Danton (1983)

Roger Planchon: Fouquier-Tinville

Quotes 

• Robespierre : Fouquier, if we back off, we're all sunk.

  Fouquier-Tinville : I'm a judge. I'm not your private executioner.

  Robespierre : You are an executioner! Not mine - the people's! You serve justice! We send you the Republic's enemies! Your duty is not to judge them but to destroy them!

• Fouquier-Tinville : You no longer have law on your side.

  Robespierre : When the Republic is at stake, we have every right. Never forget that. Say another word and you'll be arrested.
