Quotes
-
Phillipe : Sir, the truth is, I talk to God all the time, and, no offense, but He never mentioned you.
-
Etienne Navarre : Each generation is called upon to follow its own quest.
Phillipe : And what is your quest?
Etienne Navarre : I must kill a man.
Phillipe : Tell me - does this walking corpse have a name?
-
Soldier #1 : Where is Navarre?
Phillipe : Navarre? Navarre? Ah, yes. Big man, black horse. I thought I saw him ride south, toward Aquila
Soldier #2 : Ha, then we ride north.
Phillipe : It isn't polite to assume that someone is a liar when you've only just met them.
Soldier #1 : And yet you knew we would. We ride south.
Phillipe : [talking to God] I told the truth, Lord. How can I learn any moral lessons when you keep confusing me this way?
-
Phillipe : We have come full circle, Lord. I would like to think there is some higher meaning in this. It certainly would reflect well on You.
-
[after picking someone's pocket]
Phillipe : I know I promised, Lord, never again. But I also know that YOU know what a weak-willed person I am.
-
Soldier #2 : [finds Phillipe hiding on an embattlement ledge] Where is the woman?
Phillipe : She flew away.
Soldier #2 : I said where is she?
Phillipe : God's truth! She flew away!
Soldier #2 : If you don't...
[soldier is shot by Navarre's crossbow bolt and falls to his death]
Phillipe : Always pays to tell the truth, Lord. Thank you. I see that now.
-
Phillipe : [escaping from the dungeon] This is not unlike escaping my mother's womb. God, what a memory.
-
Phillipe : [gathering firewood for Navarre] Look at me, Lord. I was better off in the dungeons of Aquila. My cellmate was insane, and a murderer... but HE respected me!
-
Phillipe : Lord, I'll never pick another pocket again as long as I live. I swear it. But here's the problem: You've got to let me live. How can I prove my good faith to you? If you've heard me, this ledge will remain steady as a rock, and that thing coming at me won't be what I think it is. If it is, there's no hard feelings, of course, but I'd be very disappointed.
-
Phillipe : [referring to Navarre] He wants something from me. I can see it in his eyes. Well, whatever it is, I'm not going to do it! I'm still a young man, you know. I've got prospects!
-
Phillipe : There are strange forces at work in your life. Magical ones that surround you. I don't understand them, but they frighten me. You have given me my life. The truth is I can never repay you. I have no honor, and never will have. I don't think you would kill me for being what I am, but better that than to return to Aquila.
[he starts to walk away when Navarre throws his sword at the tree next to him]
Phillipe : [Phillipe turns back to see Navarre looking at him wickedly]
Phillipe : ...I'll gather some wood for the fire.

[Ladyhawke flies to Phillipe instead of Navarre]
Etienne Navarre : Last night...
Phillipe : Captain?
Etienne Navarre : Tell me about it.
Phillipe : What's to tell?
[to Ladyhawke]
Phillipe : Go on, go. Go, go... Go to the one you love. Well, we ran into a bit of trouble on our way to an inn.
Etienne Navarre : You took Isabeau to an inn?
Phillipe : Well, first we had to go to a stable.
Etienne Navarre : What did you do in a stable?
Phillipe : We changed clothes.
Etienne Navarre : *What*?
Phillipe : Well, not together, of course.
Etienne Navarre : You left her alone?
Phillipe : No, never.
Etienne Navarre : So you *did* change.
Phillipe : No. No. No.
-
Etienne Navarre : This lady... Did she perhaps have a name?
Phillipe : Not that she mentioned, why?
Etienne Navarre : Well, she may wander into my dreams. Wouldn't it be nice, if I could call her by name and pretend we've met before? I've waited a long time for such a lady.
-
Phillipe : She loves you more than life itself. She's had to.
-
Phillipe : If you lay one hand on her you will find it on the ground next to your head. Now ride on!
-
Phillipe : [regarding the empty space in the hilt of Navarre's sword] Sir, you don't think that I took that...
Etienne Navarre : No, this is mine to fill. Each generation is called upon to follow its own quest.
Phillipe : What is your quest?
Etienne Navarre : I must kill a man.
Phillipe : Tell me - does this walking corpse have a name?
Etienne Navarre : His Grace, the Bishop of Aquila.
Phillipe : The Bishop. I see. Well... Well, then you have much to do. And I've already been enough of a burden to you. I do hope our paths cross again one day.
Etienne Navarre : I need you to guide me into the city.
Phillipe : Not for the life of my mother! Even if I knew who she was.
Etienne Navarre : You are the only one who has ever escaped from there.
Phillipe : It was chance! Pure chance! A miracle! Once in a lifetime! I fell down a hole and followed my nose!
Etienne Navarre : [sighs] I have waited almost two years for a sign from God. So when I heard the morning bells of Aquila, I knew the moment of my destiny had come. You will be my guiding angel.
Phillipe : Me?
Etienne Navarre : [nods]
Phillipe : Sir, the truth is I talk to God all the time, and no offense, but He never mentioned you.
Etienne Navarre : No?
-
Etienne Navarre : I need you to guide me.
Phillipe : Not for the life of my mother! Even if I knew who she was.
-
[first lines]
Phillipe : Impossible. Impossible. Nothing is impossible. Come on, Mouse. Dig! Dig, Mouse. Come on.
-
Phillipe : Not much farther. About 350 miles... That's all.
-
Phillipe Gaston : What a night...
Etienne Navarre : What happened?
Phillipe : Oh, nothing I couldn't handle.
