D'Artagnan: [after getting a ticket] What is this?
Aramis: It's a citation. It's a ticket.
[pause]
Aramis: Failure to remove animal bowel movements from public area.
D'Artagnan: French.

King Louis XIII of France: [gazing at Buckingham's war machine] What is that thing called, anyway Richelieu?
Richelieu: An... airship, your Majesty?

[angrily]
King Louis XIII of France: Well, build me one.

King Louis XIII of France: So, madam, what of Buckingham?
Milady de Winter: Majesty?
King Louis XIII of France: [impatiently] Well, what's he wearing these days?
Milady de Winter: Green, your Majesty.
King Louis XIII of France: Hmm. Very interesting.
King Louis XIII of France: [to the Tailor] And you had the gall to recommend blue? Of course it should be green. Why am I surrounded by incompetent idiots? Green, green, green! Do I have to do everything myself?
-
Duke of Buckingham: Your Majesty. Love the outfit. Very retro. We were all wearing those in London, when was it... last year, or the year before?
-
Constance: Look, D'Artagnan. You may have a new set of clothes and the King's favor, but you still act like a clumsy country boy. Now excuse me.

D'Artagnan: What? Do you think you have the monopoly on loss? What if she dies? The life of one woman or the future of France? What would you do if you were in my position?
Athos: I've made a lot of sacrifices. Made a lot of hard choices. For honor, for King, for country. Do you know what I 've learned, boy? Hard choices and sacrifices do not keep you warm at night. And life is too damn short and too damn long to go through without someone at your side. Don't end up like me. Choose the woman. Fight for love, D'Artagnan. France will take care of itself.

Richelieu: The day will come when you'll wish you had said "yes".
