“- King Louis: I hear there was an incident at the Musketeers' gate, where a man came intent on killing me. Is it our policy now to let would-be assassins go free, d'Artagnan?
- D'Artagnan: He wished to kill his own pain. His son is dead. I can think of nothing worse.
- King Louis: What about losing your king?
- D'Artagnan: That depends on the king.”
Leonardo DiCaprio - King Louis
Gabriel Byrne - D'Artagnan

“- Phillippe: I am sorry!
- Athos: No. No! Do not be sorry! There are no mistakes when you are the King! You must never apologize. The King cares for nothing and for no one.
- Phillippe: Is that the kind of king you wish me to be?”

Leonardo DiCaprio - Phillippe
John Malkovich - Athos

“D'Artagnan, I have never known a finer man than you nor cared more for a friend, but if this king harms my son merely to take a lover, then this king will become my enemy. And so will any man who stands between that enemy and me.”

John Malkovich - Athos

“- Harold: What were you fighting for?
- Maude: Oh, big issues. Liberty. Rights. Justice. Kings died, kingdoms fell. I don't regret the kingdoms, what sense in borders and nations and patriotism? But I miss the kings.”
Bud Cort - Harold
Ruth Gordon - Maude

“We have only one thing to give up. Our dominion. We don't own the world. We're not kings yet. Not gods. Can we give that up? Too precious, all that control? Too tempting, being a god?”
Philip Anthony Hopkins - Ethan Powell
