La Bedoyere
- Napoleon Bonaparte: When I am dead and gone what will the world say of me?
- Le Bedoyere: They'll say that you extended the limits of glory, sire.
- Napoleon Bonaparte: The limits of glory'; is that all I have to leave to my son, the 'limits of glory'?
- Napoleon Bonaparte: Le Bedoyere, do you have any children?
- Le Bedoyere: Yes, sire; one son, very young,no taller than your boot.
- Napoleon Bonaparte: And if he were with you, would you want him with you here today?
- Le Bedoyere: Yes, sire.
- Napoleon Bonaparte: Yes, why?
- Le Bedoyere: So he could see you, sire.
- Napoleon Bonaparte: See me? You know, I have a son. I'd give anything in the world to see him. I'd give my heart, I'd give my life, but not here. I wouldn't want him to witness this battle here today.
- Napoleon Bonaparte: Well they've done it! The whole of Europe has declared war against me! Not against France, but against me.
- Le Bedoyere: They dignify you sire by making you a Nation!
- Napoleon Bonaparte: [laughing] Dignify? Dignify? They deny me the decency of law! They make it legal that any clown can kill me.
- Michel Ney: Well we've fought with mud in our boots before!
- Napoleon Bonaparte: Yes well, I'll discuss peace over Wellington's dead body, that's my peace table!
