Tristan Quotes:

  • Gawain: [after Tristan lands his dagger in the butt of Galahad's dagger] Tristan, how do you do that?

    Tristan: I aim for the middle.

  • Bors: Dagonet, she wants to get married and give the children names.

    Tristan: Women! The children already have names, don't they?

    Bors: Just Gilly. It's too much trouble so we gave the rest of them numbers.

    Lancelot: That's interesting. I thought you couldn't count.

  • Tristan: We knights are blessed in that we do not run from it. We seek it, grasp it by the throat and demand honor in our passing.

  • Tristan: Yeah, we're all going to die some day. If it's death from a Saxon hand that frightens you, stay home.

    Galahad: If you're so eager to die you can die right now!

  • Galahad: I don't kill for pleasure.

    Tristan: You should try it some day. You might get a taste for it.

    Bors: It's in your blood boy.

    Galahad: Oh no. No. After tomorrow, this was all just a bad memory.

  • LancelotArthurBorsGawainTristanDagonet: [the knights line up on the hill near the fort and charge towards the Saxons] For Arthur!

  • Arthur: Knights... Brothers and arms... Your courage has been testet beyond all limits.

    Bors: Yes

    Arthur: But I must ask you now for one further trial.

    Bors: Drink.

    Arthur: We must leave on a final mission for Rome before our freedom can be granted. Above the wall, far north, there is a Roman family in need of rescue. They are trapped by Saxons. Our orders is to secure their safety.

    Bors: Let the Romans take care of their own.

    Gawain: Above the wall is Woad territory.

    Galahad: Our duty to Rome, if it ever was a duty, is done. Our pact with Rome is done.

    Bors: Every knight here has laid his life on the line for you. For you. And instead of freedom you want more blood? Our blood? You think more of Roman blood than you do of ours?

    Arthur: Bors! These are our orders. We leave at first light, and when we return your freedom will be waiting for you. A freedom we can embrace with honour.

    Bors: I'm a free man! I will choose my own fate!

    Tristan: Yeah, yeah, we're all going to die someday. If it's a death from a Saxons hand that frightens you, stay home.

    Galahad: Listen, if you're so eager to die, you can die right now! I've got something to live for!

    Lancelot: Enough. Enough!

    Dagonet: The Romans have broken their word. We have the word of Arthur. That is good enough. I'll prepare.

  • [Tristan has been scouting the Saxons]

    Bors: How many did you kill?

    Tristan: Four.

    Bors: Not a bad start to the day.

  • Bors: Well, now that we're free men, I'm gonna drink 'tll I can't piss straight.

    Gawain: You do that every night.

    Bors: I never could piss straight. Too much of myself to handle down there...

    [looks at the Knights]

    Bors: Well, it's a problem! No really, it is. It's a problem. It's like...

    BorsGawainLancelotTristanGalahadDagonet: ...a baby's arm holding an apple.

  • [Tristan crash-lands on top of Yvaine]

    Tristan: Mother? Oh! Oh, Mother. I'm so sorry. Are you all right?

    Yvaine: No, I'm not and I'm not your mother. So get off me!

    Tristan: You're not my mother?

    Yvaine: Do I *look* like I'm your mother?

    Tristan: No, sorry. Are you all right? Do you want some help?

    Yvaine: You can help by leaving me alone!

    Tristan: All right...

    [he begins to walk away, talking to himself]

    Tristan: Oh my God! "Light the candle and think of me". I was, I was thinking of my mo... but then Victoria and the star just popped...

    Tristan: [to Yvaine] Oh, excuse me, madam, sorry, this may see strange but, have you seen a fallen star anywhere?

    [she laughs bitterly]

    Yvaine: You're funny.

    Tristan: No, really. We're in a crater, this must be where it fell.

    Yvaine: [sarcastically] Yeah, this where it fell. It is, or if you want to be really specific, up there

    [pointing to the sky]

    Yvaine: is where this weird bloody necklace

    [she shows him the necklace around her neck]

    Yvaine: came out of nowhere and knocked it out of the heavens where it was minding its own business. And over there is where it landed. And right here, *this* is where it got hit by a magical flying MORON!

    Tristan: *You're* the star? You're the star? Really? Oh, wow! I'm sorry, I had no idea you'd be a... Oh, I, may I just say in advance that I'm sorry.

