• Duke of Buckingham : How can I ever repay you?

  D'Artagnan : My Lord, let us understand one another. You are an Englishman and an enemy of France. You owe me no debt. What I have done, I've done for the Queen.

• Duke of Buckingham : [the Musketeers have unwittingly rescued the Duke of Buckingham from Richilieu's men]  I could have managed on my own, but my thanks to you gentlemen anyway.

  [quickly exits] 

  Porthos : [looks after him, then to Athos]  Who was that?

  Athos : I don't know, but he sounded a touch foreign to me. Didn't he?

• Duke of Buckingham : Then, sirs, we must bustle!

  [he strides off with the two exhausted Frenchmen trailing behind him] 

  D'Artagnan : Come Planchet, we must... bustle.

  Planchet : [bitterly]  Oh good. I like bustling.

• D'Artagnan : Oh, my-my darling, forgive me. I, uh, my lord, what can I say? I-I love her, and I was jealous.

  Duke of Buckingham : A perfectly excellent reason for attacking a stranger in the dark. Would you oblige me in a small matter, sir?

  D'Artagnan : Anything, my Lord.

  Duke of Buckingham : Madam and I are going to the palace. We must not be seen. If anyone should try to follow us, would you be good enough to kill him? Thank you.

• Duke of Buckingham : [watching a laundress clean a shirt on her bare leg]  I shall wear my shirts in future with more respect!

• Duke of Buckingham : Treason, it may be; but, I will maintain the beauty of French women above all others.

  Lady de Winter : Ah! But one can never really believe an Englishman, can one?
