Perceval Quotes:

  • Grail Figure: What is the secret of the Grail? Who does it serve?

    Perceval: You, my lord.

    Grail Figure: Who am I?

    Perceval: You are my lord and king. You are Arthur.

    Grail Figure: Have you found the secret that I have lost?

    Perceval: Yes. You and the land are one.

  • Perceval: [holding the Grail to Arthur's lips] You and the land are one. Drink.

    Arthur: I am wasting away. I cannot die and I cannot live.

    Perceval: Drink from the chalice. You will be reborn and the land with you.

    Arthur: [drinks] Perceval... I didn't know how empty was my soul... until it was filled.

    Kay: [Upon seeing Arthur cured] Arthur.

    Arthur: [Speaking to Kaye] Ready my knights for battle. They shall ride with their King once more. I have lived through others far too long. Lancelot bore my honor and Guenevere my guilt. Mordred bore my sins. My Knight have fought my causes. And now my brother, I shall be... King!

  • Arthur: [Arthur is dying] Perceval, take Excalibur. Find a pool of calm water. Throw the sword into it.

    Perceval: No!

    Arthur: Obey me, Perceval. Do it, and return.

    Arthur: [Perceval returns after not throwing the sword in] When you cast it in, what did you see?

    Perceval: I saw nothing but the wind on the water. My King, I couldn't do it! Excalibur cannot be lost! Other men...

    Arthur: DO... as I command! One day, a King will come, and the Sword will rise... again.

  • Perceval: I can't give up hope, Lancelot. It's all I have.

  • Boy Mordred: You seek what Arthur wants? That thing they call the Grail?

    Perceval: I do.

    Boy Mordred: Then follow me.

    [Mordred leads him to the tree where the decomposing bodies of some of the other quest knights are]

    Boy Mordred: They were looking for it too. But they weren't good enough.

  • Perceval: Lancelot help us! Come back to us! Arthur needs you! Lancelot!

  • Perceval: By my faith, I won't hide it longer, Sire. My name is Perceval of Wales.
