You've had your fun, my friend. Do I know you?

Uh, I'm Merlin.

So I don't know you?

No. Yet you called me friend.

That was my mistake.

Yes, I think so.

Yeah.

I'd never have a friend who could be such an ass.

Look, I've told you you're an ass.

I just didn't realise you were a royal one.

I warn you, I've been trained to kill since birth.

Wow.

How long have you been training to be a prat?

You can't address me like that.

Sorry.

How long have you been training to be a prat?

My lord.

No. No way.

No. No. There must be another Arthur because this one's an idiot.

How could you know?

Yeah.

All right.

You finally found out.

I'll tell you.

I'm psychic.

No, you're not.

What else do your powers tell you?

That's...

I am only one side of a coin.

The brightest side, obviously.

That's disgusting.

You should be ashamed of yourself.

You're old enough to be her grandfather.

Meldon, you're alive.

We're supposed to be hunting.

It requires speed, stealth, and an agile mind.

So you're able to get by in two out of three, then?

And let that be a lesson to you!

If this was a time of war, I would have you flogged.

And since it's not, we'll let it go just this once.

Why does he call me Emerus?

Because that is your name.

I'm pretty sure my name's Merlin, always has been.

I had no idea he's so keen to die for me.

Trust me, I can hardly believe it myself.

I'm in any natural gifts, Merlin.

Look, what do we think?

I'm not naturally rude or insensitive.

I sometimes wonder if you know who I am.

Oh, I know who you are.

Good.

You're a prat. And a royal one.

You can be a beater on the hunt.

We're short of a man or two.

Here.

You'll need a beater.

Oh, sorry.

You ball clums, how do you work at it?

It's just one of my many gifts.

You'd rather be a servant.

Better to serve a good man than to rule with an evil one.

All my life, I've been treated as if I'm special.

I just want to be treated like everyone else.

Really?

I have no idea how lucky you are.

Well, any time you want to sort places, just let me know.

Imagine you're really arrogant.

Knights like to think they're so much better than everyone else.

It's not arrogance.

Ignore him.

He's an idiot.

A knight.

Where do you get the idea you can sit around all day doing nothing?

Do you think I sit around and do nothing?

I've never had any chance to sit around and do nothing since the day I arrived in Camelot.

I'm too busy running around after Arthur.

Do this Merlin, do that Merlin, and I'm not running around after Arthur.

I'm doing chores for you, and if I'm not doing that, I'm fulfilling my destiny.

Do you know how many times I've saved Arthur's life?

I've lost count.

Do I get any thanks?

No. I have four griffins.

Witches, bandits, I have been punched, poisoned, pelted with fruit, and all the while I have to hide where I really am,

because if anyone finds out, they still have me executed.

Sometimes I feel like I'm being pulled in so many directions, I don't know which way to turn.

Tell me, what does he like to work for?

Between you and me?

Can't be a bit of a prop.

Take a bit of advice from someone who knows about women.

If such a person existed, I would.

What did you do?

I said distract them, not knock them out.

There's just no pleasing you sometimes.

You didn't know if they were?

Not for sure.

Now you tell me?

Oh, what's that wilderness eating?

It's all right.

It's just Merlin.

100

I wasn't going to say anything.

101

You were going to say it.

102

I told you so.

103

Okay.

104

I was.

105

But I'm not going to now.

106

If it didn't take to it, well.

107

Oh, you see, I told you...

108

Sorry.

109

If you say, I told you so...

110

I wasn't going to.

111

I wouldn't.

112

But it's true that if you had listened to me earlier, then...

113

Sorry.

114

The boy has clearly concocted these lies in the hope of saving his master.

115

Then you won't mind if we search a chamber.

116

Silence!

117

You have no authority here.

118

If we weren't sure, Emel Gose was a sorcerer before, we can be certain of it now.

119

That must have been how she defeated me.

120

She was using magic.

121

It didn't look like she was.

122

This isn't enough.

123

We've got to keep you in shape.

124

I'm fighting fit.

125

But we want to keep you that way.

126

Merlin!

127

If I need a servant in the next life...

128

Don't ask me!

129

So that means you can tell me?

130

Well, that's true, but you see, if you weren't a prince, I'd tell you to mind your own damn business.

131

Well, I've got to quite like you.

132

Yeah?

133

Now I realise you're not as big a fool as you look.

134

I feel the same.

135

Now that I realise you're not as arrogant as you sound.

136

Merlin, chances are I'm going to die.

137

Yeah, you probably would if I wasn't there.

138

Right.

139

You still think I'm arrogant?

140

No. More supercilious.

141

That's a big word, Merlin.

142

You sure you know what it means?

143

Condescending.

144

Very good.

145

Patronising.

146

It doesn't quite mean that.

147

No, these are other things you are.

148

It's your little bottom sore.

149

Yes.

