  • [the three musketeers and D'Artagnan are escaping from the Cardinal's men in his own coach] 

    Porthos : Champagne?

    Athos : We're in the middle of a chase, Porthos.

    Porthos : You're right - something red.

  • [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.

    Aramis , Porthos : A fool.

    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 : NOW, we are prepared to resist you!

    Porthos : For a chase, the Cardinal recommends his excellent '24 Cabernet.

    Athos : Take the reins, boy.

  • [last lines] 

    D'Artagnan : So what do we do now? What's next?

    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.

    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 : 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.

  • [Aramis is unconscious after being shot at by the Cardinal, Porthos is trying to revive him] 

    Athos : Is he dead?

    [Porthos moves the crucifix round Aramis' neck and Aramis regains consciousness violently]

    Aramis : [groans and looks at the crucifix which stopped the bullet]  See? There is a God.

  • [five Cardinal's Guards arrive in an inn, two patrols of their comrades are either bound and gagged or unconscious] 

    Jussac : What is this?

    Athos : We are having a private party celebrating the demise of the Musketeers. Go away.

    Aramis : Athos. Is that any way to greet our guests? Gentlemen, don't be shy, come in. Your friends have been expecting you.

    Jussac : You are under arrest.

    Athos : Under whose authority?

    Rochefort : Mine.

    Aramis : Ah. Hello again, Cyclops.

  • Athos : Sabine! I thought you were dead.

    Milady : Cardinal Richelieu took pity on me.

    Athos : You're the spy?

    Milady : I have learned the value of lies. They have kept me alive.

    Athos : [pointing a pistol at her]  The treaty. Give it to me.

    Milady : No.

    Athos : I will shoot!

    Milady : Be kind. Aim for my heart.

  • 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.

  • Athos : Richelieu!

    Cardinal Richelieu : You're too late, Musketeers! By now the Duke of Buckingham's signature is next to mine! The alliance is complete!

    Athos : That would be difficult, considering the treaty never left France!

    [pause] 

    Cardinal Richelieu : A minor problem!

  • Athos : [after Porthos arrives and helps him fight off the Cardinals Guards]  Where have you been?

    Porthos : Taking care of something ugly.

  • 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.

  • Athos : [Milady is about to be executed]  No! Sabine, forgive me! Please

    Milady : I do forgive you.

    [whispers] 

    Milady : The Cardinal intends to asassinate the King. On Friday, at his birthday celebration.

    [she stands, backs away, and jumps from the cliff to her death] 

    Armand de Winter : God's justice be done.

  • [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.

  • Athos : You go back and you tell the Cardinal we will continue to perform our sworn duty, which is to protect the King, and we will use every means within our power to fight him.

    Rochefort : Bold words. I look forward to ramming them down your throat.

  • [the musketeers are being fired upon] 

    Athos : We'll split up... D'Artagnan rides with me.

    Aramis : See you in Calais!

    Athos : Or Hell!

  • Athos : [the musketeers break into the main hall]  I hope we're not interrupting!

    Rochefort : [Rochefort draws his sword]  No, on the contrary. You're right on time!

    [the duel begins] 

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Athos : The King's life is in danger. We have work to do.