    Yvaine: Sorry for what?

    Tristan: For this.

    [Tristan takes out the enchanted chain and ties it around Yvaine's wrist]

    Tristan: Now, if I'm not mistaken this means you have to come with me. You're going to be a birthday gift for Victoria, my true love.

    Yvaine: [sarcastically] But of course! Nothing says "romance" like the gift of a kidnapped injured woman! I'm not going anywhere with you!

  • [Yvaine is having a bath and Tristan surprises her]

    Tristan: Excuse me.

    Yvaine: [surprised] Oh!

    Tristan: I think you're in my bath.

    Yvaine: Close your eyes!

    Tristan: [turns around and laughs] Honestly I'm not looking. Here, I'll turn away.

    [he laughs]

    Yvaine: [with a towel on] Right, you can open them now.

    Tristan: Did you really mean what you said in the caravan?

    Yvaine: What I...? But... You were a mouse! You were a mouse... you wanted cheese! You didn't... I asked you to give me a sign!

    Tristan: And risk you being too embarrassed to keep saying such lovely things?

    [he kisses her forehead]

    Tristan: You want to know what the Captain really whispered to me that day?

    [Yvaine nods]

    Tristan: He told me that my true love...

    [Yvaine begins to glow]

    Tristan: ...was right in front of my eyes. And he was right.

    [they kiss]

  • Yvaine: Are you tempted?

    Tristan: Tempted, by what?

    Yvaine: Immortality. Let's say it wasn't *my* heart. Not me. Just a star you didn't know.

    Tristan: You seriously think I could kill anyone?

    [Yvaine giggles]

    Tristan: I mean, even if I could... Everlasting life? I imagine it would be kind of lonely. Well, maybe if you had someone to share it with. Someone you loved. Then it might be different.

  • Tristan: You know you sort of - glitter sometimes. I've just noticed it. Is it... Is it normal?

    Yvaine: Let's see if you can work it out for yourself. What do stars do?

    Tristan: Hmm... Attract trouble?

    [Yvaine pushes him, amused]

    Tristan: [grinning] All right, I'm sorry. Let me... Do I get another guess? Is it: Do they know exactly how to annoy a boy called Tristan Thorn?

  • Tristan: [practicing in front of a mirror] Father, I lost my job. Father, I... I lost my job, I'm sorry. Father...

    Dunstan Thorn: [behind him, completing his sentence] You lost your job.

  • [Tristan and Yvaine are imprisoned in the pirate ship]

    Yvaine: They're going to kill us, aren't they?

    Tristan: I don't know.

    Yvaine: You know, it's funny. I used to watch... I used to watch people having adventures. I envied them.

    Tristan: You ever heard the expression "Be careful of what you wish for"?

    Yvaine: What, so ending up with my heart cut out - that will serve me right?

    Tristan: No, I didn't mean it like that. Look, I admire you dreaming. A shop boy like me... I could never have imagined an adventure this big in order to wish for it. I just thought I'd find some lump of celestial rock, take it home and that would be it.

    Yvaine: And you got me.

    [they both begin to laugh]

    Yvaine: If there's one thing I've learned about all my years watching Earth, is that people aren't what they may seem. There are shop boys, and there are boys who just happen to work in a shop for the time being. And trust me Tristan, you're no shop boy. You saved my life. Thank you.

    [Yvaine takes Tristan's hand]

  • Captain Shakespeare: [whispers] Yvaine... I know what you are.

    [Yvaine starts]

    Captain Shakespeare: Have no fear, no-one on this vessel will harm you, but there are plenty who would... Your emotions give you away, Yvaine. You must learn to control them. You've been glowing more brightly every day and I think you know why.

    Yvaine: Of course I know why I'm glowing. I'm a star! And what the stars do best?

    Captain Shakespeare: Well, certainly not the waltz.

    [Tristan approaches to dance with Yvaine. When they start to dance, Yvaine begins to glow. While they dance, they stop]

    Tristan: Now try.

    Yvaine: OK.

    [he dances pretty well with her]

    Tristan: See?

    Yvaine: Very good.