150

It's not as fat as yours.

151

All you have to do is wipe it.

152

How would you know?

153

I beg your pardon, Merlin.

154

Just you've never had to do it.

155

I'm going to make you pay for that.

156

I'd like to see you try.

157

Ah, so Darian.

158

He's here for the melee.

159

She could do better than that.

160

What, she should be setting her sights higher?

161

Oh, but I forget.

162

She can't.

163

A girl of Gwen's standing?

164

Now, she can never consort with a nobleman.

165

That's the rules.

166

Merlin.

167

Shut up.

168

You guessed it.

169

You're saying I look like a toad.

170

Yeah.

171

Maybe one day you'll magically transform into a handsome prince.

172

Just magic's outlaw.

173

That'll probably never happen.

174

Come on, let's go.

175

All right, maybe I should give you some kind of reward.

176

What do you want?

177

Some peace and quiet.

178

Perhaps you've more in common than you think.

179

Or bad breath, for example.

180

Excuse me.

181

Pulling table manners.

182

Er, now hang on a minute.

183

Good sense of humour.

184

No, no, you're right, you've nothing in common.

185

Merlin!

186

What kept you?

187

Do not leave me again.

188

You were riding so fast that time, I thought you were eager for some time alone.

189

Nobody likes a clever clogs, Merlin.

190

Grunhilde has shown a certain interest toward me.

191

She likes you?

192

Oh, that is disgusting.

193

Imagine if...

194

Imagine if she kissed you.

195

Oh, Merlin!

196

Sir, I don't understand.

197

How can you not be afraid of pain?

198

I am afraid of pain.

199

There's just not going to be any.

200

Right, so you go into some sort of trance.

201

I am supposed to be doing this alone.

202

Do you want us to help you?

203

Or do you want to do this alone?

204

Merlin!

205

Cheer up, will you?

206

I was punching me in the arm meant to cheer me up.

207

It works with the knights.

208

Well, they're thick, aren't they?

209

I'm a knight.

210

There you go, then.

211

Have I wronged you in some way, old man?

212

You have wronged so many people. In so many ways.

213

You're blinded by a hatred of magic.

214

You have tortured and executed innocent people.

215

You, Uther Pendragon, are a stupid, arrogant old tyrant!

216

Do you have any idea what it's like to live with a man who constantly thinks he's the best?

217

Hmm. Must be irritating.

218

I was beginning to hope you'd forgotten me.

219

I don't think so.

220

I won that game, did I not?

221

No, you didn't.

222

One more minute.

223

One more minute and you both would have been dead.

224

Neither of you won.

225

Your plan was a half -baked disaster.

226

And if it was not for that fire, we would all be pushing up daisies.

227

Merlin, there aren't many servants who get the chance to write a prince's speech.

228

Obviously, it would be too much for you to say thank you.

229

The last one.

230

Maybe we should draw lots so you get some more.

231

I'll go.

232

I'll go with him.

233

You sure you're the right person?

234

When have you known how to collect firewood?

235

You're meant to be.. dying.

236

Sorry.

237

I'm really looking forward to it.

238

Because you have the mind of a child.

239

And yet I'm still more intelligent than you.

240

I heard that.

241

I broke a pot.

242

So if you haven't come all this way to kill me, why have you come here?

243

I take it you didn't come all this way just to smash my favourite pot?

244

Arthur's right about you.

245

You don't have to do this at all But I have

246

No, you can use Merlin's you'll just have to walk back

247

you would make your servant walk back to come a lot I have a good mind not to help you

248

Did you just kick me now who's wasting time yeah

249

Now just wait here one moment Why?

250

Questions, so many questions.

251

For once in your life would you just do what you're told?

252

All right.

253

You're a hero.

254

Thank you, Merlin.

255

Not to me.

256

To your people.

257

Right.

258

You think different.

259

Maybe I know something they don't. Which is?

260

You know.

261

What's your cabbage head?

262

Couldn't do me a favour, could you?

263

Let Arthur know.

264

He still thinks of me as an underachiever, but I'm quite proud of those accomplishments.

265

I can die.

266

Happy.

267

Will that do the job?

268

Oh, yes, that will do the job nicely.

269

What is the job, is actually?

270

To kill Arthur.

271

Driving you mad, is he?

272

Not for much longer.

273

Don't do that again, Merlin.

274

My heart cannot take the strain.

275

Yes, well, you are getting on a bit.

276

You stink worse than your food.

277

What is this?

278

It's a special welcome home.

279

Your favourite.

280

I think that you should stick to cooking up potions, guys.

281

This tastes like the bog Arthur found me in.

282

Look, I know you like to take every opportunity to be by your side, but this is just getting ridiculous.

283

You'll be pouring his bath water next.

284

Raelan, are you all right?

285

I'm pacing.

286

Yes, I can see that.

