Queen Quotes in The Three Musketeers (2011)

Queen: Four against 40? Or was it 400?

Athos: Just 40, Your Majesty... it was an off day.

Carlos Vendetta: That's a letter of abdication renouncing your claims to the throne and the claims of your entire family. Sign it.

[the Queen reads the abdication sign and puts her pen down]

Queen: Never.

[Vendetta picks up the Queen's dog and threatens to shoot it. The Queen solemnly signs the abdication note]

Queen: Get on your bikes and get ready to move. I'm gonna kill the dirty mother that did this to Honey. Look, I know where they eat, so we'll go over there. I grant you this will be their last meal.

Queen: Why didn't I think of that? Oh, because it's suicide.

Queen: It's the same year after year, they come, they eat, they leave; that's our lot in life. It's not a lot, but it's our life.

Queen: You've got a lot of spunk kid, but no one's gonna help a bunch of ants.

King: Who on earth are they?

Queen: I think that's our little girl!

King: That's not little, that's a really big problem! Wasn't she supposed to kiss Prince Charming and break the spell?

Queen: Well, he's no Prince Charming, but they do look...

Shrek: Happy now? We came, we saw them. Now let's go before they light the torches!

Princess Fiona: But they're my parents!

Shrek: Hello, they locked you in a tower!

Princess Fiona: Hey, that was for my own...

King: Good! Now's our chance. Let's go back inside and pretend we're not home.

Queen: Harold! We have to be...

Shrek: Quick, while they're not looking, we can make a run for it!

Princess Fiona: Shrek! Stop it! Everything is going to be...

King: A disaster! There's no way...

Princess Fiona: You can do this.

Shrek: But I really...

King: Really...

Queen: Really...

Shrek: Don't...

Princess Fiona: Want...

Queen: To...

Shrek: Be...

King: He-ere.

Queen: Harold!

Princess Fiona: Shrek!

Shrek: Fiona...

King: Fiona!

Princess Fiona: Mom!

Queen: Harold!

Donkey: [happily] Donkey!

[Harold takes the spell meant for Shrek, and is blasted until only his armour remains]

Princess Fiona: Oh, Dad...

Queen: Harold...

Pinocchio: Is he... oh...

[there's a "ribbit"]

Gingerbread Man: He croaked...

[Harold, the Frog King, clambers out of his armour]

Queen: ...Harold?

Princess Fiona: ...Dad?

King: [sighs] I had hoped you would never see me like this...

Donkey: [to Shrek] Huh - and he gave *you* a hard time!

Shrek: Donkey!

King: No, no, he's right - I'm sorry, to both of you. I only wanted what was best for Fiona, but I can see now she already has it. Shrek, Fiona - will you accept an old frog's apologies, and my blessing?

[Shrek and Fiona bow their heads in assent]

Queen: Harold...

King: I'm sorry, Lillian - I just wish I could be the man that you deserve...

Queen: [taking him in her hand] You're more that man today than you ever were - warts and all...

Queen: Oh, stop being such a drama king!

Queen: So, Fiona. Tell us about where you live.

Princess Fiona: Well, Shrek owns his own land. Don't you, honey?

Shrek: Yes. It's in an... enchanted forest, abundant in squirrels, and cute little duckies...

Donkey: What?

[laughs]

Donkey: I know you ain't talking about the swamp.

Shrek: Donkey!

King: An ogre from a swamp. How original.

Queen: I guess that will be a fine place to raise the children.

[both Shrek and the King choke; Shrek coughs up his spoon]

Shrek: It's a little early to be thinking about that, isn't it?

King: Indeed! I just started eating.

King: So I suppose any grandchildren I could expect from you would be...

Shrek: Ogres! Yes!

Queen: Not that there's anything wrong with that. Right, Harold?

King: Oh, no, no. Of course not! That's assuming you don't eat your own young!

Princess Fiona: Dad!

Shrek: Oh, no, we usually prefer the ones who have been locked away in a tower!

Princess Fiona: Shrek, please!

King: I only did that because I love her!

Shrek: Oh, aye! Daycare or dragon-guarded castle!

King: I'm sorry, Lillian. I just wish I could be the man you deserve.

Queen: You are more that man now than you ever were, warts and all.

Queen: Harold!

Princess Fiona: Shrek!

