The Swarm - The Risks of Overconfidence in Safety Measures
Dr. Andrews:
Billions of dollars have been made to make these nuclear plants safe, fail safe! The odds of anything going wrong are astronomical, doctor.
Dr. Hubbard:
I appreciate that, Doctor. But let me ask you. In all your fail-safe techniques, is there a provision for an attack by killer bees?

The Swarm - Nuclear Power and Environmental Threats Discussed
General Slater:
I can tell you right now, we're going to have trouble with that nuclear power plant. No way they'll shut down voluntarily. Millions of people in the area need the energy.
Dr. Hubbard:
If we don't shut em down, the bees will.

The Three Musketeers - Life's Purpose in Unquestioned Duty
Porthos: [On riding with D'artagnan to recover the Queen's diamonds]
May one ask -- delicately -- the cause in which we're expected to die?
Aramis:
When you go on a campaign, does the King give his reasons? He says, "Porthos, fight!" and you fight.
Porthos:
Oh, I do, I do!
Aramis:
Then let's go and be killed where we're told to! Is life worth so many questions?

God's blood!! Look at that! Best Flemish bonnet! Ruined by you and your, your street-corner ruffians! By God, you'll pay for it! Ten pistoles it cost me! : No— twenty! Twenty pistoles! And twenty more, as a fine to teach you manners! Hah! Jussac!

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: [impulsively]
No, four!
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 - A Cold Response to a Golden Inquiry
Porthos: [Of his new golden baldric]
It's gold belting all the way round!
Aramis:
Astonishing! There is enough gold in France to stretch all that distance?
Musketeer:
May I lift the costly cloak to admire the belt more?
Porthos: [hastily]
No, no, sir, your pardon, sir -- I have a cold.
Aramis:
Discretion being the better part of vanity!
Porthos:
I don't understand! I know the one about valor, but I don't agree. I can't agree to be discreet about how valiant I am. Shouldn't be asked.
