Menelaus quotes from Troy (2004)

Menelaus

I accept your challenge, and tonight, I'll drink to your bones.

Menelaus

IS THIS WHAT YOU LEFT ME FOR?!?

Menelaus

May the Gods keep the wolves in the hills and the women in our beds!

Menelaus

See the crows? They've never tasted Prince before.

Menelaus

Prince? What prince? What son of a king would accept a man's hospitality, eat his food, drink his wine, embrace him in friendship, then steal his wife in the middle of the night?!

Paris

The sun was shining when your wife left you.

Menelaus

She's up there watching, isn't she? Good. I want her to watch you die.

Agamemnon

Not yet, brother. Look around you, Hector. I brought all the warriors of Greece to your shores.

Nestor

You can still save Troy, young prince.

Agamemnon

I have two wishes. If you grant them, no more of your people need die. First, you must give Helen back to my brother. Second, Troy must submit to my command, to fight for me whenever I call.

Hector

You want me to look upon your army and tremble? Well I see them. I see 50,000 men brought here to fight for one man's greed.

Agamemnon

Careful boy, my mercy has limits.

Hector

And I've seen the limits of your mercy, and I tell you now: no son of Troy will ever submit to a foreign ruler.

Agamemnon

Then every son of Troy... shall die!

Menelaus

I want her back.

Agamemnon

Well, of course you do. She's a beautiful woman.

Menelaus

I want her back so I can kill her with my own two hands. I won't rest until I've burned Troy to the ground.
