Daniel Sharman: Lír
Quotes
-
General Eeder : [of Eriu] I would like her beaten, please, and then killed.
Eremon : Of course, my lord.
General Eeder : And when she's quite dead, beat her again.
Eremon : We will be merciless, my lord.
Lír : I volunteer to be beaten in her place!
Eriu : Be quiet, Lír!
Lír : I will not.
Lír : [to the general] Look at this beautiful face. Is this not the face of a man who deserves to be beaten? I can't imagine looking at your face. The least you can do is have a few good swings at this masterpiece that stands before you. Why waste your time beating this... imp?

[she clears her throat, which he mimics]

Eriu : [to Evie, introducing Lír] Lír's family are the protectors of the Scepter of Truth. Such close proximity for so long has made Lír unable to lie, which, mixed with a staggering vanity, makes for a rough conversation.
Lír : I'm not vain.
Eriu : [scoffs]
Lír : I'm simply aware that I'm usually the most striking individual in any assorted company.
[looking Evie over]
Lír : And the present is not excluded.
Evie : Holy wow. Is he for real?
Lír : Of course I'm real. Do you suspect me to be some sort of ghost?
Lír : [to Eriu] Is she a half-wit?
Evie : [to Eriu] I really don't like him.
