Stupid Cupid
"There’s a damsel in distress down in the forest meadow."
"What sort of distress?"
"Does it matter? You’re a prince and Camelot's champion knight, aren’t you going to hurry down to rescue her?"
"Merlin, I'm just asking-"
"Ehm... I think she maybe stubbed her toe?"
"Are you joking?"
"No, no, she's got a sprained ankle. Yes, that's it."
"I give you leave to go down and help her yourself."
"Arthur, she really, really needs you. You, in particular."
"Merlin, get out."
"You’re not asking the right questions!"
"Such as-"
"Her name?"
"Well, what's her name?"
"Gwen."
"Ah. Right. I’m off."
