Rochefort
- Cardinal Richelieu: Who is the man that accuses you?
- Bonacieux: [Rochefort enters and Bonacieux points at him] That! That is the man!
- Count Rochefort: Take him away.
- Bonacieux: That is *not* the man!
- Rochefort: I failed. One does occasionally.
- Cardinal Richelieu: If I blundered as you do, my head would fall.
- Rochefort: I would say from a greater height than mine, Eminence.
- Cardinal Richelieu: You would?
- Rochefort: The height of vaulting ambition.
- Cardinal Richelieu: You have none?
- Rochefort: No.
- Cardinal Richelieu: Do you fear me, Rochefort?
- Rochefort: Yes, I fear you, Eminence. I also hate you.
- Cardinal Richelieu: I love you, my son. Even when you fail.
- Rochefort: This d'Artagnan... he lodges with you, does he not? We will find Monsieur d'Artagnan a suitable lodging in the Bastille for the time being.
- M. Bonancieux: And afterwards?
- Rochefort: [coldly] In the Bastille, there is no afterwards.
- Rochefort: [commenting on D'Artagnan's horse] Decidedly it is someone riding a buttercup. Unless it is a cheese with legs.
- Rochefort: [to d'Artagnan] If you *were* a gentleman, I would speak *to* you. I was speaking *at* you, sir.
- D'Artagnan: [facing Rochefort on a country road at darkest night] That pass you have in your pocket, if you hand it over to me now, it'll save us all a great deal of inconvenience.
- Count Rochefort: [recognizing d'Artagnan after shining his lantern on him] You are the Gascon rascal with the yellow horse who drawls on street corners with the Musketeers.
- D'Artagnan: Street corners you've been careful to avoid, Monsieur Cyclops!
