I suppose not. What a shame.

: I will restore this land to its former glory.

KING: Yes? And how will you do that?

: By being better than you were.
