it's sure death.
I won't even have time to put
on a lieutenant's uniform.
I'll give the commission
to M. d'Artagnan,
after you have breakfast
in the Saint-Gervais bastion.
Breakfast under enemy fire?
Wonderful!
Breakfast under enemy fire?
Wonderful!
Excellent!
The adventures continue.
I have a toast, gentlemen!
- Let's drink to...
- Sorry to interrupt you.
- What is it?
- An enemy detachment, sir.
- How many men?
- About 40, sir.
- At what distance?
- About 500 paces, sir.
Then we have enough time
to finish the chicken.
- And empty the wine bottles.
- And excellent thought!
I'd like to drink this wine
to your health, d'Artagnan!
No! You wanted to raise
your glass to something else.
Sorry to interrupt.
But I see another detachment.
Of about 200.
- At what distance?
- About 300 paces.
That's good!
- What did I want to say?
- To pronounce a toast.
I'd like to raise
this glass
to what awaits us in the future.
And what is that?
This war will end
and I can clearly see
what awaits each
of us.
Aramis will leave this
mundane life.
Yes, this life is but a crypt.
Porthos will return home
and get married.
On Sundays his wife
will give him money,
and bear him 14 children.
Round, charming
tiny Porthoses.
D'Artagnan will be a marshal!
And will then retire,
After many heroic feats.
What about you, my dear Athos?
I'll take up residence
In a small house.
You mean to say, we'll never
meet again?
No, we'll meet again,
my friends.
- What will it be?
- 20 years from now!
- Maybe, 10?
- or after 3 or 4 centuries.
Pardon me,
But I see another detachment.
- How many men?
- About 800, sir.
- At what distance?
- 30 paces, sir.
- How many muskets do we have?
- 4!
- How many swords?
- 4!
- And how many of us, Athos?
- Me!
- Porthos?
- Me!
- Aramis?
- Me!
And d'Artagnan!
One for all,
And all for one!
When your friend is bleeding,
A la guerre comme
A la guerre!
When your friend is bleeding,
Be there till the end.
But don't call your friend,
A la guerre comme a la guerre,
But don't call your friends
A coward, or a liar.
The enemy has fallen,
Poor devil,
But insolence
is intolerable!
