Quotes 

• [Porthos has been badly wounded protecting Bonnaire] 

  Porthos : [groaning]  Will I lose my arm?

  Aramis : [patting Porthos on his shoulder]  No, but you might lose your life

  Athos : That bad?

  Aramis : He requires needlework - and soon.

  Athos : Will he make it to Paris?

  Aramis : He won't make it to next village unless I get a chance to sew up that wound.

• [Athos stops Porthos from beating Bonnaire for designing slave ships] 

  Athos : It's our duty to protect him.

  Porthos : And turn a blind eye to his crimes?

  Athos : Slavery is cruel and disgusting, but... it's not a crime.

• Porthos : Men are born free. No one has the right to make slaves of them.

  Émile Bonnaire : Yes, but the real world isn't driven by romantic notions of freedom, is it? It's driven by commerce... and I'm a trader. That's all. I deal in commodities.

  Porthos : A man is not a commodity.

  Émile Bonnaire : Oh, in Africa he is.

• Émile Bonnaire : I refuse to arrive at the palace on an ass and I'm within my rights to demand a fresh set of clothes.

  Porthos : What rights?

  Émile Bonnaire : The rights of every man to some fair treatment. Justice, dignity... a little dignity.

  Aramis : You do know how ironic that sounds coming from a slave trader?

• Émile Bonnaire : I've always admired men of a military disposition. My father raised me on tales of the great heroism of the Musketeers.

  Porthos : Who was he? Nostradamus? The regiment didn't even exist then.
