do you know in the darkest hour part 2 when lancelot and merlin went back to the knights and arthur but lancelot walked in first solely to give arthur a panic attack that merlin was dead, only to have merlin walked up five seconds later?? what assholes. what honest to god jerks. i love it. they literally planned that out. they stood outside that ruined castle, about to walk in together, but then one of them was like “wait wait wait, hang on. dude. i got an idea. everyone will go crazy.” and i am willing to bet all the money i have on this earth that it was lancelot’s idea
Arthur: So, it's the first week of the new year. How's everyone doing?
Morgana: I crave murder.
Gwaine: I've concocted a drink that lets you go for five full days without sleep!
Elyan: Or so he claims. It has coffee, three different energy drinks, and five shots of espresso.
Merlin, twitching violently: I'VE TESTED IT. IT WORKS.
Gaius: I'm recording the progress of Merlin's slow but inevitable death.
Arthur: We need to create a distraction.
Percival: You want me to try? If I flex real hard I can make my shirt explode off of my body.
Arthur: Wait, you can seriously do that?
Gwaine: Oh, yeah! I've seen him do it. One of the buttons flew off and hit Elyan.
