Quotes 

• Napoléon : The English are calling upon my men to desert by flooding our lines with this drivel. It'll have no effect on them!

  Maréchal Joachim Murat : I'm not so sure. The men have had enough. Most of the time we have to force them to obey!

  Napoléon : Have the officers discipline them again. That's why they're here.

  Maréchal Joachim Murat : The officers, they say that you torture your soldiers, and that you will never be able to seize Egypt.

  Napoléon : I have, Murat, Egypt is ours, almost ours. Cairo is a French city. The Nile Delta has been pacified, and all there is left to subjugate a few Turkish regiments.

  Maréchal Joachim Murat : Turks and Arabs, supported by the English. Be realistic, Bonaparte. We can't go on, especially with the plague on our heels.

  Napoléon : The doctors assured me that the epidemic could be contained.

  Maréchal Joachim Murat : The doctors can do nothing against fear.

  Napoléon : I can.

• Maréchal Joachim Murat : My dear Bonaparte, I trust you don't see my marriage to Caroline a bad match.

  Napoléon : You're my friend, Murat, and that's worth all the titles in the world. When I give my friendship, I never give it back. But a crown can be lost, and I would be grateful if you would stop calling me "my dear Bonaparte." Remember to call me Sire when you address me.

• Maréchal Joachim Murat : The road to Namur.

  Napoléon : Perfect. The Pope will think we've run into him totally by chance. I cannot let him imagine that I would make an effort to meet him. I owe him no more respect than to any petty little king.
