Louis Hayward credited as playing...
Louis XIV • Philippe of Gascony
- Philippe: [as Louis] I became King on my fifth birthday. By my sixth I learned not to offer encouragement. Sooner or later everyone comes to me.
- Philippe: [as Louis] A king fears tradition more than he does assassination. There is a chance for me to escape assassination but not tradition. It's one of the unfortunate things connected with being King.
- Philippe: There is one law in life, my brother, that not even a king can escape... the law of retribution!
- Philippe: [as Louis in the torture chamber] I know how well you love complete power, Fouquet, but you will never know complete power until you are obeyed in a place like this.
- D'Artagnan: You've suffered enough. You can be King, or you can be free. Which is it?
- Philippe: Take me to where the Crown of France is to be found.
- [Last lines]
- Princess Maria Theresa: He was a brave man. France will always need brave men.
- Philippe: And brave women to remind them of their duty. God save France!
- Philippe: [Seeing that D'Artagnan is wounded] Are you hurt?
- D'Artagnan: Always remember to lick your wounds after the battle.
