A scene from The Three Musketeers 1973

Porthos

[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.

Porthos

Oh, I do, I do!

Aramis

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

Sea Captain But this pass is only for one person. D'artagnan I am only one person. [Indicating Planchet] This is a servant! Sea Captain I see. All right. Milady Your Eminence is a great player -- great enough to lose. I do not like to lose. Richelieu You must suit yourself, Milady. But if, at the end, you should -- do it with a becoming grace. D'Artagnan Forgive me, madam, but I must kill your friend.
