• Cardinal Richelieu : Who is the man that accuses you?

  Bonacieux : [Rochefort enters and Bonacieux points at him]  That! That is the man!

  Count Rochefort : Take him away.

  Bonacieux : That is *not* the man!

• Rochefort : I failed. One does occasionally.

  Cardinal Richelieu : If I blundered as you do, my head would fall.

  Rochefort : I would say from a greater height than mine, Eminence.

  Cardinal Richelieu : You would?

  Rochefort : The height of vaulting ambition.

  Cardinal Richelieu : You have none?

  Rochefort : No.

  Cardinal Richelieu : Do you fear me, Rochefort?

  Rochefort : Yes, I fear you, Eminence. I also hate you.

  Cardinal Richelieu : I love you, my son. Even when you fail.

• Rochefort : This d'Artagnan... he lodges with you, does he not? We will find Monsieur d'Artagnan a suitable lodging in the Bastille for the time being.

  M. Bonancieux : And afterwards?

  Rochefort : [coldly]  In the Bastille, there is no afterwards.

• Rochefort : [commenting on D'Artagnan's horse]  Decidedly it is someone riding a buttercup. Unless it is a cheese with legs.

• Rochefort : [to d'Artagnan]  If you *were* a gentleman, I would speak *to* you. I was speaking *at* you, sir.

• Rochefort : [to d'Artagnan]  Away, bumpkin!

• D'Artagnan : [facing Rochefort on a country road at darkest night]  That pass you have in your pocket, if you hand it over to me now, it'll save us all a great deal of inconvenience.

  Count Rochefort : [recognizing d'Artagnan after shining his lantern on him]  You are the Gascon rascal with the yellow horse who drawls on street corners with the Musketeers.

  D'Artagnan : Street corners you've been careful to avoid, Monsieur Cyclops!