Shrek: Fiona!

King: Fiona!

Princess Fiona: Mom!

Princess Fiona: Harold!

Donkey: Donkey!

[at the dinner table as dinner is served]

Queen: Let's not sit here with our tummies rumbling. Everybody dig in.

Donkey: Don't mind if I do, Lillian!

Moses: Is this where you found me?

Queen: Moses, please try to understand.

Moses: So everything I thought, everything I am, is a lie.

Queen: No! You are our son and we love you.

Moses: Why did you choose me?

Queen: We didn't, Moses. The gods did.

[sings]

Queen: This is your home, my son. Here the river brought you, and it's here the river meant to be your home. Now you know the truth, love; now forget, and be content. When the gods send you a blessing, you don't ask why it was sent.

Queen: Neverwhere is a troubled land. Your great strength has brought peace to my restless body. It can bring great peace to all the people of this land.

Den: I knew I was good. But I didn't know I was that good.

Bala: Haven't I seen you somewhere before?

Z: Well, maybe, then again, maybe not, and then again... yowch.

Bala: [recognizing his line from the night before] That's it. You're the guy from the bar.

Z: Shhh.

Queen: Bar? What bar?

Bala: I... danced with this guy at the bar the other night. He was just a worker, then.

Queen: What were you doing at a bar?

General Mandible: Precisely what I want to know.

Bala: No. This isn't about me. I mean, Look at this worker. Look what he's done.

Z: I think - I think you're thinking of someone else. After all, I am a soldier.

Bala: Exactly. You *were* a worker, but now you're a war hero.

Queen: He's a worker?

General Mandible: A worker danced with my fiance?

Z: F-fiance? Hey, w-wait a minute. Th-this is not how it looks. I-I can explain this... hey, SHE was the one making all the moves.

Queen: Everyone has their place, Bala. You, the soldiers, the workers... Oh, it's not all that bad being princess, is it? Would you prefer to be carting around dirt all day?

Bala: Oh, Mother, don't be so dramatic.

Queen: It moved. My soup moved.

Andre: No, it isn't. It did not move.

[They see Siegfried with Odille, who dresses and looks like Odette dressed in black]

Queen: Who is that mysterious lady there, dressed in black?

Minister: I've never seen her. She's lovely.

Queen: Whoever she is, I'm glad my son has finally found a young woman, He's interested in.

[to the Minister]

Queen: Have them begin the music, now.

Minister: Music, maestro!

[They began to starting the music]

Queen: [to Count Oga] You needn't make it sound as if I enjoy annihilating children. I only do it when it's... unavoidable.

[At the castle, the Queen stormed into Count Oga's laboratory with the chest box]

Queen: Traitor! You shall be hanged, drawn and quartered!

Count Oga: Aye, your majesty? What have I done?

Queen: Snow White is still alive!

Count Oga: Impossible.

Queen: My mirror has just told me... And my mirror never LIES!

Count Oga: But, you have a heart to prove it.

Queen: [looks at the chest box] This? This is the heart of a pig!

[throws the chest, Oga drops the potion and catches it, crashes and she comes to him]

Queen: SNOW WHITE IS STILL ALIVE!

Count Oga: Then, Hordred has betrayed us both.

[first lines]

Queen: Slave in the magic mirror, come from the farthest space, through wind and darkness I summon thee. Speak! Let me see thy face.

Magic Mirror: What wouldst thou know, my Queen?

Queen: Magic mirror on the wall, who is the fairest one of all?

Magic Mirror: Famed is thy beauty, Majesty. But hold, a lovely maid I see. Rags cannot hide her gentle grace. Alas, she is more fair than thee.

Queen: Alas for her! Reveal her name.

Magic Mirror: Lips red as the rose. Hair black as ebony. Skin white as snow.

Queen: Snow White!

Queen: Magic Mirror, on the wall, who, now, is the fairest one of all?

Magic Mirror: Over the seven jewelled hills, beyond the seventh fall, in the cottage of the Seven Dwarfs, dwells Snow White, fairest of them all.

Queen: Snow White lies dead in the forest. The huntsman has brought me proof. Behold, her heart.

Magic Mirror: Snow White still lives, fairest in the land. 'Tis the heart of a pig you hold in your hand.

