The Adventures of Baron Munchausen
Discussion of a Nuclear Missile Prototype
Baron Munchausen What's this?
Vulcan Oh, this is our prototype. RX, uh, Intercontinental, radar-sneaky, multi-warheaded nuclear missile.
Baron Munchausen Ah! What does it do?
Vulcan Do? Kills the enemy.
Baron Munchausen All the enemy?
Vulcan Aye, all of them. All their wives, and all their children, and all their sheep, and all their cattle, and all their cats and dogs. All of them. All of them gone for good.
Sally That's horrible.
Vulcan Ahh. Well, you see, the advantage is you don't have to see one single one of them die. You just sit comfortably thousands of miles away from the battlefield and simply press the button.
Berthold Well, where's the fun in that?

Gladiator
Proximo's Dark Declaration of Intent
Proximo I am Proximo! I will be closer to you in these next few days, which will be the last days of your miserable lives, than that bitch of a mother who first brought you screaming into this world! I did not pay good money for your company, I paid it so I could profit from your deaths! And just as your mother was there at your beginning, so I shall be there at your end. And when you die — and die you shall — your transition will be to the sound of … Gladiators, I salute you.

Confrontation Between Musketeers and Authority
Jussac Ah! Musketeers! Dueling in defiance of the Edicts!
Athos This is a private matter, sir, will you please be on your way?
Jussac We have a duty to suppress disorder and arrest brawlers: put up your swords and come along with us, eh?
Athos Impossible!
Porthos Unthinkable!
Aramis Unlikely...
Jussac Then, we must charge you!
Aramis There are six of them, and we are only three!
D'artagnan No, four!
[impulsively]
Porthos You're not one of us!
Athos This is not your affair, boy.
D'artagnan I may not have the tunic, but I have the heart of a Musketeer!
Jussac Young man, you may retire -- save your skin, and quickly!
Aramis What's your name, young man?
D'artagnan D'artagnan.
Aramis Very well. Athos, Porthos, Aramis and D'artagnan -- Forward!

The Three Musketeers
Warning About a Dangerous Adversary
Athos Let me tell you something about this...inconvenient gentleman of yours. His name is Rochefort. He's the Cardinal's living blade, and he is deadly. And, as for this Rochefort, if you see him walking on the other side of the road one day, don't bother to cross it, that's all.

Gladiator
Winning the Crowd for Freedom
Maximus You ask me what I want. I, too, want to stand before the Emperor as you did.
Proximo Then listen to me. Learn from me. I wasn't the best because I killed quickly. I was the best because the crowd loved me. Win the crowd, and you will win your freedom.
Maximus I will win the crowd. I will give them something they have never seen before.

Condorman
Unexpected Reunion and Mission Update
Krokov Hello, Natalia. Welcome home.
[turns on the lamp]
Natalia Sergei. I didn't expect you.
Krokov I'm sure you didn't, my dear. Nor did I expect you to travel to Istanbul to meet our American friend.
Natalia As I was going to tell you about. The meeting was supposed to be a civilian operation, eh? They sent a *top* agent. He was good.
Natalia Very smooth. And very tough. Almost as tough as you, Sergei.
Krokov And his name? Surely, when you were finding out how... tough... and how smooth he was, you found out his name?
Natalia He called himself Condorman.
Krokov Condorman? Quaint. But he is good. The way he handled those tree turks was impressive. But, you were stupid to be seen by a Chinese agent. And I cannot afford costly mistakes. Oh, my dear Natalia, that is why I have changed my mind about talking you with me to Monte Carlo. You need to be... re-educated, on the, teachings, of our masters.

The Three Musketeers
Miscommunication in Medical Diagnosis
Doctor It's a very clean sword-thrust. A souvenir of the Cardinal's Guard, eh, M. Athos?
Athos You're a liar. It's the smallpox.
Doctor One sees that immediately...
Athos Don't pretend you know one from the other -- or that it would make any difference to your treatment if you did!

Condorman
Krokov's Disdain for Condorman's Identity
Krokov Have you seen this report on this Condorman? Or this man Wilkins? He is an AMATEUR, do you hear? He is NOT an agent of the CIA! He is a WRITER OF COMIC BOOKS!
