Three Musketeers, The (1993) quotes

View Quote Aramis: [to Porthos] Only the wrong words are a complete waste of time. The right words can leave a more lasting impression than a thousand of Porthos' kisses.
Barmaid: Not likely.
Aramis: Shall I demonstrate? [to barmaid] As morning hues of sunswept fire caress your passioned face, alone with thee a pure desire to worship untold grace.

View Quote D'Artagnan: [after Athos removes his cloak] You're a Musketeer? [Porthos and Aramis remove their cloaks] You're all Musketeers?
Athos: You choose your opponents well, or should I say foolishly.
D'Artagnan: I've been looking all over for you.
Athos: And now you've found us. We have some business to attend to, unless of course you'd like to make it for a later date.
D'Artagnan: No, I'm a man of honor. But believe me when I say that killing you will bring me no pleasure. [to Porthos and Aramis] I'll be with you gentlemen in a moment.

[Girard and his brothers are chased of screen by 40 musketeers]

View Quote Girard: My brothers will avenge me...

View Quote Guard: Are you coming peacefully, or do you intend to resist?
Porthos: Oh, don't be so stupid, of course we intend to resist! Just give us a moment, alright?

D'Artagnan: Excuse me, but there's four of us.

View Quote King Louis: You have failed
Cardinal Richelieu: [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.

Queen Anne: I would rather die.
Cardinal Richelieu: [kicks stool and stands up] That can BE ARRANGED!

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.
Cardinal Richilieu: [smiling] A thousand apologies, your majesty.