Queen: The heart of a pig! Then I've been tricked!

Queen: Take her far into the forest. Find some secluded glade where she can pick wildflowers.

Huntsman: Yes, Your Majesty.

Queen: And there, my faithful huntsman, you will kill her!

Huntsman: [protesting] But Your Majesty! The little princess!

Queen: [rising] Silence! You know the penalty if you fail.

Huntsman: [solemnly] Yes, Your Majesty.

Queen: But to make doubly sure you do not fail, bring back her heart in this.

Queen: But wait! There may be an antidote. Nothing must be overlooked.

[flips through the book she was reading earlier till she finds the antidote]

Queen: Ah, hear this! "The Victim of the Sleeping Death can be revived only by Love's First Kiss." "Love's First Kiss."

[slamming the book closed]

Queen: Bah! No fear of that. The dwarfs will think she's dead. She'll be buried alive!

[Cackles as she puts the poisoned apple into a basket filled with other apples and leaves by a trapdoor in the cellar floor]

Queen: Buried alive!

[cackles again]

Queen: [Passes the skeleton of a prisoner reaching for a pitcher] Thirsty? Have a drink!

[Kicks the pitcher; the skeleton crumbles and a spider skitters out]

Queen: And because you've been so good to poor old Granny, I'll share a secret with you. This is no ordinary apple, it's a magic wishing apple.

Snow White: A wishing apple?

Queen: Yes! One bite, and all your dreams will come true.

Snow White: Really?

Queen: Yes, girlie. Now, make a wish, and take a bite.

Queen: I'll fix ya! I'll crush your bones!

Queen: Now, a formula to transform my beauty into ugliness. Change my queenly raiment to a peddler's cloak. Mummy dust, to make me old. To shroud my clothes, the black of night. To age my voice, an old hag's cackle. To whiten my hair, a scream of fright. A blast of wind to fan my hate. A thunderbolt to mix it well. Now, begin thy magic spell.

Queen: Dip the apple in the brew. Let the Sleeping Death seep through.

[the poison on the apple forms a skull]

Queen: Look! On the skin! The symbol of what lies within. Now, turn red, to tempt Snow White, to make her hunger for a bite.

Queen: [offering the apple to the raven] Have a bite?

[the raven flaps wildly, trying to escape]

Queen: [laughing] It's not for you, it's for Snow White. When she breaks the tender peel, to taste the apple in my hand, her breath will still, her blood congeal, then I'll be fairest in the land!

Queen: Look! My hands!

[the Queen's formerly smooth hands grow and turn wrinkled and clawed with long pointed fingernails, a large cyst on her left, as her cloak turns jet black]

Queen: My voice!

[the Queen's voice is no longer deep and smooth at this point, but now rough and witch-like]

Queen: My voice!

[evil cackle]

Queen: A perfect disguise!

[another dark cackle, as the Queen in her complete peddler disguise reveals her whole face, terrifying the raven as he dives into a skull in terror]

Queen: And now, a special sort of death... for one so fair. What shall it be... ahhh!

[the terrified raven in the skull jumps back, shivering and quaking as he hides behind a desk]

Queen: A poisoned apple! Sleeping death! Oh ho ho ho. One taste of the poisoned apple, and the victim's eyes will close forever... in the sleeping death!

[the hag turns to face the camera, smiling devilishly as it zooms in on her face, before it fades to black]

Queen: All alone, my pet?

Snow White: Why, why, yes, I am, but.

Queen: Then the little men are not here?

Snow White: No, they're not, but.

Queen: Mmm, mm-hmm.

[Sniffing]

Queen: Baking pies?

Snow White: Yes, gooseberry pie.

Queen: It's apple pies that make the menfolks' mouths water.

[presenting the poisoned apple to Snow White]

Queen: Pies made from apples like these.

Snow White: Oh, they do look delicious.

Queen: Yes, but wait till you taste one, dearie. Like to try one, hm? Go on. Go on, have a bite.

Snow White: Oh, I feel strange.

[Starts gasping for air]

Queen: [to herself] Her breath will still. Her blood congeal.

[Snow White drops onto the floor]

Queen: [Cackling] Now I'll be fairest in the land!

Maleficent: Listen well, all of you.

