Quotes from
Lancelot Du Lac:
If the king grants you clemency, you shall be banished. If not, you hang.
King Arthur: Clemency is granted.
King Arthur: I love them and they answer me with pain and torment. Be it sin or not sin, they betray me in their hearts and that's far sin enough. I can feel it in their eyes, I can feel it when they speak, and they must pay for it and be punished. I shall not be wounded and not return it in kind! I'm through with feeble hoping! I demand a man's vengeance!

King Arthur: Proposition: I'm a king, not a man. And a very civilized king. Could it possibly be civilized to destroy the thing I love? Did they ask for this calamity? Can passion be selected?
Mordred: I like my women married, my willpower weak, my wine strong, and my saints fallen.