    [they keep dancing]

  • [Tristan and Yvaine are imprisoned in the pirate ship]

    Yvaine: Tell me about Victoria, then.

    Tristan: Well, she... she... There's nothing more to tell you.

    Yvaine: The little I know about love is that it's unconditional. It's not something you can buy.

    Tristan: Hang on! This wasn't about me buying her love. This was a way for me to prove to her how I felt.

    Yvaine: Ah... And what's she doing to prove how she feels about you?

    Tristan: Well... Look, Yvaine, you'll understand when you meet her, all right? If we don't get murdered by pirates first.

    Yvaine: Mmm... Murdered by pirates. Heart torn out and eaten. Meet Victoria. I can't quite decide which sounds more fun...

  • [Lamia is about to cut out Yvaine's heart]

    Tristan: Yvaine, hold me tight and think of home.

    [Tristan lights his Babylon candle. They escape, but end up on a cloud in the middle of nowhere]

    Tristan: What the hell did you do?

    Yvaine: What did *I* do? What did *you* do? "Think of home"? That was a GREAT plan! You thought of your home and I thought of mine and now we're halfway between the two!

    Tristan: Well you stupid cow! What did you think of your home for?

    Yvaine: You just said "home"! If you'd wanted me to think of *your* home you should have said!

    Tristan: Some crazy lady was going to cut your heart out and you wanted more specific instructions? Perhaps you'd want it in writing - or a diagram, maybe?

  • Tristan: I find the fastest way to travel is by candlelight.

    [showing the candle]

    Yvaine: You've got a Babylon candle.

    Tristan: Yeah, I have a bubbling candle.

    Yvaine: A *Babylon* candle.

    Tristan: That's what I said.

    Yvaine: You said "bubbling".

  • Guard: Dunstan Thorn, not again!

    Tristan: It's Tristan, actually.

    Guard: Oh. You do look a bit like your father. And I suppose you intend to cross the wall as well, do you? Well you can forget it - go home!

    Tristan: Cross the wall as well as who?

    Guard: No one. Nobody.

    [Tristan walks to cross the wall]

    Guard: Nobody crosses the wall! You know that! Everybody knows that.

    Tristan: You know, I know. I understand. Nobody. Well I better head for the old homestead, then.

    Guard: Good night, then. Good night, Tristan.

    Tristan: Good night.

    [Tristan begins to walk away]

    Guard: Give my best to your father.

    [Tristan turns around and runs to cross the wall like Dunstan had done but the guard stops him and begins to hit him with his wooden cudgel. Tristan ends up on the ground]

    Guard: [casually] Off you go.

  • [Tristan is dazed just after returning to human form]

    Tristan: Victoria!

    Yvaine: I think I preferred "Mother".

  • [outside the witches' castle]

    Septimus: [as he holds a sword to Tristan's throat] Who are you? What business do you have here?

    Tristan: [he sees the number 7 mark on Septimus' hand] Septimus... I knew your brother, Primus.

    Septimus: Unless you wish to meet him in the afterlife, I suggest you answer my question. What are you doing here?

    Tristan: I might ask you the same thing!

    [Septimus realises that Tristan is holding a butter knife to his gut]

    Septimus: Ah...

    [they both lower their weapons and peer through the window]

    Septimus: There are four of them. Do as I say and we may stand a chance.

    Tristan: Wait! How do I know you can be trusted?

    Septimus: You don't. Why? Do you have a choice?

    Tristan: No.

    Septimus: Well then, let's go.

  • Tristan: [Tristan goes to see Victoria on her birthday, picks up a small stone for the window to call her as he used to, then smiles, drops the stone and knocks on the front door, Victoria answers] Happy birthday.

    Victoria: [Looking pleasantly astonished at Tristan's transformation] What happened to you?

    Tristan: I've found the star.

    Victoria: I can't believe you did it. Where's my star? Can I see it? Is it beautiful?

    Tristan: Yes.

    [Tristan reaches into his pocket and pulls out a lock of Yvaine's hair, wrapped in a small piece of white cloth. He gives it to Victoria]

    Victoria: Well, it's awfully small.

    Tristan: Well, that's just a little piece - a token for your birthday.

    Victoria: Well... Well, then forget about the star. It's not the star that I want.

    Victoria: [she puts her arms around him]

    [seductively]

    Victoria: You know what I want.

