Movie/TV title:

The Three Musketeers


Character name:

Rochefort

Quotes:
  • Cardinal Richelieu: He is becoming as troublesome as his father.
    Rochefort: He is a foolish boy and barely that.
    Cardinal Richelieu: That foolish boy is about to become a man which is all the more reason for us to act quickly. Have our loose ends
    [the three musketeers]
    Cardinal Richelieu: been tied up?
    Rochefort: Two patrols have been sent.
    Cardinal Richelieu: I trust, Captain Rochefort, that you are doing everything in your power to rid us of these rebels. Don't let having only one eye impair your vision. The loss of the other could be most... inconvenient.

  • Athos: You go back and you tell the Cardinal we will continue to perform our sworn duty, which is to protect the King, and we will use every means within our power to fight him.
    Rochefort: Bold words. I look forward to ramming them down your throat.
  • Rochefort: Musketeers! By joint edict of His Majesty the King Louis XIII and His Eminence Cardinal Richelieu, the Musketeers are officially disbanded. In preparation for the coming war with England, your ranks and commissions are hereby transferred to the Infantry. You will be contacted and told where to report. Until that time, you are instructed to return to your homes.
  • Athos: [the musketeers break into the main hall] I hope we're not interrupting!
    Rochefort: [Rochefort draws his sword] No, on the contrary. You're right on time!
    [the duel begins]
  • Rochefort: "It's magnificent. Where did you steal it?" "I collect swords, you see. I take them from the men I've killed."

    Dorleac: Alright. Let's make a bargain, shall we? You ask God for help and I'll stop the moment he shows up.
  • Edmond: Monseuir, I know you must hear this a great deal; I assure you I am innocent. Everyone must say that, I know, but I truly am.

    Dorleac: I know. I really do know.
    Edmond: You mock me?
    Dorleac: No, my dear Dantes. I know perfectly well that you are innocent. Why else would you be here? If you were truly guilty, there are a hundred prisons in France where they would lock you away. But Chateau d'If is where is they put the ones they're ashamed of.

  • [on his role in Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves (1991) as Guy of Gisborne] It's always so much more interesting to play the villains, and this guy is a real son of a bitch.
  • I never get the girl - I always die. That is the catch with playing bad. I'm actually a very romantic person, and I would like to play in a love story. As long as it doesn't get too sweet. That's not me.
  • You have to be careful so you don't make your character dull and predictable. Sometimes you have to bend the script a little... The bad guys are mostly the same on the paper... A bad guy wouldn't think of himself as bad. The guy I'm playing in Metro (1997) thinks of himself as a responsible and nice guy, since he is taking care of his retarded cousin. That is what I try to keep in mind, when I'm shooting and stabbing people.
  • You get to hear it so often - this is your time, this is your movie - finally you just don't listen anymore. Especially character actors, they are as leaves in the wind. There is a saying about the one who wants to amuse the gods never plans his life. He must have been an actor... You never get the role you have worked so hard for, but the dream role, the one who gives you joy, money and maybe even honor, that one just falls into your lap.
  • My worst work happens when I get obedient.
