Reign of Terror Quotes:

Charles D'Aubigny: Can't you see I'm not lying?
Madelon: Frankly, no.

Fouché: You had a visitor, I see.
Charles D'Aubigny: All work and no play?
Fouché: I thought you enjoyed your work.
Charles D'Aubigny: The real pleasure of my work went out with the guillotine. It's all over too fast now. Even hanging, that lasts for a few moments. No, Citizen Fouche. What this country needs is an elegant, slow death. Give a man four hours to die, it's worth watching.
Fouché: Let's try it sometime, shall we?
Charles D'Aubigny: Anyone in particular?
Fouché: Robespierre has a beautiful long list. We're gonna have some great times together, eh, Duval?
Charles D'Aubigny: Yes, I can hardly wait.

François Barras: I arrived just in time to see Danton on his way out. Exactly as you planned, wasn't it?
Maximilian Robespierre: Danton was my friend, not yours. Why should you feel badly about it?
François Barras: Because Danton was a good soldier. Without him, France would have been overrun by the armies of Europe.
Maximilian Robespierre: That was yesterday. Like all good soldiers, he outlived his usefulness.

Saint Just: You know something? I don't think you *are* Duval.
Charles D'Aubigny: No?
Saint Just: You don't look like a butcher.
Charles D'Aubigny: You know, at first glance, one could almost mistake you for a human being.

Maximilian Robespierre: I never shake hands. It's unsanitary.