    [they are about to kiss but he pulls away from her]

    Tristan: Yeah, I do. You want to grow up and get over yourself.

    Victoria: [indignantly] Well! Oh!

    [Humphrey appears around the corner and at the sight of Tristan drops a medium sized box wrapped in red wrapping paper that was suspended from his left hand]

    Tristan: Humphrey!

    Humphrey: Thorn. You must have a death wish.

    [Humphrey then unsheathes a small, thin sword. Tristan unsheathes a much larger and and brandishes it menacingly]

    Humphrey: [backing down] Ah...

    Tristan: [looking amused] Humphrey. Humphrey, it's all right. She's all yours. You really are a perfect couple. The best of luck to you both.

    [Victoria looks inside the cloth containing the token that Tristan has given her]

    Victoria: [ungratefully] Why would I want this? It's just a measly handful of stardust.

  • [a girl gives a cup to Tristan as he is stabling Primus's horses]

    Tristan: Thank you. That's so kind. My name's Tristan. What's yours?

    Girl Bernard: [in his own voice] Bernard.

  • Tristan: Don't you ever sleep?

    Yvaine: Not at night. May have escaped your notice, genius, but that's when the stars have rather better things to do. They're coming out, shining, that sort of thing.

    Tristan: Yeah, well, it may have escaped yours, but you're not in the sky anymore. Coming out is off the agenda. Shining has been suspended until further notice. Oh, and sleeping during the day is O-U-T. Unless you have some magical ability to sleep while you're walking.

    Yvaine: Have you not got it into your thick head yet? I'm not walking anywhere!

  • [Tristan and Victoria are sipping champagne under the stars]

    Victoria: Do you know, Humphrey's going all the way to Ipswich to buy me a ring.

    Tristan: Ipswich? Victoria I'm talking about London or Paris or... A ring? Why is he... What kind of a ring?

    Victoria: The word is he's planning to propose to me on my birthday.

    Tristan: [crestfallen] He's going to... And you're gonna say yes?

    Victoria: [laughs] Well I can't exactly say no after he's gone all the way to Ipswich.

    Tristan: "All the way to Ipswich"? Victoria, for your hand in marriage, I'd cross oceans or continents.

    Victoria: Really?

    Tristan: Yes.

    [Victoria giggles]

    Tristan: Victoria, for your hand in marriage, I would go to the gold fields of San Francisco and bring you back your weight in gold. I'd go to Africa and bring you back a diamond as big as your fist. Or I'd go to the Arctic and I'd slaughter a polar bear and bring you back its head.

    [Victoria has been moving closer, about to kiss him, but suddenly she recoils]

    Victoria: [disgusted] A polar bear's head? Ugh! You're funny, Tristan.

    [they look up into the sky]

    Victoria: Oh, Tristan! A shooting star. Beautiful.

    Tristan: More beautiful than a fancy ring from Ipswich? Victoria, for your hand in marriage, I'd cross the wall and bring you back that fallen star.

    Victoria: You can't cross the wall. Nobody crosses the wall. Now you're just being silly.

    Tristan: I'm not being silly. I'd do it. For you, I'd do anything.

    Victoria: [thinking] Hmmm. My very own star. It seems we have ourselves an agreement. You have exactly one week or I'm marrying Humphrey.

  • [Tristan is on the ground and Primus has his sword at his throat]

    Primus: If Septimus insists on sending a boy to do a man's job...

    Tristan: No! Please, I don't know Septimus. I just need a lift. Look at me, I'm unarmed. Please. Please, let me ride with you.

    [Primus returns to his carriage and Tristan stands up and follows him]

    Primus: I'm afraid that's impossible. I'm on a quest of enormous importance.

    [Gets on the carriage]

    Tristan: All the better reason to take me with you. Maybe you'll need a second pair of hands. Sir, please. Maybe Providence sent me to you as it sent you to me.

    Primus: Get on.

  • [deleted scene]

    Tristan: [while he and Victoria are drinking champagne] You know... an interesting fact, actually - the first champagne glass was molded on the left breast of Marie Antoinette.

    [Victoria stares at him, disgusted]

    Tristan: I don't know if there was something wrong... with her right one...

