George Coulouris as Sir Robert de Baudricourt - governor of Vaucouleurs

• (Unnamed) "I am to lead the Dauphin's armies."
• (George Coulouris) "To lead his armies? When did the Dauphin have an army? And women don't lead armies, girl, they follow. If you want to become that, a camp follower, it can be arranged."

• (Unnamed) "Don't swear, La Hire. But if you must, swear "by my staff"."

• (Ward Bond) "Do you want to strike the army dumb?"
• (Unnamed) "This must begin with you."

• (Ward Bond) "She's one of two things; either a charlatan, or a fool."
• (Unnamed) "As for the first, I can't answer, as I don't know what the word means. If I am a fool, God as least has not held it against me."

• (Ward Bond) "Why are you crying?"
• (Unnamed) "Because they're dead. Horribly dead. And it was I who killed them."

• (Unnamed) "I can't watch it."

• (José Ferrer) "A ruler must compromise and bargain with the lowest kind of people, even the enemy. Men are governed by corruption, they like it."
