The Man in the Iron Mask
Movie Quote Quiz

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.

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: If Porthos is determined to end his life, he's bound to seek the opportunity, isn't he?

King Louis XIV: Never underestimate the Dutch.

Athos: Is that just because you are holier than everybody else?
Aramis: Well, there is that, but also because I'm more intelegent than everybody else.

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.

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: 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: You want me to do the impossible and you want me to do it alone?

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

Phillippe: You were the one in the mask.

King Louis XIV: I may be a young king, but I am king.
D'Artagnan: Then be a good king.

Athos: I belong to the past, when uniforms were black and grown men wore them.

King Louis XIV: Why has my own brother tried to do this to me?
D'Artagnan: And look what you have done to him.

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: The next time there are rioters, shoot them.

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.

Louis: Of all the wonders I have seen, I've never looked upon anything as beautiful as you.

Audio problem: In the Bastille dungeon just after Phillippe knocked out the guard with the key we hear Athos say 'We feared the mask would destroy you', but his lips do not move in sync with this. It looks more like he originally said 'We thought you were dead'. (01:44:54)

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).

More trivia for The Man in the Iron Mask

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.