[clangs her scepter against the floor]

Maleficent: The princess shall indeed grow in grace and beauty, beloved by all who know her. But... before the sun sets on her 16th birthday, she shall prick her finger - on the spindle of a spinning wheel - and DIE!

Queen: [clutching the baby Aurora] Oh no!

[Maleficent laughs]

King Stefan: Seize that creature!

Maleficent: Stand back, you fools!

[laughing, she disappears in a burst of green fire]

Flora: Don't despair, Your Majesties. Merryweather still has *her* gift to give.

King Stefan: Then, she can undo this fearful curse?

Merryweather: Oh no, Sire!

Flora: Maleficent's powers are far too great.

Fauna: But she can help.

Eddie: [after being told he can't marry Paige] Well, then I hope you think that Arabella is fit to be Queen at the age of twelve! Oh, no, I'm forgetting Nestor.

Queen: Don't threaten us!

Eddie: Cousin Bartholomew's idiot son, Nestor. The 45-year-old virgin in diapers Oh, the people will rejoice.

King Haraald: ENOUGH!

[everyone is quiet]

King Haraald: Edvard, you will be the next king of Denmark. Do you hear me?

Eddie: Yes, sir.

King Haraald: Now, about your young lady. If you say you love her as you do, and you believe she will make you happy, then marry her.

Queen: Haraald, you can't mean that. Maybe this is not a good time to discuss...

King Haraald: No, it's a perfect time. It is at the end of a man's life when he realizes how important his decisions were at the beginning.

Eddie: [leaves with a big grin and a certain eagerness]

Soren: Miss Paige, the Queen would like to see you immediately.

[Soren and Paige walk down hallway to the Queen's office]

Soren: Don't worry. I'll be by your side the entire time.

[Soren and Paige enter the Queen's office]

Queen: Soren, get out.

Soren: Yes, Your Majesty.

[backs off]

Paige: Thanks.

[Soren exits the Queen's office and closes the doors]

Queen: Being royal requires you to sacrifice who you are for who you must be.

Queen: Between you and me Paige, being queen is not without its charms.

[Takes Paige to a vault and shows her the royal jewelry]

Queen: So my dear, What would you like to wear for the coronation ball?

King Haroak: [Middle Eastern music plays in the background as King Haroak approaches his queen] You are looking as beautiful as ever.

Queen: And you're still the quintessential flatterer.

King Haroak: We haven't been in this place... together... for how long?

Queen: Ten years.

King Haroak: At least. You, uh... wanted to see me? Why?

Queen: I felt I should lend my support.

King Haroak: That's very considerate of you.

Queen: I believe one of the ransom conditions is that you abdicate your throne.

King Haroak: Yes.

Queen: You'd do that?

King Haroak: It's possible... as long as my successor is not an army man.

Queen: Well, I'm here if you need me.

[King Haroak kisses the queen's hand]

King Haroak: I won't forget that.

[King Haroak leaves the room]

Uncle Idris: [from the bedroom] Obviously doesn't have much faith in the military.

Queen: That's just his way of saying that he knows we're sleeping together.

Uncle Idris: You think that's all he knows?

Queen: Mm-hmm... or by now, you'd be soup for my supper.

King Haroak: [Middle Eastern music plays in the background as King Haroak approaches his queen inside the Lugash palace] You are looking as beautiful as ever.

Queen: Did I wake you?

Gen. Jaffar: No.

Queen: Are you alone?

Gen. Jaffar: No, I am in bed with a beautiful woman.

Queen: Don;t tease, even in fun.

Gen. Jaffar: I just spoke to our friend in France, something's,come up, and he plans to visit Uncle Idris.

[King Haroak is listening to the conversation, which is being taped in a separate surveillance room]

Queen: So soon?

Gen. Jaffar: Evidently, he had no alternative.

Queen: Rumor has it that the king is returning to the city tomorrow.

Richard of Gloucester: Mistress Shore is dead... As Protector of the Realm, I can not tolerate treachery to the Crown... Mistress Shore has been executed for such treachery.

Queen: There was no more faithful woman in the castle.

Richard of Gloucester: I had always thought that myself your Majesty, but when she admitted her crime, I had no choice.

Queen: You have executed a most trusted woman of this court without trial. You say that your motives are honorable? Those that suspect treason in others, should first look into their own hearts for loyalty.
