Louis: The next time there are rioters, shoot them.
Aramis: Athos, if we fail in this - and we probably will - it will be an honor to die beside you.
Louis: D'Artagnan, you will hunt down Porthos, Athos, and Aramis, and bring me their heads, or I will have yours. And as for you, my brother, back to the prison you will go, and into the mask you hate. Wear it 'til you love it! And die in it.
Porthos: Stop praying and revel with me, Aramis! I need my spirits lifted. I'm old, I'm weak, my strength is gone.
Aramis: Porthos! I'm praying.
Porthos: I just said you're praying. Are you deaf, too? I know you're blind, because if you'd seen the tits that just walked out of here, you'd have tears in your eyes.
Aramis: I have prayed every day for forgiveness. But now I realise that forgiveness must come from you before it can come from God.
Louis: Of all the wonders I have seen, I've never looked upon anything as beautiful as you.
Aramis: Porthos... don't you understand? I'm trying to pray.
Porthos: You're always praying.
Louis: You think my affairs are empty.
D'Artagnan: I think that it is possible for one man to love one woman all his life and be the better for it, yes.
Athos: It has everything to do with it. The king is a dog. A dog and a coward.
D'Artagnan: No. If anyone sees... it is death.
Queen Anne: If I don't kiss you, I'll die anyway.
Athos: You want me to do the impossible and you want me to do it alone?
Lt. Andre: All my life, all I ever wanted to be was him.
Athos: The next time we meet, one of us will die.
Christine: I shall burn in Hell. So will you.
King Louis XIV: No, no my love. You shall burn in hell. But not. For I am King... ordained by God.
Phillippe: I wear the mask. It does not wear me.
D'Artagnan: Anne, I know that to love you is a treason against France, but not to love you is a treason against my heart.
Queen Anne: Then we will both die traitors, D'Artagnan.
Phillippe: You were the one in the mask.
Answer: There would be both genetic similarities and individual differences, and their vocabularies would have developed differently by education and experience. However, Phillipe was heavily tutored before the switch took place, and as "king" he would be able to distance himself (physically, mentally, and emotionally) as much as needed from members of his court until he perfected his role, along with the continued help from those in on the deception. Also, the audience and readers of the novel are expected to employ a certain "suspension of disbelief" in order to allow the story to be told.
