A scene from Waterloo (1970)
Napoleon Bonaparte

Well they've done it! The whole of Europe has declared war against me! Not against France, but against me.

Le Bedoyere

They dignify you sire by making you a Nation!

Napoleon Bonaparte
[laughing]

Dignify? Dignify? They deny me the decency of law! They make it legal that any clown can kill me.

Michel Ney

Well we've fought with mud in our boots before!

Napoleon Bonaparte

Yes well, I'll discuss peace over Wellington's dead body, that's my peace table!

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. Napoleon Bonaparte When I am dead and gone what will the world say of me? Le Bedoyere They'll say that you extended the limits of glory, sire. Napoleon Bonaparte The limits of glory'; is that all I have to leave to my son, the 'limits of glory'?
