5 quotes Porthos Porthos We're in a tomb?
Porthos I am Porthos! I defy the king!
Porthos I'd rather die covered in blood than an old man lying in my own piss.
Porthos If you can name me one thing, one single thing, that is more sublime than a plump pink nipple between my lips... I will build you a new cathedral.
Scenes with Porthos
5 scenes Porthos Aramis, is this the way to hell?
Hell may be our destination, but not this trip.
Louis has ordered me to discover the true identity of the General of the Jesuit order and to kill him.
Porthos You should let the secret general worry about that.
Problem is that I am he.
Porthos [he puts the rope around his neck and prepares to jump]
Farewell cruel world... farewell to useless Porthos. [jumps]
It's all right; I sawed the beam. [the building promptly collapses, and Athos stares at Aramis in disbelief]
Well, I'm a genius, not an engineer! [the pair run over and pull Porthos out of the rubble]
Porthos [furious]
ARAMIS! You did this! You knew I would try hanging myself and you sawed the beam! Admit it! Admit it!
Of course I knew! You've been moping around for months! Well maybe now you've gotten the idea of killing yourself out of your head, you can stop boring everyone and be useful for a change! [pause] And put some clothes on!
Perhaps you should take his offer. We're dead anyway.
Porthos He's right, D'Artagnan.
Wait. Bargain me to Louis for all your lives. You've done your best. Please let me go.
No, I cannot do it. Even if I could give up my king, I could never give up my son.
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.
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?
I trained these men. They will fight to the death. But if we must die - if we must die - let it be like this.
[He draws his sword and points it at the floor. Aramis, Porthos, and Athos, join their swords with his]
One for all. All for one.
