Let me tell you something about this...inconvenient gentleman of yours. His name is Rochefort. He's the Cardinal's living blade, and he is deadly. And, as for this Rochefort, if you see him walking on the other side of the road one day, don't bother to cross it, that's all.

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?
Athos You're a liar. It's the smallpox.
Doctor
One sees that immediately...
Athos Don't pretend you know one from the other -- or that it would make any difference to your treatment if you did!
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!
Athos How long have you been in Paris?
Since eight o'clock this morning.
Athos You waste little time, sir!
My father recommended I fight duels.
Athos [laughs]
Well, let us hope you can do him some credit!
Jussac [Our heroes have been surprised by the Cardinal's Guard about to begin a duel]
Ah! Musketeers! Dueling in defiance of the Edicts!
Athos This is a private matter, sir, will you please be on your way?
Jussac We have a duty to suppress disorder and arrest brawlers: put up your swords and come along with us, eh?
Athos Impossible!
Unthinkable!
Unlikely...
Jussac Then, we must charge you!
You're not one of us!
Athos This is not your affair, boy.
I may not have the tunic, but I have the heart of a Musketeer!
Jussac Young man, you may retire -- save your skin, and quickly!
D'artagnan.
Very well. Athos, Porthos, Aramis and D'artagnan -- Swords!
