Napoleon Bonaparte : When I am dead and gone what will the world say of me?

Napoleon Bonaparte : Well they've done it! The whole of Europe has declared war against me! Not against France, but against me.
Le Bedoyere : They dignify you sire by making you a Nation!
Napoleon Bonaparte : [laughing] Dignify? Dignify? They deny me the decency of law! They make it legal that any clown can kill me.
Michel Ney : Well we've fought with mud in our boots before!

Napoleon Bonaparte : Le Bedoyere, do you have any children?
Le Bedoyere : Yes, sire; one son, very young,no taller than your boot.
Napoleon Bonaparte : And if he were with you, would you want him with you here today?
Le Bedoyere : Yes, sire.
Napoleon Bonaparte : Yes, why?
Le Bedoyere : So he could see you, sire.
Napoleon Bonaparte : See me? You know, I have a son. I'd give anything in the world to see him. I'd give my heart, I'd give my life, but not here. I wouldn't want him to witness this battle here today.
