1	* D'Artagnan pacifying an angry mob by slicing two bits of [[ProducePelting rotten fruit thrown at him]] in midair, catching another one by ''impaling it on his sword'' and biting into it. The crowd is suitably awed.
2	-->'''D'Artagnan:''' You are right, it is rotten. I will speak to the King myself, you have my word. And release those men. They serve France! ''You!''
3	* D'Artagnan dropping a Jesuit assassin about to kill Louis by [[ThrowingYourSwordAlwaysWorks hurling his sword]] through a water fountain from the other side of the courtyard they're all standing in.
4	* During the Masked Ball, the timing that the Musketeers and Philippe use to unsettle the king enough to make him go to his quarters, where he'd be alone, is quite the sight to behold. The choreography for the scene was beautifully done by Randall Wallace's wife. The music is fitting as well. Whenever an iron mask appears, the uplifting ball music fades for a moment to be drowned out by a deep drum beat, a bit of [[PsychoStrings unnerving violin]], and what sounds like the short laugh of vengeful spirits.
5	-->'''Aramis:''' [[PreAsskickingOneLiner It's Judgement Day.]] ''(gives Louis a MegatonPunch)''
6	* Even though they ultimately fail, the Musketeers fighting off the king's men while trying to escape with Philippe.
7	-->'''Porthos:''' I am Porthos! [[DidYouJustFlipOffCthulhu I DEFY THE KING!]]
8	* D'Artagnan expertly slapping down Louis's condemnation of Philippe:
9	-->'''Louis:''' And you take the side of traitors - of this one - worst of all my own brother, who's tried to do this to me! \
10	'''D'Artagnan:''' [[ArmorPiercingQuestion And what have you done to HIM?!]]
11	* Philippe tricking his brother into sending him back to prison with the iron mask instead of killing him, and readily waiting for the Musketeers after [[ObfuscatingInsanity faking a breakdown]].
12	--> '''Philippe:''' ''(knocks out the guard)'' I knew you would come for me. \
13	'''Athos:''' We feared the mask would destroy you. \
14	'''Philippe:''' ''I'' wear the mask, it does not wear me.
15	* In the climax, D'Artagnan, the Three Musketeers, and Philippe are cornered by Louis's Musketeers who all have guns. They resolve to die together as befitting TrueCompanions and charge. This moves the other Musketeers so much that they all unanimously shoot to miss and salute them with their swords.
16	-->'''Lieutenant André:''' Magnificent valour.
17	* As D'Artagnan breathes his last, stabbed InTheBack by Louis, Louis tries to take advantage of the distraction and escape, [[HeelFaceTurn only to get Lieutenant André's blade to his throat]].
18	--> '''Lieutenant André:''' [[TranquilFury All my life, all I ''ever'' wanted to be... was ''him''!]]
