Buckingham

If anyone should try to follow us, would you be so good as to kill him? Thank you.

Cardinal's Guard
[D'Artagnan has just torn a carpet in an attempt to trip the guards]

He's torn our carpet!

M. Bonancieux

Well, I don't want to be sent to the Bastille, me, because it's got very deep dungeons and terrible instruments of torture, operated by very unsympathetic men! And they snip very important parts off people!

Partygoer
[Of the wine fountain at the King's soirée]

Keep going, Reggie, it's filling up!

Rochefort
[to d'Artagnan]

If you were a gentleman, I would speak to you. I was speaking at you.

Beggar

Money for a blind man...mo --oof! [Constance has blundered into him] Watch where you're goin', darlin'...all right, dear. [D'artangan passes by] Money for a cripple...money for a cripple...money for a cripple... [D'artagnan is gone and Planchet follows] Money for a cripple? Money for a cripple??

Planchet

Me? Not your day, is it?

Beggar

Money for an orphan???

Buckingham
[showing the diamond studs]

O'Reilly -- put a price on these: each one, their worth.

O'Reilly

Oh, umm...not English. Not English, no. I'd say...ah...five hundred pounds.

Buckingham

How long to make two of them?

O'Reilly

Oh, ah, um, oooh...a week?

Buckingham

I'll pay you five thousand pounds each if they're finished the day after tomorrow!

O'Reilly

Done!

Milady

Your Eminence is a great player -- great enough to lose. I do not like to lose.

You must suit yourself, Milady. But if, at the end, you should -- do it with a becoming grace.

[Of his new golden baldric]

It's gold belting all the way 'round!

Astonishing! There is enough gold in France to stretch all that distance?

Musketeer

May I lift the costly cloak to admire the belt more?

[hastily]

No, no, sir, your pardon, sir -- I have a cold.

Discretion being the better part of vanity!

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.

[On riding with D'artagnan to recover the Queen's diamonds]

May one ask -- delicately -- the cause in which we're expected to die?

When you go on a campaign, does the King give his reasons? He says, "Porthos, fight!" and you fight.

Oh, I do, I do!

Then let's go and be killed where we're told to! Is life worth so many questions?

Are you fighting this, ah, fellow? But I'm fighting him myself!

But not 'til one o'clock!

Oh, no, no, no, I'm fighting him this afternoon!

At two o'clock, sir!

How long have you been in Paris?

Since eight o'clock this morning.

You waste little time, sir!

My father recommended I fight duels.

[laughs]

Well, let us hope you can do him some credit!

Do you know your accuser? Who brought you here?

M. Bonacieux
[pointing at Rochefort]

That! That is the man!

Take him away!

M. Bonacieux

That is not the man! It was another man altogether!!!

If I had blundered as you do, my head would fall.

Rochefort

I would say, from a greater height than mine, Your Eminence.

Doctor
[Athos is having his shoulder wound treated]

It's a very clean sword-thrust. A souvenir of the Cardinal's Guard, eh, M. Athos?

You're a liar. It's the smallpox.

Doctor

One sees that immediately...

Don't pretend you know one from the other -- or that it would make any difference to your treatment if you did!

Sea Captain
[D'artagnan has relieved Rochefort of his pass to England]

But this pass is only for one person.

I am only one person. [Indicating Planchet] This is a servant!

Sea Captain

I see. All right.
