• Camille Desmoulins : I don't want to die. I have a right to live.

  Philippeaux : A man has only those rights he can defend.

  Danton : I'm flattered.

• Philippeaux : You are to die in five days. Admit it and give up all hope. When death is sure, suffering comes to a quick end.

• Philippeaux : Stop sniveling or I'll ask for another cell.
