The Man in the Iron Mask

"You are surrounded by beauty, by intrigue, by danger, what more can a man want?"

"Athos. If we fail in this attempt... and we probably will... I'll be honored to die beside you."

"This is not for me, Athos. This is for everything we once were, and might be again!"

"It's judgement day."

"This secrecy is regrettable but necessary."

"We will replace the king."

"I am the general of the Order of the Jesuits."

"I need you. All for one, one for all."

"But now Louis was King. He was afraid to kill you. His whole claim of power rested on the sancitity of Royal blood. So, instead, he devised a way to keep you forever hidden. For my country... for my king... I bought peace... with your life... and my soul."

"Well I'm a genius, not a engineer."

"I wear the mask; it does not wear me."

"However I have wronged you, I will make amends."

"You were the one in the mask."

"Put this man away where no one will hear his insanity. Let him be fed by a deaf-mute but feed him well."

"You take my king, and I shall take yours."

"For a moment, I thought you had become the king I had always wanted you to be."

"Anne! I know that loving you is treason against France, but not loving you is treason against my heart."

"Your people are most anxious to love you, but they are eating rotten food and sometimes none at all."

"Even if I could give up my king, I could never give up my son. I loved your mother. I love her still. I never knew you existed, and I have never felt pride as a father until now."

"I was told, each time I drew my sword, I should consider not what I killed, but what I allowed to live."

"All that you have suffered... I would gladly have borne myself to keep it from you."

"when all the sky is dark the night is light and will light the way"

"Yes, Raoul is my reason for being here, but not in the way you think. Once I, once all of us believed in spending our lives in the service of something greater than ourselves. Aramis had his faith, Porthos his lust for life, D'Artagnan his devotion and I had Raoul. But we all had a common dream; that one day, we would finally be able to serve a king worthy of the throne. It is what we dreamt, what we bled for and what we have spent a lifetime waiting to see. I taught Raoul to believe in this dream... and now my son is dead. So I am here to find out if his life was in vain, and the only one who can answer that question is you."

"It has everything to do with it. The king is a dog. A dog and a coward."

"It's a prison. Of course, there's no trouble getting in. The problems will come when we want to get out."

"You're the traitor."

"One for all. All for one."

"Whatever the plan, I am with you."

"The next time we meet, one of us will die."

"Your eyes ask too much."

""My friend", returned Porthos sententiously, "there is always time when one chooses to find it"."

"I love life!"

"We're in a tomb?"

"I am Porthos! I defy the king!"

"I'd rather die covered in blood than an old man lying in my own piss."

"If you can name me one thing, one single thing, that is more sublime than a plump pink nipple between my lips... I will build you a new cathedral."

"[He's] my twin. My blood. A fact which has kept him alive until now."

"No, my love. You will burn in hell. I will not. For I am king, ordained by God!"

"Of all the wonders I have seen, I have never looked upon anything as beautiful as you."

"As for you my brother, back to the prison you shall go, and into the mask you hate. Wear it until you love it! And die in it!"

"Magnificent valor."

"All my life, all I EVER wanted to be... was him [D'Artagnan]"

"The corridor nullifies our numbers, and no one has the stomach to fight the Captain."

"(from the trailer) In a turbulent time, power ruled, injustice reigned, and a tyrant took whatever he desired. He thought no one could take his place. But he was wrong."
