Emperor To my dear Prince Alexis... I did not "usurp" the crown. I found it, in the gutter, and I, I picked it up with my sword, and it was the people, Alexis, the people who put it on my head. He who saves a nation violates no law.
King Louis XVIII I know you loved this man.
Michel Ney I did, once. But I promise you, that I will bring him back to Paris in an iron cage. [exits]
King Louis XVIII How they exaggerate, these soldiers, "In an iron cage"? Nobody asked for that.
Napoleon Bonaparte Cross the river. Tomorrow we will dry our boots in Brussels.
Michel Ney God willing, sire.
Napoleon Bonaparte God? God has nothing to do with it.
