King Louis XIV: There is more of me to love than a crown.
King Louis XIV: I may be a young king, but I am king.
D'Artagnan: Then be a good king.
D'Artagnan: You are constantly surrounded by beautiful women. Do you love any of them?
Louis: Quite frequently, actually.
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.
Aramis: When I discover the identity of this Jesuit rebel, I will kill both him and the man who told me.
Athos: I belong to the past, when uniforms were black and grown men wore them.
Aramis: You grow fond of him. That is good.
Aramis: If Porthos is determined to end his life, he's bound to seek the opportunity, isn't he?
Queen Anne: Aramis.
Aramis: I have come to ask whether you believe that just as one lie can destroy a life, so one truth can make it whole again.
Queen Anne: I have prayed every day for such a miracle.
King Louis XIV: Why has my own brother tried to do this to me?
D'Artagnan: And look what you have done to him.
Aramis: You are surrounded by beauty, by intrigue, by danger, what more can a man want?
King Louis XIV: Never underestimate the Dutch.
Athos: You have the heart of a king.
Phillippe: Put this man away where no-one will hear his insanity. Let him be fed by a deaf-mute but feed him well.
Louis: Cowards! Twenty men run from four?
Lt. Andre: The corridor nullifies our numbers, and nobody has the stomach to fight the captain.
King Louis XIV: It is good that you watch me, D'Artagnan, but I fear you watch me too closely.
Answer: Both Louis and Philippe are actually D'Artagnan's children. This is why D'Artagnan continues to defend Louis for much of the early part of the film, despite the King's callousness, because he feels that he must defend his son, even against his oldest friends. It's only when he discovers Philippe and realises that he has another son, a humble and decent man, that he's finally able to feel pride as a father and can stand against Louis and his excesses.
