View Quote Porthos: Aramis, is this the way to hell?
Aramis: Hell may be our destination, but not this trip.
View Quote Porthos: [he puts the rope around his neck and prepares to jump] Farewell cruel world... farewell to useless Porthos. [jumps]
Athos: [Aramis and Athos are watching the building from the outside] What was that?
Aramis: It's all right; I sawed the beam. [the building promptly collapses, and Athos stares at Aramis in disbelief]
Aramis: Well, I'm a genius, not an engineer! [the pair run over and pull Porthos out of the rubble]
Porthos: [furious] ARAMIS! You did this! You knew I would try hanging myself and you sawed the beam! Admit it! Admit it!
Aramis: Of course I knew! You've been moping around for months! Well maybe now you've gotten the idea of killing yourself out of your head, you can stop boring everyone and be useful for a change! [pause] And put some clothes on!
View Quote [As Philippe, Porthos, Athos and Aramis mourns D'Artagnan's death, Louis tries to stand up. Lt. Andre draws his sword on the latter and pins him in his place, angered over the death of his mentor.]
Lt. Andre: All my life, all I ever wanted to be was him.
[Louis is angered as Andre meant D'Artagnan. Later on, the guards ram the door open and Philippe appears dressed in Louis' clothes. Lt. Andre, Porthos, Athos and Aramis appear in the Musketeers uniform with the real Louis in the iron mask.]
Lt. Andre: We have recaptured the prisoner.
Louis: No. I'm....
[Athos punches him in the neck to silence him. He falls down and Lt. Andre picks him up by the arms.]
Phillippe:(posing as Louis) You'll put this mad man where no one will hear his insanity. Let him be fed by Death Mute. Feed him well and let him find redemption in a tainted place among others. Take him.
[Lt. Andre takes Louis away as he's screaming his real identity. One of the lead guards stare at Porthos, Athos and Aramis.]
Guard: And them?
Phillippe: They are my royal council and truest friends.
