Quotes 

• Merlin : Well, whatever it is, one thing's for sure, Arthur's not going to find it. He thinks he is *so* sharp. But even when I told him that I was a wizard, he still couldn't see it.

  Gaius : A wizard's pretty hard to spot.

  Merlin : Well maybe I should go around wearing a pointy hat.

• Gaius : One day, Merlin. One day.

  Merlin : One day what?

  Gaius : One day, people won't believe what an idiot you were.

  Merlin : [pause]  Thanks.

• Merlin : What else could I do? It's my fault Gwen's going to die!

  Gaius : Yes, but you don't prover her innocence by offering to jump into the flames. You do it by finding out what's causing the disease.

• Gaius : [trying to find out what caused the disease]  What's different about this victim?

  Merlin : Um, she's-she's a woman.

  Gaius : Sometimes I do wonder whether your magical talents were given to the right person. Anything else?

• Gaius : Patience is a virtue, Merlin.

  Merlin : What? Sitting by and doing nothing, that's a virtue?

• Merlin : Water. You think the disease is spreading through water?

  Gaius : Merlin, you're a prodigy.

• Gaius : [the dragon tells Merlin how to defeat the creature, and that he and Arthur are two sides of a coin. Gaius doesn't know about the dragon]  How did you find this out?

  Merlin : Um, I just knew, y'know? Upon my powers.

  Gaius : What else did your powers tell you?

  Merlin : That... I am one side of a coin. The brighter side, obviously.

• Merlin : But not all magic is bad. I know it isn't.

  Gaius : Magic is neither good nor bad. It's how you use it.
