You're pretty tall, but you're not 6'11".

I agree.

They've done a great job with that.

And I think I like what you're saying a lot about the perspective and rooting us in Dunk's experience and through his eyes.

And like one of the passages in the book, and this is incorporated into the conversation he has with Lionel, where it's like, what chance do I have?

And Lionel gives that great, beautiful.

no chance.

It's a great honor to test yourself.

Dunk was strong and quick.

This is from The Hedge Knight.

And his weight and reach were in his favor, but he did not believe for a moment that his skills were the equal of these others.

And so you have him voicing a version of that, but to your point, you feel it in every step he takes throughout the episode.

When he's talking to Raymond and Raymond is like,

yeah, I'm a squire.

And Dunk gives him that look up and down.

He's like, you fight pretty well for a squire.

Now that comes from the text where Dunk is like, well, if he's a squire, what business do I have being a knight?

Like one of us is a fool.

But he doesn't need to, even though, as we said, like a lot of lines are pulled directly from the text.

He doesn't literally need to voice every beat of internal monologue for us to understand.
