- [to a barmaid]
- Émile Bonnaire: The tail feather of an Amazonian macaw, quite the loveliest bird in the jungle, yet not half so lovely as you. It matches your eyes perfectly.
- D'Artagnan: [to Aramis] Seduced by a feather. Really?
- Aramis: Anyone can tell a woman she's beautiful. Making her believe it is where the genius lies.
- [speaking at Maria Bonnaire's grave]
- Émile Bonnaire: Forgive me, my love. You deserved a better man.
- [Emile begins to sob]
- Émile Bonnaire: I seem to have forgotten all my old prayers.
- Aramis: Nothing that suffers can pass without merit in the sight of God. Amen.
- Milady: Will you be requiring my services in the near future? I have some personal matters to attend to.
- Cardinal Richelieu: Any notion of a personal life ended the day I picked you out of the gutter and made you my creature.
- [Milady glares at him]
- Cardinal Richelieu: But, of course, even assassins should have a holiday now and then.
- [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.
- 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.
- Athos: You're dead. I watched you hang.
- Milady: You didn't watch, did you? You couldn't stay to see your beloved wife choking on the end of a rope.
- Athos: Remi...
- Milady: I seduced him. As soon as you fled, he cut me down and revived me. But look...
- [pulls away her choker to review the rope burn around her neck]
- Milady: I still carry the token of your love.
- [as D'Artagnan rushes to rescue Athos, he spots a woman riding away from the burning chateau]
- D'Artagnan: What happened? Who was that woman?
- Athos: Since we arrived, I felt her presence everywhere. I thought I was imagining it.
- D'Artagnan: Who? Who?
- Athos: My wife. She died five years ago now, by my orders. She was a cold-blooded murderer, so I had her taken from the house and hung from the branch of a tree.
- D'Artagnan: Look at me. Look at me! Are you saying the ghost of your dead wife tried to kill you?
- Athos: She's not dead, D'Artagnan. She survived.
- 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?
- [last lines]
- [Bonnaire's dreams of a tobacco empire are dashed when he is captured by the Spanish - with the help of the Musketeers]
- Athos: [to D'Artagnan] If only all wrongs were so easily corrected.
- [as Athos walks off, D'Artagnan catches a glimpse of Milady ducking down a dark street]
- 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.
- Cardinal Richelieu: It appears you had quite an adventure on your way here.
- Émile Bonnaire: Some adventures a man can live without.
- Cardinal Richelieu: I'm curious. How would you define a good adventure?
- Émile Bonnaire: Where the potential rewards outweigh the risks, I'd say.
