Leonardo DiCaprio credited as playing...
King Louis • Phillippe
- King Louis XIV: You think my affairs are empty...
- D'Artagnan: I think that it is possible for one man to love one woman all his life and be the better for it, yes.
- Aramis: Perhaps you should take his offer. We're dead anyway.
- Porthos: He's right, D'Artagnan.
- Phillippe: Wait. Bargain me to Louis for all your lives. You've done your best. Please let me go.
- D'Artagnan: No, I cannot do it. Even if I could give up my king, I could never give up my son.
- [they all look at him, thunderstruck]
- Phillippe: Your son?
- D'Artagnan: I loved your mother. I love her still. You are my son. I never knew you existed. And I never felt pride as a father... until this moment.
- King Louis XIV: I hear there was an incident at the Musketeers' gate, where a man came intent on killing me. Is it our policy now to let would-be assassins go free, d'Artagnan?
- D'Artagnan: He wished to kill his own pain. His son is dead. I can think of nothing worse.
- King Louis XIV: What about losing your king?
- D'Artagnan: That depends on the king.
- King Louis XIV: Why has my own brother tried to do this to me?
- D'Artagnan: And look what you have done to him!
- Athos: No, wait. With a king it is so.
- [meaning the way Philippe is holding the goblet]
- Athos: [he shows him, pinching the goblet between thumb and forefinger]
- Athos: Servants have touched the goblet of the King, therefor he will touch it as little as possible. Again.
- [Phillippe tries it and the goblet slips from his fingers, crashing onto his plate and spilling onto everything]
- Phillippe: I am sorry!
- Athos: No. No! Do not be sorry! There are no mistakes when you are the King! You must never apologize. The King cares for nothing and for no one.
- Phillippe: Is that the kind of king you wish me to be? Or do you say this to me because your son is dead?
- [Athos is silent, he shoves back from the table and turns away]
- Phillippe: Forgive me, I would never mean to disrespect...
- Athos: I am not... I am not angry with you. Do you understand? Good. Of course we wish you to be a good king. But first you must pass as Louis, and Louis is cold and cruel. The eyes of this King say that he cares for nothing at all but himself. You eyes ask too much. You shouldn't care about... about me... you shouldn't care...
- [his voice breaks]
- Athos: You mustn't ask about my son...
- [he leaves the room, weeping]
- King Louis XIV: Cowards! Twenty men run from four?
- Lt. Andre: The corridor nullifies our numbers, and nobody has the stomach to fight the captain!
- Phillippe: Put this man away where no one will hear his insanity. Let him be fed by a deaf-mute but feed him well.
- King Louis XIV: D'Artagnan, you will hunt down Porthos, Athos, and Aramis, and bring me their heads, or I will have yours. And as for you, my brother, back to the prison you will go, and into the mask you hate. Wear it 'til you love it! And die in it.
- Christine: I have sinned against love and God for the sake of your mercy, which you would not have given without my sin. I will burn in Hell. So will you.
- King Louis XIV: No. No, no. No, my love. You will burn in Hell. I will not. For I am King - ordained by God!
- King Louis XIV: D'Artagnan, I am not angry with you. I knew you would lead me to them, and so you have. Lay down your sword and I will not punish you. I will let you retire in peace, and I will give your friends a swift execution, if you surrender NOW!
- D'Artagnan: You are constantly surrounded by beautiful women. Do you love any of them?
- King Louis XIV: Quite frequently, actually.
- King Louis XIV: Who is that?
- King's Advisor: Raoul. The son of Athos.
- King Louis XIV: François, your taste may run to young soldiers but, I was referring to the beauty next to him.
