A line from King Louis [honoring a kneeling D'Artagnan]

This world is an uncertain realm, filled with danger. Honor undermined by the pursuit of power, freedom sacrificed when the weak are oppressed by the strong. But there are those who oppose these powerful forces, who dedicate their lives to truth, honor and freedom. These men are known as Musketeers. Rise, D'Artagnan, and join them.

King Louis

Your Eminence, I demand an answer.

Perhaps if I knew the question...

King Louis

I've just learned that you've disbanded my Musketeers.

You... approved the decision.

King Louis

But not the timing. I intended to address the men myself and explain the situation. These men are not just my personal guards, they are my friends.

[smiling]

A thousand apologies, your majesty.

King Louis

You have failed

[laughs]

You are so naive. But things couldn't have gone more perfectly if I'd planned them myself. The King of France dies at the hands of his own personal guards! [heads to throne dais] Grief-stricken, terrified, the huddled masses turn for comfort to their devout spiritual leader. [hands together in prayer, then sits on the throne] Who, ever so humbly, assumes the throne...with a queen by his side.

Queen Anne

I would rather die.

[kicks stool and stands up]

That can BE ARRANGED!

The Duke of Buckingham plans to invade La Rochelle within the month. I thought it best... to act quickly.

King Louis

I will be the judge of what is best! For me, and for France!
