[Of his new golden baldric]

It's gold belting all the way 'round!

Aramis

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.

Aramis

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.

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

But not 'til one o'clock!

Aramis

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!

Jussac
[Our heroes have been surprised by the Cardinal's Guard about to begin a duel]

Ah! Musketeers! Dueling in defiance of the Edicts!

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?

Impossible!

Unthinkable!

Aramis

Unlikely...

Jussac

Then, we must charge you!

Aramis
[The Cardinal's Guardsmen all draw]

There are six of them, and we are only three!

[impulsively]

No, four!

You're not one of us!

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!

Aramis
[D'artagnan shakes his head]

What's your name, young man?

D'artagnan.

Aramis

Very well. Athos, Porthos, Aramis and D'artagnan -- Swords!

[Portos' lovely hat has been sliced in half in fighting the Cardinal's Guard]

God's blood!! Look at that...! Ruined by you and your, your street-corner ruffians! By God, you'll pay for it! [Rifles the purse of a fallen Guardsman] Ten pistoles it cost me! :[Reconsiders on seeing the contents of the purse] No— twenty! Twenty pistoles! And twenty more, as a fine to teach you manners! Hah! Jussac!

Jussac

Thief!

What!

Aramis

There, there! Charity is one of the cardinal virtues!

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

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

Aramis

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

Oh, I do, I do!

Aramis

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