Napoleon quotes

[Napoleon, riding his stallion, examines his line of troops and cavalry during his final battle at Waterloo]

Your emperor is with you! You are the brave of Austerlitz! Never surrender, for homeland and glory!

British General
[Cut to the opposing side where the Duke of Wellington and his British armies are preparing for battle]

Shoulder to shoulder, form lines!

British Sergeant

Shoulder to shoulder!

[The British troops all form in several groups with their guns aimed in all directions]

Infantry advance!!!

French General
[The French armies charge towards the advancing British troops]

Keep the line!

British General

Footmen, fire!
[The British troops fire their rifles, causing several French soldiers to fall to the ground as the French charges closer towards the enemy line] ]

French General

Second line, fire!

[The French fire their cannons, knocking down a heavy amount of British troops and barely missing the Duke of Wellington and his cohorts, who are watching the battle from the top of a large hill]

Prepare to charge!!!

French General

CHARGE!!!

British General
[The French armies charge and the British armies charge as well, getting into a huge vicious bloody battle within distance of the Duke of Wellington and the British generals] [To the Duke of Wellington]

Cavalry advance, sir?

Duke of Wellington

Cavalry advance. We must NOT be beat.

British General

Prepare for counter-attack!

Men, enter full support!
[The British cavalry advances, as Napoleon and his cavalry charge to help their men, who are being brutally beaten and slaughtered by British troops] [The French and British cavalries join the battle, and Napoleon quickly realizes, to his horror, that the French are rapidly losing their numbers and chances of beating the enemy. After about a couple minutes of fighting, Napoleon starts to back away from the fight with his horse. The Duke of Wellington, with a spyglass, sees Napoleon contemplating on whether to retreat, or continue his conquest against all odds]

Duke of Wellington

No, he can't help himself.

British General

Sir!! Blucher!!!

Duke of Wellington
[The Duke of Wellington looks towards the west and reacts with relief as he and his men see a rapidly approaching series of armies from Blucher, charging to help the British in the battle.] [Relieved]

Thank God.

French General
[Napoleon watches in shock as his French troops dwindle and as he sees the approaching armies from Russia charging to help the opposing side.]

Your majesty! Your majesty! Come see how massa de la France dines!
[Napoleon immediately turns around to escape the carnage, as a British soldier, with help from a spyglass and rifle, shoots at the French emperor. Napoleon turns around in time to avoid the shot, which grazes off of his big military hat, leaving a hole in it, and rides his horse within a safe distance of the battle. Napoleon then turns around to face the Duke of Wellington with him glaring at his enemy in defiance. The Duke of Wellington gives him a smug look, as if to tell him that he knows Napoleon cannot win and Napoleon knows he can't either. Napoleon's glare turns into a look of respect, and he raises his sword to concede his loss in the conquest.]

Duke of Wellington
[Satisfied]

The battle is mine. There will be an end to the war.

I found the crown of France in the gutter. I picked it up with the tip of my sword and cleaned it, and place it atop my own head.

Those in power only see me as a brute. Unfit for higher office. But I follow in the footsteps of Alexander the Great and Caesar.
