One of my favorite movie scenes of all time is from "The Lion in Winter" (1968) (and 2003 for that matter...) when Geoffrey, Richard, and John are in the dungeon waiting on the king to come for them. They have a little back and forth and Richard is going on about how he is going to meet his death. There is an interchange between them that I really like a lot. It goes like this:
Richard: He'll get no satisfaction out of me. He isn't going to see me beg.
Geoffrey: Why you chivalric fool—as if the way one fell down mattered.
Richard: When the fall is all there is, it matters.
