[five Cardinal's guards ride up as Athos and D'Artagnan prepare to duel]
Athos : Only a fool would try and arrest us twice in one day.
Jussac : You're under arrest.
Jussac : 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, all right?
[to his comrades:]
Porthos : Five of them, three of us. Hardly seems fair.
Aramis : Maybe we should give them a chance to surrender.
D'Artagnan : Excuse me, but there's four of us.
Athos : It's not your fight. You're not a Musketeer.
D'Artagnan : I may not wear the tunic, but I believe I have the heart of a Musketeer.
Porthos : Warrior!
Aramis : Poet!
Athos : You got a name, boy?
D'Artagnan : D'Artagnan.
Athos : Athos, Porthos, Aramis.
Porthos : Pleased to meet you again.
Aramis : Pleasure.
Porthos : Everyone acquainted?
[the four whirl around and unsheathe their swords]
Porthos : NOW, we are prepared to resist you!

[last lines]
D'Artagnan : So what do we do now? What's next?
Porthos : Well, we protect the King.
Aramis : Protect the Queen.
Porthos : In the name of God. And France, correct?
Aramis : France indeed.
[Girard and his brothers have caught up with D'Artagnan. At the other end of the street they draw swords]
Girard : D'Artagnan! My sister's honor will not wait a moment longer.
D'Artagnan : I'll handle this.
Porthos : D'Artganan, we also protect each other.
D'Artagnan : All for one.
Porthos , Aramis , Athos : And one for all.
[Girard's eyes widen]
Girard : RUN!
[Girard and co are pursued by all the musketeers]
-
Porthos : The picnic was delicious, the champagne was excellent, remind me to send the Cardinal a note.
D'Artagnan : The Cardinal! We have to hurry!
Porthos : You two have a date?
D'Artagnan : No. It's the Cardinal. He's conspiring against the king.
Aramis : Tell us something we don't know.
-
Bad Guy : It's Porthos the Pirate! AAAAH!
[the bad guys jump overboard]
D'Artagnan : Pirate?
Porthos : I told you I was famous.
-
D'Artagnan : [preparing to start a duel with Athos] I'll be with you gentlemen in a moment.
Porthos : Oh, he's a fiesty little fellow.
Aramis : Fiesty indeed.
-
Porthos : How's your head D'Artagnan?
D'Artagnan : I'm beginning to wish the Cardinal *had* chopped it off. Will you stop whistling please?
Porthos : I'm not whistling.
D'Artagnan : Well somebody's whistling.
Porthos : Barmaid's kiss left him dizzy.
Aramis : I hear it too. Sounds like a...
Athos : Cannon ball!
Porthos : Oh I *hate* cannon balls.
-
Athos : Your manners have not improved yet. You're late.
D'Artagnan : You in a hurry to die?
Athos : [Porthos and Aramis arrive] Here come the grave diggers now.
Porthos : Athos, you cannot fight this boy.
Athos : Why not?
Porthos : I'm fighting him.
D'Artagnan : Not until 1 o'clock.
Aramis : I have a duel with him too.
D'Artagnan : Not until 2 o'clock.
-
Porthos : You, boy, are arrogant, hot tempered and entirely too bold. I like that. Reminds me of me.
Aramis : Don't encourage him. By helping us the boy has made himself an outlaw as well.
Athos : Not if he leaves Paris right now.
D'Artagnan : I can't leave now, I just got here.
Porthos : Go home. Find a wench, raise fat babies, live a good long life.
D'Artagnan : What about the motto of the Musketeers? All for one and one for all.
Athos : Wake up boy. The Musketeers are just a dream.
-
D'Artagnan : As morning hues of sunswept...
Aramis : Fire!
D'Artagnan : ...fire caress your... poisoned face.
[Aramis looks pained. D'Artagnan gives up, and sweeps the bar maid into a kiss]
Porthos : I declare, the boy's a natural!
-
Porthos : [reacting to D'Artagnan knocking into the waiter, causing food to spill on his sash] Excuse me! This sash was a gift to me from the queen of America.
D'Artagnan : There's no queen of America.
Porthos : I beg to differ, infant. We're on quite intimate terms unless you can prove otherwise.
D'Artagnan : [drawing his sword] Here's my proof.
Porthos : I see. He thinks he can challenge the mighty Porthos with a sword.
D'Artagnan : The mighty who?
Porthos : Don't tell me you've never heard of me.
D'Artagnan : The world's biggest windbag?
Porthos : Little pimple, meet me behind the Luxembourg at one o'clock and bring a long wooden box.
D'Artagnan : Bring your own...
[Porthos laughs]
-
Aramis : Ah, thank you. You broke my fall perfectly. I do apologize for the inconvenience.
D'Artagnan : Get off me!
Aramis : If there's one thing I can't abide, it's rudeness.
D'Artagnan : You fell on me!
Aramis : And I apologized for it.
D'Artagnan : Well your apology is not accepted.
Aramis : I hope your sword is as quick as your mouth.
D'Artagnan : It's quicker.
Aramis : Ah, a duel then.
D'Artagnan : A duel.
Aramis : Meet me by the Carmes-Deschaux Monastery at two o'clock.
D'Artagnan : I'll be there.
Aramis : As will I.
D'Artagnan : Three duels in one day. Hmm.
-
D'Artagnan : Athos, why don't you come join us?
Athos : You fight like a man. See if you can drink like one.
D'Artagnan : I'll drink anything you put in front of me.
Athos : Famous last words... What should we drink to?
D'Artagnan : Let's drink to love.
Athos : [Snorts] To love. Let me tell you a story about love, D'Artagnan. I knew a young man once, a Count, who feared he would never fall in love. One day, he met a woman. This woman was more than beautiful. She was intoxicating, mysterious, everything he'd ever dreamed of. He felt his heart would burst if he couldn't have her.
D'Artagnan : What happened?
Athos : The poor idiot married her.
D'Artagnan : Isn't that what people do when they fall in love?
Athos : Shut up and listen to me. They were riding through the forest one day. She was thrown from her horse and knocked unconscious. When he rushed to her side, he noticed a mark on her body... something he'd never seen before, something she'd managed to keep hidden all this time.
D'Artagnan : What was it?
Athos : The brand of the fleur-de-lis, the mark given to those who are to be executed for murder. The Count was crushed. The woman he loved, his bride, had betrayed him. She'd lied to him. When she came to, she swore that she'd been falsely accused of these crimes, but he didn't believe her; he rejected her for her lies and for her past. Then he banished her from his province. When the guards came to take her away to be executed, she... she was still professing her undying love. Soon after, the Count realized how much she had meant to him, but it was too late. His betrayal was far greater than hers could ever have been. He gave up his title, his land, everything he believed in, never to be seen or heard from again, all because of love.

