The Man in the Iron Mask
Movie Quote Quiz

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.

Athos: What gives you the right to judge me, to play God with the lives of others? Is it because you're so much holier than everyone else?
Aramis: Well yes, there is that. But also because I'm more intelligent than anybody else.

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.

Continuity mistake: When the Jesuit tries to kill King Louis, Louis grabs a long bladed knife and stabs the Jesuit in the chest, but when the camera pulls back, the knife is gone, and no one has made a move to pull it out of his chest. Only the blade that D'Artanian threw at him is there.

Trivia: After Porthos tries to hang himself, Aramis reveals he had already sawn the beam to prevent the hanging. His comment when the barn subsequently collapses, "I'm a genius, not an engineer" was written as a pun in the original French manuscript. (Je suis un génie, pas un ingénieur).

Question: How could Louis be the son of a king and Phillipe be the son of D'Artagnan if they're identical twins?

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.