  • Susannah: Were you going to say goodbye? Tristan? How long will you be gone?

    Tristan: Not long. A few months.

    Susannah: I can make it better for you.

    Tristan: No.

    Susannah: If we'd had a child or if I were pregnant, would you still be going?

    Tristan: Yes.

    Susannah: Just give me a chance.

    Tristan: Don't do that.

    Susannah: Look at me. Please, look at me. I'll wait for you. However long it takes. I'll wait for you forever.

  • Tristan: You see this man? His name is One Stab. He's a venerated elder of the Cree nation. He's counted coup on hundreds of his enemies. He is our friend, and he is thirsty.

  • Tristan: Samuel, God bless you. You are good at everything you try to do. I'm sure it'll be the same with fucking.

    Samuel: Tristan, really. We're talking about my future wife.

    Tristan: Oh, you're not gonna fuck her?

    Samuel: No!

    Tristan: No?

    Samuel: No! I'm planning to be with her.

    Tristan: I recommend fucking.

  • Alfred: When are you planning to be married?

    Tristan: Morning.

    Alfred: Damn you, Tristan. You will marry her.

    Tristan: And make a honest woman out of her?

    Alfred: Yes! God damn you to hell.

    Tristan: Yes, I will marry her if she'll have me.

    Alfred: If she'll have you? Do you love her? Or did you seduce her just to spite me?

    Tristan: It's not what I did.

    Alfred: And what about Samuel?

    Tristan: What about Samuel?

    Alfred: You tell me about Samuel.

    Tristan: We all loved Samuel. Samuel's dead. What?

    Alfred: How convenient that is for you.

    Tristan: Because you love her I will forgive you for that. Once! You say that again and we're not brothers.

  • Samuel: Still hung over?

    Tristan: Still drunk!

  • Tristan: Because you love her, I will forgive that, ONCE! Say that again, and you are no longer my brother.

  • Tristan: You know when Samuel died... when Samuel died, I cursed God. Did I damn everybody around me as well as myself?

    Colonel Ludlow: No. You are not damned, Tristan... I won't allow that.

  • Tristan: Alfred's going to do well wherever he is.

    Colonel Ludlow: Except here with us.

    Tristan: That's my fault.

    Colonel Ludlow: I didn't say that.

    Tristan: I couldn't bring Samuel back home alive either, could I?

    Colonel Ludlow: Don't you dare say that boy! That was in God's hands.

    Tristan: Was it?

  • Tristan: Samuel! Samuel, come here! Run along now. Go with Pet. Get him in the house!

    John T. O'Banion: He's a fine boy. You know we're not here to arrest you.

    Tristan: You take me to the woods. I don't want my boy to see. I don't want my boy to see. Let's get on with it.

  • Alfred: You don't have to be a genius to figure out they going to come after you for this.

    Tristan: Yeah. Alfred?

    Alfred: Yeah?

    Tristan: I want to ask you to watch over my children. Watch over Samuel.

    Alfred: Brother, it will be an honor.

  • Samuel: Nice shiner.

    Tristan: Yeah, well, I hit her back.

  • Tristan: Miss Finncannon. It's a pleasure to meet you. I hope you and Ugly here find every happiness together.

  • Samuel: Tristan! Get back to your unit!

    Tristan: Those boys are boring. I'd rather have you watching my back.

  • Canadian Soldier: MacKenzie was just brought in, his leg's turned bad. He said...

    Tristan: What?

    Alfred: He said what? Go on, man, what is it?

    Canadian Soldier: He said your brother, he volunteered to take his place and go over on the reconnaissance.

    Alfred: [to Tristan] God damn it! I told you to stay with him!

  • Tristan: You guys look like a bunch of ice-cream cones!

  • Isolde: Know that I love you Tristan. Wherever you go, whatever you see. I will always be with you.

    [his last lines]

    Tristan: You were right. I don't know if life is greater than death. But love was more than either.

  • Lord Marke: Isolde, I was trying to explain to Tristan the importance of love. Seems he might live without it.

    Isolde: Why?

    Tristan: There are other things to live for: duty, honor.

    Isolde: But they are not life Tristan. They are the shells of life, and empty ones if in the end all they hold are days and days without love. Love is made by God. Ignore it and you suffer as you cannot imagine.

