What could be better than The Three Musketeers?
One for all and all for one! (And every man for himself.)

Quotes:

Porthos: You know, it strikes me that we would be better employed wringing Milady's pretty neck than shooting these poor devils of Protestants. I mean, what are we killing them for? Because they sing psalms in French and we sing them in Latin?::Aramis: Porthos, have you no education? What do you think religious wars are all about?

D'Artagnan: [reciting from memory the letter Richelieu wrote giving Milady de Winter permission to kill Buckingham, d'Artagnan and Constance, as Richelieu reads the actual note which D'Artagnan has handed him] "By my order and for the good of the state, the bearer has done what has been done."::Cardinal Richelieu: Hm. One should be careful what one writes... [he tears up the note] and to whom one gives it. I must bear those rules in mind.

[Richelieu has given D'Artagnan a commission as a lieutenant in the Musketeers]::D'Artagnan: It is too much! I cannot accept it. Athos, you take it.::Athos: No, for the Comte de la Fère it is too little; for Athos, too much.

MiLady DeWinter: [to Rochefort] I reek of England and Calvinism.

[after seeing Athos stumble down a flight of stairs]::D'Artagnan: Athos, are you hurt?::Athos: Hurt? What I am is drunk.

Athos: [the Musketeers have captured MiLady] As the Comte de la Fere; with the rights of high, middle and low justice, I accuse this woman of the murder of Constance de Bonacieux. How say you?::Aramis: Death.::Porthos: Death.::D'Artagnan: [Hesitating] Death.::Athos: Death.::MiLady DeWinter: No! You have no power of justice over me! D'Artagnan! If you love me; do not let them do this!::Athos: Make one move to save her, D'Artagnan and we will cross swords; and this time, I swear I will kill you.

Headsman: And two more pistoles for rowing the boat. I'm a headsman, not a sailor.

Cardinal Richelieu: Spy... it is a foul word.::Rochefort: It is a familiar word to me, Eminence, in your service.::Cardinal Richelieu: [glares at Rochefort, then] On your knees, little man, before your master!

D'Artagnan: [of Milady] I love her with my head. But my Constance, snatched from my side, I love with my heart.::Athos: You have a conveniently discriminating anatomy.

Athos: Leave now. Leave Paris, leave France. Get as far from that evil woman's grasp as you can.
