“Fate doesn't always make the right men kings.”
David Niven - Fritz von Tarlenheim

“- King Louis: 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: What about losing your king?
- D'Artagnan: That depends on the king.”
Leonardo DiCaprio - King Louis
Gabriel Byrne - D'Artagnan

“- 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?”

Leonardo DiCaprio - Phillippe
John Malkovich - Athos

“D'Artagnan, I have never known a finer man than you nor cared more for a friend, but if this king harms my son merely to take a lover, then this king will become my enemy. And so will any man who stands between that enemy and me.”

John Malkovich - Athos

“- Harold: What were you fighting for?
- Maude: Oh, big issues. Liberty. Rights. Justice. Kings died, kingdoms fell. I don't regret the kingdoms, what sense in borders and nations and patriotism? But I miss the kings.”
Bud Cort - Harold
Ruth Gordon - Maude
