Quote context

- Trojans jumping at every rumor, pointing fingers at each other.

- Have your way. Go to Sparta. Go wherever you will, but don't try to drag the destiny of Troy with you.

- What destiny, to live like a crab in a shell?

- We live well. We tax traders at the sea gate. That's our blood.

- Stupidity! We'll choke on our own fat unless we sail our ships of trade. But how can we, when every harbor is an enemy's?

- Oh, I'm sick of your crazy dreams.

- Careful, brother. Paris has always been able to crack your neck.

- And you can thrash us both.

Top rated lines from this movie

Beware the Greeks bearing gifts.
My sons, the fool is the man who makes a quarrel of a debate.
Then tell me who pays for the Greek blood shed on this plain? -Trojan blood has paid in full. -Trojan blood is not valid currency in Sparta, nor does it pay for the launching of a thousand ships.
Nothing endures on Earth, Paris, neither sorrow nor happiness or people in love.
The goddess of beauty, Aphrodite, come down to Earth in mortal form. She will bring the disaster I have prophesied. Her name will be written in letters of fire. Helen. Helen of Troy.
