Agamemnon: I see you're not hiding behind your high walls. Valiant of you. Ill-advised, but valiant.
Hector: You come here uninvited. Go back to your ships and go home.
Agamemnon: We've come too far, Prince Hector.
Menelaus: Prince? What prince? What son of a king would accept a man's hospitality, eat his food, drink his wine, embrace him in friendship, then steal his wife in the middle of the night?
Paris: The sun was shining when your wife left you.
Menelaus: She's up there, watching, isn't she? Good. I want her to watch you die.
Agamemnon: Not yet, brother. Look around you, Hector. I brought all the warriors of Greece to your shores.
Nestor: You can still save Troy young prince.
Agamemnon: I have two wishes. If you grant them, no more of your people need die. First, you must give Helen back to my brother. Second, Troy must submit to my command, to fight for me whenever I call.
Hector: You want me to look on your army and tremble? Well I see them. I see 50,000 men brought here to fight for one man's greed.
Agamemnon: Careful boy, my mercy has limits.
Hector: And I've seen the limits of your mercy and I tell you now, no son of Troy will ever submit to a foreign ruler.
Agamemnon: Then every son of Troy shall die.
Hector: I see 50,000 men brought here to fight for one man's greed.
Paris: [to Helen] 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: [discussing the wooden horse] Father, burn it.
Achilles: [to Briseis] You are free. If I hurt you, it's not what I wanted.
[pause]
Achilles: Go. No one will stop you. You have my word.
Achilles: [to Hector] We will meet again my brother.
Priam: [to Achilles] I knew your father. He died well before his time. But we was fortunate enough to not have lived long enough to see his son fall.
Hector: [about his baby son] I want to see him grow tall. I want to see all the girls chasing after him.
Paris: Father, this is Helen.
Priam: Helen? Helen of Sparta?
Paris: Helen of Troy.
Patroclus: But this is a war!
Achilles: [Quietly to Patroclus] Cousin, I can't fight the Trojans if I'm concerned for you. Guard the ship.
Andromache: 50,000 men did not come to watch your brother fight. You know this.
Paris: The sun was shining when your wife left you.
Achilles: [to Birseis] Men die protecting you. Perhaps they deserve more than your pity.
Eudorus: We were going to sail home today. I don't think anyone's sailing home now.
Eudorus: [about Patroclus] He wore your armor. Your sheild, your greaves, your helmet. He even moved like you.
