The Archer: Fugitive from the Empire (1981 TV Movie)

Lane Caudell: Toran of Malveel

Quotes 

• Thoran of Malveel : My mother used to say that Love and Hate are two horns on the same bull. I'll take your hate, Estra, if that's all you have to give.

• Thoran of Malveel : I must avenge my father, Mak.

  Mak : Oman's wheel turned on your father. It WILL turn on Sandros, too. And crush him, you can depend on it!

• Thoran of Malveel : How will I find you, Lazar-sa?

  Lazar-Sa : [appearing in a shrouded vision]  Do you see me?

  Thoran of Malveel : Yes.

  Lazar-Sa : Then you can see that I cannot tell you where I am, only that I am here. The hawk is my eyes, who led you to Kamal, where a lesson was taught you in truth. He also showed you Rega, who took my name and defiled it. The closer you come, the better I can see to guide you. Listen to Elb, she will also guide you. And, by the time you find me, you will be ready for much more than mere kinghood. But this Druschan, now...

  Slant : I'm staying with him, no matter what you say, like it or not. He amuses me.

  Lazar-Sa : The odds, Slant of Druschmar, will always be - rotten.

• Mandras The Horse Chief : I like your story, Thoran. The part about the dead-eater gave me goose-flesh!

  Thoran of Malveel : I'd thought you would have liked the romance best, sweet Mandras - my instant passion for the Earth-goddess!

  Dar : It should remind her of her five frail husbands and eight scrapping daughters!

• Thoran of Malveel : All you're sniffing after is gold. A wizard who changes iron to gold. I have different reasons.

  Slant : Oh, great hero, pardon me for wanting gold! But where I grew up, all we dreamed of was food and gold. Nothing honorable like your great quest for kinghood, but our bellies! Maybe you could teach me a thing or two about honor, but I could teach you lots about plain old survival.

• Slant : I love you two when you don't know whether to kiss or cut. We got company - over there.

  Thoran of Malveel : Dynasty troops.

  Slant : Yeah, and why am I sure that they're looking for us?

  Thoran of Malveel : Because they probably are.

  Slant : Fine, then let's use the brains that Isha gave us and run away like good little cowards, okay? I mean, there's plenty of action in Savan. High stakes. I could double this in one night, maybe even triple it. We could rent a villa... swim in the sea... Get fat? I've never been fat before! I could give it a try at least once! Why am I doing this? Because you're a yak's rump, that's why. Idiot. Had no sense and never will.
