The Emperor's New Clothes (2001) Poster

Nigel Terry: Montholon

Quotes 

  • Eugene : My guts have been troubling me of late.

    Montholon : Perhaps Your Royal Highness would not suffer such pains if he did not sit around on his fat arse all day, stuffing his face like a pig.

    Eugene : [through a mouthful of sweets]  I wish to consult a doctor.

    Montholon : Do you indeed?

    Eugene : An Italian doctor. No, German! The best there is!

    Montholon : You'll have your doctor when you've done your duty, not before.

    [Eugene reaches for another sweet] 

    Montholon : [shouts]  And stop stuffing your damn face!

    [Eugene stands up abruptly, gasping, and keels over] 

  • [Napoleon looks at his double, Eugene, a lowly deckhand - both characters played by Ian Holm] 

    Napoleon Bonaparte : What are we going to do?

    Montholon : Sire?

    Napoleon Bonaparte : Well, he looks *nothing* like me.

  • Montholon : You will of course be traveling incognito...

    Napoleon Bonaparte : Yes, of course incognito, but in what capacity will I be traveling?

    Montholon : Uh... a galley hand.

    [Napoleon glares] 

    Montholon : It is in the utmost need, Sire.

    Napoleon Bonaparte : Even so, surely something above decks would have been more appropriate.
