D'Artagnan : [reciting from memory the letter Richelieu wrote giving Milady de Winter permission to kill Buckingham, d'Artagnan and Constance, as Richelieu reads the actual note which D'Artagnan has handed him] "By my order and for the good of the state, the bearer has done what has been done."

D'Artagnan : Wet or dry, I cannot.

Aramis : [to D'Artagnan] Let us rescue your mistress. It's the very least one can do for a friend.

Porthos : I'm sure they'll learn a great deal from each other.

Swiss Officer : Warm work, gentlemen. And where were the Musketeers?
Aramis : At our prayers, sir, like good Christians!
Swiss Officer : Ha! By God, sir, so was I! And with good reason. That bastion was buzzing like a beehive.
Athos : And yet you did not stay for breakfast, sir.
Swiss Officer : Neither would you.
Athos : Hmm. Will you bet on that? I'll wager you, better more I will wager you the finest dinner on this camp that my friends and I will have breakfast on that bastion, now.
Swiss Officer : [laughs] Done. Done! Do you hear that, Spengler? You and I will eat that big dinner alone, I think!
D'Artagnan : What is it? What's new?
Porthos : Ah. Our good friends Athos proposes to have us killed for breakfast. Up yonder.
D'Artagnan : What?
Athos : Planchet, get me a basket, some bread, and four cold chickens. Ham, some oysters, and eight bottles of wine, now.
Planchet : Oh fine.
Porthos : And make the wine champagne.
Aramis : At breakfast? Oh my dear Porthos.

Athos : [the Musketeers have captured MiLady] As the Comte de la Fere; with the rights of high, middle and low justice, I accuse this woman of the murder of Constance de Bonacieux. How say you?
Aramis : Death.
Porthos : Death.
D'Artagnan : [Hesitating] Death.
Athos : Death.
MiLady DeWinter : No! You have no power of justice over me! D'Artagnan! If you love me; do not let them do this!
Athos : Make one move to save her, D'Artagnan and we will cross swords; and this time, I swear I will kill you.
-
D'Artagnan : You! You shriveled old wine sack, have you ever lost your heart?
-
Athos : Tell me something. Is your Milady as beautiful as the dew?
D'Artagnan : She's as magnificent as summer's dew. As that.
Athos : I beg of you forget her. She will do you some mischief.
-
D'Artagnan : Now, that's what I call real friendship: to think of me when they're drunk.
