K: But you can’t deny that Merlin and Arthur do love each other?
J: No, absolutely.
K: On whatever.. love.. way.. you want to think that. There is no denying.

****

J: Yeah. And I think it’s a purer love than, you, say, had for your sister (!)
K: (tut) You say I had for my sister. Okay. I don’t know how you read into it-
J: No, no. No, we’ll stop there.
K: -we wont.
J: I think it is a love story, it absolutely is a love story.

J: (‘Just hold me’) There you are.
K: (shocked gasp) I can’t believe you put that in!!
J: Well I think it’s.. you know-
K: B-but it’s..
J: -he’s dying… and the man he loves is dying, so he’s holding him. I d-
K: I don’t think that’s what you meant at all when you put that in!
J: It is- ..

J: Destroying Merlin. Sorry. Shattering everyone’s myths about the show, in one commentary.
K: Well, I think, I don’t know that we shattered them, I think may you just confirmed what a lot of people thought.

J: And this is the scene.. where Merlin tells Arthur.
K: Tells Arthur what!?
J: The secret, that he’s carried all this time.
K: What’s the secret?
J: The secret is that he has magic.
K: NO.
J: Which some people say is a sort of metaphor.
K: A metaphor for what!?
J: For his.. you know.. sexuality!
K: ..I don’t think so. I think that it’s entirely-
J: I think that’s read in by them, isn’t it?
K: Um. I think it’s .. entirely what it seems like on screen, Julian. I don’t think you put anything else in there.
J: And Arthur doesn’t react in that way, you know.
K: Well obviously not.
J: If his friend - best friend - had told him that he was - had magic..
K: How should he have reacted?
J: Well he reacts in a sort of emotional and hurt way.
K: Well -
J: You (dont?) have to ask why that is..
K: Well I have to watch it, cause I haven’t seen this. So I don’t know.
J: It’s a very beautiful moment. Between two men.
