How many battles have we won off the edge of his sword?

Nestor
That man was born to end lives.
Nestor
I thought you were a dumb brute. I could have forgiven a dumb brute.
Briseis
Stop! Too many men have died today! If killing is your only talent, that's your curse. I don't want
anyone dying for me.
Briseis
Do you enjoy provoking me?
Briseis
May the Gods keep the wolves in the hills and the women in our beds.
Menelaus
See the crows? They've never tasted Prince before.
Menelaus
If you stay in Larissa, you will find peace. You will find a wonderful woman, and you will have
sons and daughters, who will have children. And they'll all love you and remember your name.
But when your children are dead, and their children after them, your name will be forgotten... If
you go to Troy, glory will be yours. They will write stories about your victories in thousands of
years! And the world will remember your name. But if you go to Troy, you will never come
back... for your glory walks hand-in-hand with your doom. And I shall never see you again.
Thetis
Menelaus was a brave man. He fought for honor. And every day I was with him, I wanted to
walk into the sea and drown.
Helen
Soldiers of Troy! It has been my honor to lead you! Come, the boatman awaits us! I say, let us
make him wait a little longer!
Achilles can't be controlled!

Agamemnon
I almost lost this war because of you.
Agamemnon
He's going to take the beach of Troy with 50 men?
Agamemnon
You'll be my slave in Mycenae. A Trojan priestess scrubbing my floors. And at night... [Briseis
stabs him in the neck with a Trojan blade]
Agamemnon
Men are haunted by the vastness of eternity. And so we ask ourselves: will our actions echo
across the centuries? Will strangers hear our names long after we are gone, and wonder who we
were, how bravely we fought, how fiercely we loved?
Odysseus
This war will never be forgotten, nor will the heroes who fight in it. I lived in the time of
Achilles.
Odysseus
War is young men dying and old men talking. You know this. Ignore the politics.
Odysseus
It is not an insult to say a dead man is dead.
Odysseus
To Achilles Then fight for me. My wife will feel much better knowing you're riding beside me.
I'll feel much better.
Odysseus
If they ever tell my story let them say that I walked with giants. Men rise and fall like the winter
wheat, but these names will never die. Let them say I lived in the time of Hector, tamer of horses.
Let them say
Odysseus

I see 50,000 men brought here to fight for one man's greed.
Hector
I want to see him grow tall. I want to see all the girls chasing after him.
Hector
You say you're willing to die for love but you know nothing about dying and you know nothing
about love!
Hector
All of my life I have lived by a code and the code is simple: honor the gods, love your woman and defend your country. Troy is mother to us all. Fight for her!
Hector
I killed a boy today. He was young; Too young!
Hector
Yesterday the Greeks underestimated us. We should not return the favor
Hector
Then I'll make it easy for him to find me. I'll walk right up to him and tell him you're mine.
Paris
The sun was shining when your wife left you.
Paris
I knew your father. He died well before his time. But he was fortunate enough to not have lived
long enough to see his son fall.
Priam
I loved my son from the moment he opened his eyes until the moment you closed them.
Priam
50,000 men did not come to watch your brother fight. You know this.
Andromache
I can't imagine life without you.

Andromache
We were going to sail home today. I don't think anyone's sailing home now.
Eudorus
He wore your armor. Your shield, your greaves, your helmet. He even moved like you.
Eudorus
This will be the greatest war the world has ever seen. We need the greatest warrior.
Nestor
[Speaking to Agamemnon] Before my time is done, I will look down on your corpse and smile!
Achilles
[To Hector] We will meet again my brother.
Achilles
You are free. If I hurt you, it's not what I wanted. [pause] Go. No one will stop you. You have my
word.
Achilles
Men die protecting you. Perhaps they deserve more than your pity.
Achilles
Is there no one else? Is there no one else?
Achilles
You gave me peace in a lifetime of war.
Achilles
It's too early in the day to be killing princes.
Achilles
Myrmidons! My brothers of the sword! I would rather fight beside you than any army of
thousands! Let no man forget how menacing we are, we are lions! Do you know what's waiting
beyond that beach? Immortality! Take it! It's yours!
Achilles

Get up, Prince of Troy! Won't let stone take my glory!

Achilles
Never hesitate.
You are a far better king than the one leading this army.
Achilles
There are no pacts between lions and men.
Achilles
Now you know who you are fighting!
Achilles
I'll tell you a secret. Something they don't teach you in your temple. The Gods envy us. They
envy us because we're mortal, because any moment might be our last. Everything is more
beautiful because we're doomed. You will never be lovelier than you are now. We will never be
here again.
Achilles
We men are wretched things.
Achilles
At night I sometimes see them. The faces of the men I killed. They're waiting for me on the far
bank of the Styx. They say, Welcome, brother.
Achilles
You don't have to fear me girl. You're the only Trojan who can say that.
Achilles
Greece got along fine before I was born, Greece will be Greece long after I'm gone.
Achilles
The man wants to die!
Agamemnon

The Gods only protect the strong.

Agamemnon
Empires are forged by war.
Agamemnon
Peace is for women and the weak.
Agamemnon
That boy may have just saved the war for us.
Agamemnon
