Cardinal Richelieu: You're too late, Musketeers! By now, the Duke of Buckingham's signature is next to mine! The alliance is complete!

Athos: [holds up the treaty document] That would be difficult... considering the treaty never left France!

Cardinal Richelieu: [tries not to react] A minor problem. I will return twice as strong, and the throne will be mine!!

Aramis: [as he fights off the Cardinal's men aboard; facing the Cardinal] I think not! You will never harm another soul ever again. My promise to God!

King Louis: [blocks Aramis; Richelieu smiles but the king punches him into the water] Wait.

King Louis: You have failed!

Cardinal Richelieu: [laughs; heads to throne dais; hands together in prayer, then sits on the throne; flays cape across queen's throne] You are so naive. But things couldn't have gone more perfectly if I'd planned them myself. The King of France dies at the hands of his own personal guards! Grief-stricken, terrified, the huddled masses turn for comfort to their devout spiritual leader... who, ever so humbly, assumes the throne... with a queen by his side.

Queen Anne: I would rather die.

Richelieu: [kicks stool and stands up] That can be arranged!

D'Artagnan: They're shooting at us!

Porthos: [Stands up with a foaming bottle] Champagne?

Athos: We're in the middle of a chase, Porthos!

Porthos: [Goes back down to find a bottle of wine] You're right. Something red.

Porthos: Athos, you cannot fight this boy.

Athos: Why not?

Porthos: I'm fighting him.

D'Artagnan: Not until one o'clock.

Aramis: I have a duel with him, too.

D'Artagnan: Not until two o'clock.

Milady: I don't believe you've suffered the burden of chastity.

Cardinal Richelieu: Perhaps you're right.

Milady: I was making an observation, not an offer.

Cardinal Richelieu: A word of caution, Milady. A snap of my fingers and you could be back on the block where I found you!

Milady: [inches the blade closer; [w:circumcision|change your religion] And with a flick of my wrist... I could ].

Aramis: [to Porthos] Only the wrong words are a complete waste of time. The right words can leave a more lasting impression than a thousand of Porthos kisses.

Barmaid: Not likely.

Aramis: [to barmaid; kisses Barmaid's hand] Shall I demonstrate? As morning hues of sunswept fire caress your passioned face, alone with thee a pure desire to worship untold grace. My soul would cry in silent prayer to an hour swept apart. Your essence warms the evening air as I dance into your heart.

D'Artagnan: Shakespeare.

Aramis: Aramis.

Porthos: Fleeting.

Barmaid: It was beautiful.

Aramis: [Barmaid gets up and kisses Aramis] Oh, thank you.

King Louis: [honoring a kneeling D'Artagnan] This world is an uncertain realm, filled with danger. Honor undermined by the pursuit of power, freedom sacrificed when the weak are oppressed by the strong. But there are those who oppose these powerful forces, who dedicate their lives to truth, honor and freedom. These men are known as Musketeers. Rise, D'Artagnan, and join them.

Cardinal Richelieu: [placing a bounty on the Three Musketeers] One thousand gold pieces on each of their heads, dead or alive...I prefer dead!

Cardinal Richelieu: [about MiLady DeWinter] A remarkable woman. The most beautiful I've ever known... and the deadliest. Which would explain my attraction.

Aramis: [awakes after being supposedly shot and killed by the Cardinal. He sees his hidden crucifix had stopped the bullet] See? There is a God.

Aramis: [finds Richelieu's hidden treasure chest in his carriage] Is he a man of God or a man of gold?

Porthos: Rochefort. Isn't that a smelly kind of cheese?

Porthos: [to D'Artagnan] You, boy, are arrogant, hot-tempered and entirely too bold. I like that. It reminds me of me.
