Uther Pendragon : Arthur. No. Please. Whatever I've done, I've done for Camelot.
Arthur : You've had your turn. Now it's mine.
Uther Pendragon : Merlin has...!
[Arthur blows the horn and returns him to the other world]
-
Merlin : Get away from him, Uther! You've caused enough harm. You don't belong here. You must return to the other world.
Uther Pendragon : This is MY kingdom! You think you can drive me from it? You are nothing but a serving boy!
Merlin : I'm much more than that.
[Uther sends a bench flying at Merlin which Merlin deflects magically]
Uther Pendragon : You have magic?
Merlin : [quivering with anger] I was born with it!
Uther Pendragon : I made you Arthur's servant. You are a sorcerer?
Merlin : Even while you were king, there was magic at the heart of Camelot!
Uther Pendragon : I will not allow you and your kind to poison...
Merlin : You're wrong.
Uther Pendragon : ...my kingdom!
Merlin : You're wrong, about so much. Arthur is a better and more worthy King than you ever were.
Uther Pendragon : [Uther bawls with anger] NO!
[as Merlin drives him through the wall with magic]

Arthur : Why are you doing this?
Uther Pendragon : I did not spend my entire life building this kingdom to see my own son destroy it.
Arthur : You tried to kill Guinevere.
Uther Pendragon : For your own good. How can a serving girl understand what it means to be queen?
Arthur : Guinevere is wise and strong, and I trust her more than anyone.
Uther Pendragon : And that is your weakness. You put too much trust in other people. You and you alone must rule Camelot.
Arthur : I would rather not rule at all than rule alone.
Uther Pendragon : Your whole life I tried to prepare you for the day you would become king. Did you learn nothing?
Arthur : I watched you rule. I learned that if you trust no one you'll always live in fear. Your hatred came from fear, not strength.
Uther Pendragon : How dare you.
Arthur : I loved and respected you, but I have to rule the kingdom in my own way. I have to do what I believe to be right.
Uther Pendragon : I will not allow you to destroy all that I built!
Arthur : Then you'll have to kill me. I'm not you, Father. I can't rule the way you did.
Uther Pendragon : Camelot must come before all else. Even you.
