Dialogue

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: Shall I demonstrate? [to barmaid] 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. [kisses Barmaid's hand] D'Artagnan: Shakespeare. Aramis: Aramis. Porthos: Fleeting. Barmaid: It was beautiful. Aramis: Oh, thank you. [Barmaid gets up and kisses Aramis]

Dialogue

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

Dialogue

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.

Dialogue

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

Dialogue

King Louis: You have failed! Cardinal Richelieu: [laughs] 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! [heads to throne dais] Grief-stricken, terrified, the huddled masses turn for comfort to their devout spiritual leader... [hands together in prayer, then sits on the throne] who, ever so humbly, assumes the throne... [flays cape across queen's throne] with a queen by his side. Queen Anne: I would rather die. Richelieu: [kicks stool and stands up] That can be arranged!

Dialogue

Cardinal Richelieu: You're too late, Musketeers! By now, the Duke of Buckingham's signature is next to mine! The alliance is complete! Athos: That would be difficult...[holds up the treaty document] 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: I think not! [as he fights off the Cardinal's men aboard] You will never harm another soul ever again. [facing the Cardinal] My promise to God! King Louis: [blocks Aramis] Wait. [Richelieu smiles but the king punches him into the water]
