Quotes 

• Rambal : You are fine enemies, though. Fine men. Our king of Naples knows good men, and he cried, "Bravo! Soldiers, like ourselves!"

• Pierre Bezukhov : Paris is the capital of the world.

  Rambal : A man who doesn't know Paris is simply a barbarian.

• Rambal : Fearsome in war, gallant with the women - that's the French! Is it true that all the women have left Moscow? What a curious idea. What had they to fear?

• Rambal : Your ladies, they are said to be beautiful. Why flee to the steppes when the French army is in Moscow? What a chance they have lost. Your peasants, I understand, but your civilized people ought to know better. We have taken Vienna, Berlin, Rome, Naples, Madrid, Warsaw - all the capitals of the world. We are feared, but loved. We are worth knowing.

• Rambal : I'd know a Parisian a mile away. Paris! Paris is Talma, La Duchesnois, Pothier, the Sorbonne, the boulevards. Exquisite.

• Rambal : Brigand, you shall pay for this! We are merciful after victory, but we hate cowards!