287

A man who is all right does not pace, Gaius.

288

Sometimes two heads are better than one.

289

Yes, but not when one of them's yours.

290

Are you threatening the life of our king?

291

Pass him off!

292

That is a sword, it does hurt.

293

But if you don't let me go, then there is every chance that I will kill your king!

294

Say that again.

295

Why have you got ale in your ears?

296

I'd have to think about that one.

297

Well, don't think too hard.

298

I wouldn't want you to hurt yourself.

299

Merlin.

300

Fancy me seeing you here.

301

What the hell are you doing creeping around in the woods?

302

I'm following you.

303

What the hell are you doing creeping around in the woods?

304

The man who freed it, which unite the land of Albi and rule over the greatest kingdom the world has ever known.

305

That man is you, Arthur.

306

You're making this up.

307

Why would I do that?

308

Your head's already as big as your waist.

309

Merlin, is there anything you're actually capable of doing?

310

Putting up with you?

311

You know, if Magani doesn't kill you, I will.

312

Learning your king is treason, Merlin.

313

I'm about threatening an ass.

314

Heard that.

315

Merlin, I've always known you were stupid, but not that stupid.

316

No, I really am that stupid, and if you don't believe me, watch.

317

Merlin!

318

What are you doing?

319

Nothing.

320

Thinking.

321

You thinking?

322

Well, now I'm really getting worried.

323

Some people still think you're a foolish, arrogant ass. Who?

324

Sorry.

325

Infortunate I'm not easily frightened.

326

Really?

327

Because it looked like you jumped out of your skin.

328

Who are you?

329

What kind of a dumb fool question is that?

330

I am who I am and I am who I was and I am who I will always be.

331

That's no answer.

332

What other answer is there?

333

And mischief means theft.

334

No, it doesn't.

335

And theft means my pies.

336

Your pies?

337

Why on earth would anyone want to steal your godforsaken pies?

338

My...

339

I'm visiting the cells, as you perfectly well know.

340

No, you're not.

341

Unless we say so, you're not.

342

But you already said so.

343

Only ten minutes ago you said so.

344

You said so and I did so.

345

We didn't.

346

What on earth is wrong with you?

347

Something interesting in your tea is there?

348

It's hardly any wonder your prisoners are being murdered.

349

If you can't even remember who you're letting in and who you're letting out, you're letting me in.

350

And I thank you for that.

351

And now, apparently, I have to let myself out.

352

Ah!

353

Goodbye.

354

What would you know about the king and my dumplings?

355

Oh, good grief.

356

Should have done that years ago.

357

Who are you?

358

My name is Daigo.

359

How'd you get in here?

360

It wasn't difficult.

361

Really?

362

Get out.

363

I think they mean to kill the king.

364

If I hadn't had my suspicions, I wouldn't have followed you.

365

Merlin acting strangely.

366

Are you the Dolma?

367

Ancient sorceress of the Cauldron of Arrynrod?

368

Who else would I be?

369

Aren't you forgetting something?

370

I don't think so.

371

The boy?

372

Ah.

373

Ah.

374

Of course, I thought everything had gone unusually smoothly.

375

That boy was your surety, great king.

376

Without him, your queen would still be lost.

377

Not sure that's quite true.

378

And I say it is.

379

Yeah.

380

And this one too, ready?

381

I think my dog can catch better than you.

382

Possibly because you treat him better.

383

Yeah, we all caught something.

384

Including Merlin.

385

What does he catch?

386

A cold.

387

If you learn to track, you'd enjoy it more.

388

I'm the best tracker here.

389

There's no disgrace for a servant to lose to his king.

390

Or a king to his servant.

391

Well.

392

You put me off.

393

What are you talking about?

394

You just coughed.

395

It's clear in my throat.

396

You just coughed deliberately.

397

Ah.

398

I knew you'd discover my secret in the end.

399

There is just no fooling you, my lord.

400

All right.

Wat is de Shadowing-techniek?

Shadowing is een wetenschappelijk onderbouwde taalleermethode die oorspronkelijk is ontwikkeld voor professionele tolkentraining en gepopulariseerd door polyglot Dr. Alexander Arguelles. De methode is eenvoudig maar krachtig: je luistert naar native Engelse audio en herhaalt het onmiddellijk hardop — als een schaduw die de spreker volgt met slechts 1–2 seconden vertraging. In tegenstelling tot passief luisteren of grammaticadrills, dwingt shadowing je hersenen en mondspieren om echte spraakpatronen tegelijkertijd te verwerken en te reproduceren. Onderzoek toont aan dat het de uitspraaknauwkeurigheid, intonatie, ritme, verbonden spraak, luisterbegrip en spreekvaardigheid aanzienlijk verbetert — waardoor het een van de meest effectieve methoden is voor IELTS Speaking-voorbereiding en echte Engelse communicatie.