-
D'Artagnan : It's about time.
Porthos : [laughing] Come D'Artagnan we're saving the king
-
D'Artagnan : WAIT!
Cardinal Richelieu : You object to losing your head?
D'Artagnan : Yes, I like it where it is!
Cardinal Richelieu : Then tell me what I want to know, and maybe you will keep it a while longer!
D'Artagnan : I don't know where they are.
Cardinal Richelieu : And if you did?
D'Artagnan : I wouldn't tell you...
Cardinal Richelieu : I admire your courage, D'Artagnan. You might have made a great musketeer. But now we'll never know - will we?
-
Cardinal Richelieu : Tell me, D'Artagnan. What noble business brings you here?
D'Artagnan : I came to join the King's Musketeers.
Cardinal Richelieu : [slyly] Bad timing.
D'Artagnan : So I've heard.
-
D'Artagnan : Is this Musketeer headquarters?
Athos : No, this was Musketeer headquarters.
D'Artagnan : Oh, you mean it's been moved.
Athos : No, I mean the Musketeers have been disbanded. They no longer exist. Feel free to poke around for souvenirs if you wish.
D'Artagnan : But I just got here. How am I supposed to become a Musketeer if they've been disbanded?
Athos : I'd say you've got quite a problem.
D'Artagnan : [Grabbing Athos' arm] You're not being very helpful.
Athos : You need a lesson in manners, boy.
D'Artagnan : Anytime.
Athos : Why don't you meet me outside the city by the ruins, let's say noon?
D'Artagnan : I'll be there.
-
D'Artagnan : Why's Athos sitting by himself?
Aramis : He takes his drinking very seriously. Not to worry; he'll be his usual charming self by morning.
-
Constance : [pointing a gun at D'Artagnan] Have you any idea what you've done?
D'Artagnan : I've saved you and your friend from these bandits.
Constance : *These bandits* are the Queen's own bodyguard.
D'Artagnan : The Queen? I'm sorry, I didn't know.
Constance : What's your name?
D'Artagnan : D'Artagnan.
Constance : D'Artagnan. A Gascon?
D'Artagnan : I've come to Paris to join the Musketeers.
Constance : Then I'm sure I'll be hearing your name again.
D'Artagnan : Would that please you?
Constance : Ladies in waiting are forbidden to socialise with Musketeers.
D'Artagnan : Well, I'm not a Musketeer yet.
Constance : With that kind of courage you will be one soon enough. Good luck D'Artagnan. And thank you for the amusement, I enjoyed it immensely.
D'Artagnan : Wait! You didn't tell me your name!
Constance : Constance!

Girard : [with D'Artagnan's sword at his throat] My brothers will avenge me...
[D'Artagnan looks up to see Gerard's three brothers arriving on horseback]
D'Artagnan : Already?
[turns and runs]
-
[after a fight with the Cardinal's guards]
D'Artagnan : What's he doing?
Athos : Last rites. Aramis takes death very seriously.
D'Artagnan : Is he a priest?
Athos : He used to be one of the Cardinal's students.
-
D'Artagnan : The Cardinal! We have to hurry!
Porthos : You two have a date?
D'Artagnan : No, it's the Cardinal! He's conspiring against the King!
Aramis : Tell us something we don't know.
D'Artagnan : He sent a messenger with a secret treaty to a man named Buckingham.
Porthos : The Duke of Buckingham?
D'Artagnan : Do you know him?
Aramis : He rules England the way the Cardinal rules France.
D'Artagnan : There's a ship called the Persephone. It's waiting in Calais to take the messenger to England. It sails Tuesday, midnight.
Porthos : If we get that treaty, we can prove the Cardinal guilty of treason.
Aramis : Calais is over 200 leagues from here.
Athos : Is the Cardinal aware of the fact that you have this information?
D'Artagnan : Yes.
-
D'Artagnan : All I want to do is get to Paris, and join the King's Musketeers.
Girard : You, a Musketeer? Fantasy!
D'Artagnan : My father was a Musketeer. The King's personal bodyguard.
Girard : The King was assassinated. Your father was a failure; a disgrace to the Musketeers.
D'Artagnan : What did you say?
Girard : Your father was a disgrace!
-
Athos : You fight like a man, let's see if you can drink like one too.
D'Artagnan : I can drink anything you put in front of me.
Athos : Famous last words.
-
Aramis : The treaty outlines the Cardinal's plans to forge an alliance with Buckingham.
Porthos : No mention of the King?
Aramis : None. However, the arrangement is contingent upon a demonstration of the Cardinal's power.
D'Artagnan : Demonstration? What kind of demonstration?
Aramis : I don't know.
Athos : I know someone who does.
