Quotes 

• Adhemar : You have been weighed, you have been measured, and you have been found wanting. In what world could you possibly beat me?

• Adhemar : And how would you beat him?

  Retired Knight : With a stick. While he slept. But on a horse, with a lance? That man is unbeatable.

• Adhemar : You have been weighed, you have been measured, and you have been found wanting. Come back when you're worthy.

• Adhemar : Your armor, sir.

  William : What about it?

  Adhemar : How stylish of you to joust in an antique. You'll start a new fashion if you win. My grandfather will be able to wear his in public again, and a shield, how quaint.

  [William rides off] 

  Adhemar : Some of these poor country knights, little better then peasants.

• Adhemar : Why didn't Ulrich finish him?

  Jocelyn : He shows mercy.

  Adhemar : Then he shows his weakness - that is all mercy is.

• Adhemar : And you are?

  William : Well, I am, um.

  Adhemar : You've forgotten, or your name is Sir Um?

  William : Ulrich von Lichtenstein from Gelderland.

  Adhemar : Well, I'd forget as well, what a mouthful.
