Continuity: During the second fight between Merlin and Arthur, the same dark-haired man is visible on the background, but in different outfits. When the boys just prepare to fight, he stays on the street just behind and is in a brown shirt and red vest. When Arthur falls and Merlin notices Gaius and stops fighting, the same man is again behind them inside the barn and is wearing a darker brown shirt only.

Quotes:

Arthur Pendragon: Don't address me like that!
Merlin: Okay, sorry. How much did you practice for being such a prat, my Lord?