    Tristan: Then I will no longer live without it.

  • Lord Marke: Do you find no comfort in your home, these stearn walls that you helped build?

    Tristan: I find these walls a prison.

    Lord Marke: Why?

    Tristan: Everything I wanted seems meaningless.

  • Isolde: I'm not permitted a single moment without mourning. I'm living with this, Tristan, as you said we must.

    Tristan: I live in torture thinking of these moments. With every look he gives you, I get sicker and sicker. There's a burning in me I feel on fire, and there's guilt and I can't comidify. Does it make you happy to know that?

    Isolde: The Roman Bridge, I can get to it without being seen, and I'd go there any time to be with you.

  • Isolde: You risked your life to give me to another man.

    Tristan: You said your name was Bragnae. Why did you do that?

    Isolde: Oh, what have I done? Stop this, please, Tristan, say something.

    Tristan: I can't. I won you in my King's name.

    Isolde: But I'm your's. You touched me and I you.

    Tristan: It doesn't matter.

    Isolde: It's the only thing that matters, Tristan. Leave with me, I'll go anywhere!

  • Isolde: What do you think became of them?

    Tristan: They were lives... just lived.

  • Tristan: Come with me. Come with me!

    Isolde: I can't!

    Tristan: Why not? Please!

    Isolde: Tristan, we both know this can't be, we've known it from the start. That doesn't mean it isn't true, it is, it just cannot be. I want to know that you're alive somewhere thinking of me from time to time. I want to know that there's more to this life and I can't know that if they kill you. Please! Go.

  • Isolde: How many have you loved before me?

    Tristan: None.

    Isolde: And after me?

    Tristan: None.

  • Tristan: [fleeing Ireland] Come with me.

    Isolde: I can't.

    Tristan: Why not?

    Isolde: We both know this cannot be, Tristan. We knew it from the start. That doesn't mean it wasn't true, it is.

  • Melot: [lying in the tunnel] A dozen Irish have blazed your way.

    Tristan: Melot, I swear I did not lead them here.

    Melot: No, I did.

    Tristan: Why?

    Melot: I thought someone believed in me.

    Tristan: It will be undone.

    Melot: I am for the worms, Tristan. Swear to me that you are true.

    Tristan: As we were brothers.

  • Isolde: [on dreaming of things] ... a child.

    Tristan: Will it be mine or his?

    Isolde: I'd have no way of knowing, would I?

  • Tristan: [to Lord Marke] She is loyal to you. I am sure of it.

  • Isolde: And what of your parents?

    Tristan: They also died when I was a child.

    Isolde: From what?

    Tristan: A different type of Irish kindness.

  • Tristan: What's your name?

    Isolde: Oh, I think it's better if we don't bother with names.

    Tristan: How can I thank you if I don't have your name?

    Isolde: You just did. If you insist, my name is Bragnae. I'm a lady in waiting at the court. My parents are dead. My mother is the source of the kindness you find so puzzling. My father would've left you where you fell.

    Tristan: Tristan of Aragon.

    Isolde: Well Tristan of Aragon, I'd guess about you too, but I think I've already seen everything.

  • Isolde: Tristan, if we do this...

    Tristan: For all time they will say it was our love, brought down a kingdom. Remember us.

    [pushes the boat away]

  • Isolde: If things were different, if we lived in a place without duty, would you be with me?

    Tristan: That place does not exist.

    Isolde: [sobs] I'll pretend it's you.

  • Tristan: Your marriage will end a hundred years of bloodshed.

    Isolde: [sobbing] My marriage to another man!

  • Tristan: You're promised?

    Isolde: Yes.

    Tristan: What's he like?

    Isolde: Dark. Tall. Nearly twice your size. An absolute gentleman.

  • Melot: Saw you dead?

    Tristan: I am delivered.

  • [hold Wictred's head and shows it to the entire Irish army]

    Tristan: Behold! The Head of a Traitor!

  • King Donnchadh: Impressive victory. Of course, the man who defeats Morholt might be expected to triumph here.

    Tristan: On behalf of Cornwall, I offer your daughter a place on our throne. As royal of England. United behind one leader.

    King Donnchadh: Isolde. Perhaps it is just that he who took a husband, provides one.
