Man in the Iron Mask

Athos:
The next time we meet one of us will die!

Athos:
You have the heart of a king.

Louis:
D'Artagnan, I am not angry with you. I knew you would leave me to them, and so you have. Lay down your sword and I will not punish you. I will let you retire in peace, and I will give your friends a swift execution, if you surrender NOW!

Aramis:
Perhaps you should take his offer. We're dead anyway.

Porthos:
He's right, D'Artagnan.

Phillippe:
Wait. Bargain me to Louis for all your lives. You've done your best. Please let me go.

D'Artagnan:
No, I cannot do it. Even if I could give up my king, I could never give up my son.

Phillippe:
Your son?

D'Artagnan:
I loved your mother. I love her still. You are my son. I never knew you existed. And I never felt pride as a father... until this moment.

Aramis:
D'Artagnan... They're young Musketeers. They've been weaned on our legends. They revere us. It is an advantage.

Porthos:
Yes. Why don't we charge them?

D'Artagnan:
I trained these men. They will fight to the death. But if we must die - if WE must die - let it be like this.

Athos:
One for all. All for one.

Louis:
Shoot!

Lt. Andre:
Magnificent valor...

Queen Anne:
Aramis!

Aramis:
I have come to ask whether you believe that just as one lie can destroy a life, so one truth can make it whole again.

Queen Anne:
I have prayed every day for such a miracle.

Athos:
What happened?

Porthos:
Kidney stones. It hurts when I piss. It hurts when I sh*t. I'm just a fat old fart with nothing to live for anymore. I'm going to hang myself, as soon as I'm sober.

Athos:
No, wait, do not hold your goblet that way. With a king it is so.

Athos:
It is not to be dainty. Servants have touched the King's goblet, so he will touch it as little as possible.

Phillippe:
I am so sorry! Forgive me, I...

Athos:
No! Do not be sorry! Never be sorry! The King cares for nothing and for no one! There are no mistakes when you are King! What you do is right for every person! A King has contempt for everyone!

Phillippe:
Is that the kind of king you wish me to be? Or do you say this because of your son?

Phillippe:
Forgive me, I would never presume...

Athos:
I am not... I am not angry with you. Do you understand? Good. Of course we wish you to be a good king. But first you must pass as Louis, and Louis is cold and cruel. The eyes of this King say that all he cares about is himself. You eyes ask too much. You shouldn't care about me...

Athos:
You mustn't ask about my son...

Athos:
It has everything to do with it. The king is a dog. A dog and a coward.

Aramis:
When I discover the identity of this jesuit rebel, I will kill both him and the man who told me.

Athos:
You're the traitor.

Louis:
You're the new chief advisor. Execute him for distributing rotten food.

Louis:
Of all the wonders I have seen, I've never looked upon anything as beautiful as you.

D'Artagnan:
You are right. It is rotten. I will speak to the King myself. You have my word.

Porthos:
Sorry, my dears. You would have enjoyed it too. He's hung like a donkey.

Wench:
So are you.

Porthos:
Really? He's been asleep for so long, I've forgotten about him.

Aramis:
I have prayed every day for forgiveness. But now I realize that forgiveness must come from you before it can come from God.

Louis:
You think my affairs are empty...

D'Artagnan:
I think that it is possible for one man to love one woman all his life and be the better for it, yes.

Louis:
D'Artagnan, you will hunt down Porthos, Athos, and Aramis, and bring me their heads, or I will have yours. And as for you, my brother, back to the prison you will go, and into the mask you hate. Wear it 'til you love it! And die in it.

Louis:
The next time there are rioters, shoot them.

D'Artagnan:
Anne, to love you is treason against France. But not to love you is treason against my heart.

D'Artagnan:
You are constantly surrounded by beautiful women. Do you love any of them?

Louis:
Quite frequently, actually.

Aramis:
We are offering you the chance to be King.

Phillippe:
No, you are offering me the chance to pretend to be King.

Aramis:
You are surrounded by beauty, by intrigue, by danger, what more can a man want?

D'Artagnan:
Your people are most anxious to love you but they are eating rotten food and frequently none at all.

King Louis XIV:
Riots? But Paris is the most beautiful city in the world. Why would my people feel anything but pride and contentment?

King Louis XIV:
There is more of me to love than a crown.

D'Artagnan:
Anne, I know that to love you is a treason against France, but not to love you is a treason against my heart.

Queen Anne:
Then we will both die traitors, D'Artagnan.

Porthos:
I'd rather die covered in blood than an old man lying in my own piss.

Phillippe:
I wear the mask. It does not wear me.

Aramis:
Sometimes there are more important things in life than a good pair of tits.

Porthos:
Really? If you can name me one thing that is more sublime than the feel of a plump, pink nipple between my lips, I'll build you a new cathedral.

King Louis XIV:
Never underestimate the Dutch!

King Louis XIV:
I may be a young king, but I am king!

Athos:
D'Artagnan, I have never known a finer man than you nor cared more for a friend, but if this king harms my son merely to take a lover, then this king will become my enemy. And so will any man who stands between that enemy and me.

Athos:
What gives you the right to judge me, to play God with the lives of others? Is it because you're so much holier than everyone else?

Aramis:
Well yes, there is that. But also because I'm more intelligent than everyone else.

Athos:
You want me to do the impossible and you want me to do it alone?

Christine:
We will burn in hell for it.

King Louis XIV:
No, no my dear. You will burn in hell. But not I, for I am King... ordained by God!

Queen Anne:
Bless me Father, for I have sinned.

Aramis:
So have I.

Aramis:
I'm a genius, not an engineer.

Aramis:
Athos, if we fail in this - and we probably will - it will be an honor to die beside you.
