Alexander Quotes

Attalus:
[Raising a toast at Philip's wedding party] To Philip and Eurydice! And to their legitimate son! To Philip...
Alexander:
[Alexander throws a wine cup at him] And what am I? You son of a dog. Come then.
Philip:
[Attalus throws his cup at Alexander and soon a fight breaks out] Quiet. Shut up! Shut up all of you! This is my wedding, not some public brawl! Apologize, by Zeus, before you dishonor me.
Alexander:
You defend the man that calls my mother a whore and me a bastard? And I dishonor you?
Philip:
Bah! You listen like your mother. Attalus is family now, same as you.
Alexander:
Then choose your relatives more carefully. Don't expect me to sit here and watch you shame yourself.
Philip:
Shame?
Attalus:
You insult me!
Alexander:
I insult you? A man not fit to lick the ground my mother walks on? You dog, questioning your queen!
Philip:
Shame? I've nothing to be ashamed of, you arrogant brat! I'll marry the girl if I want, and I'll have as many sons as I want, and there's nothing you or your harpy mother can do about it!
Alexander:
Why, drunken man, must you think everything I do and say comes from my mother?
Philip:
Because I know her heart, by Hera! And I see her in your eyes. You covet this throne too much. Now! We all know that that she-wolf of a mother of yours wants me dead! Well, you can both dream boy.
Philip:
Come Philip, 'tis the wine talking. Leave the boy, it can wait till the morning.
Philip:
Now! I command you... apologize to your kinsman. [Alexander stands in silence looking at Attalus]
Philip:
Apologize!
Alexander:
He's no kinsman to me. Good night old man, and when my mother remarries, I'll invite you to her wedding. [Walks away]
Philip:
You bastard! You'll obey me. Come here. [Alexander looks at Philip and continues to walk away, Philip grabs his sword and prepares to attack Alexander, but falls to the ground in a drunken stupor]
Alexander:
This is the man who's going to take you from Greece to Persia? He can't even make it from one couch to the next.
Philip:
Get out of my palace! You're exiled, you bastard! Banished from the land, you're not welcome here! You're no son of mine!

Parmenion:
[his men are being pushed back] Philotas! Philotas! [grabs his son]
Parmenion:
Go! Tell Alexander yourself. And if he won't listen, then survive me, and avenge this betrayal!

Old Ptolemy:
[about the Hydaspes battle] It was the bloodiest of his battles. Pure butchery, the end of all reason... we'd never be men again.

Philip:
There's only one thing better than winning a battle, son... [he kisses a beautiful girl]
Philip:
... and that's the taste of a new woman. You'll find it far sweeter than self-pity.

Philip:
It's never easy to escape our mothers, Alexander. All your life beware of women. They're far more dangerous than men.

Alexander:
You birthed me in a sack of hate! Hate you have for those stronger than you!
Olympias:
I taught you my heart! And by Zeus and Dionysus you grew beautiful!
Alexander:
Damn your sorceress soul!
Olympias:
Your soul is mine, Alexander.
Alexander:
No! You've taken from me everything I've ever loved! You've made me you!
Olympias:
Stop it! Stop acting like a boy! You're a king, act like one!

Crateros:
In the rain and the sun we've fought for you. Some of us fifty battles we've been in. We've killed many a barbarian. And now when I look around, how many of their faces do I see?
Alexander:
You know there's no part of me without a scar or a bone broken. I've shared every hardship with all of you!
Crateros:
Aye, you have, my king. And we love you for it. But, by Zeus, too many have died. We're just humble men. We seek no disturbance with the gods. All we wish for is to see our children.

This I know, Alexander. In Persia you are a great king. Here, they hate you. Let us go back to Persia. There you are strong.
Alexander:
We'll talk about this later.
Roxane:
Yes. Later. Talk.
Alexander:
I will come.
Roxane:
And I will wait.
