Aramis' beloved hat fell victim to an attack.
"Look at it! Look! It's ruined!"
"Yes, Aramis, we've all seen it."
"Oh, come on, Aramis, it's just a hat."
"Just a hat? This isn't just a hat, d'Artagnan. It's a part of me. I love this hat."
"Now it's a part of you with a big hole in it. Would you prefer the bullet hit your head instead? Be thankful, 'Mis."
"Maybe you can create a new fashion: Hats with holes. The nobility will be at your feet."
"You don't take this serious, my young fellow. Imagine something very precious to you is damaged, for example … your pauldron. I know you are very proud of your pauldron."
"Of course I am. But if it should be damaged, I will get a new one. It's stupid to be attached to a thing."
"As I told you before, this hat isn't just a thing. Together we went through hard times and good times. It protected my head against the sun and the rain. It even…"
"Give it to me."
"What?"
"The hat. Give it to me."
"Why?"
"I want to take a closer look at it."
"But be careful, Athos, it's already …. ATHOS!"
"Ooops, my sword slipped, I'm sorry."
"What did you do? You cut it in two!"
"It would seem so. Well, now that it is beyond repair I offer to buy you a new one."
"I can't believe it. You murdered my hat, Athos! You ... you deliberately cut it in two and … Wait. You're going to buy me a new one?"
"That's what I said. I 'murdered' the old one an now I'll pay for a new one."
"Mhh … A leathern one? With a feather?"
"Two feathers, a pink ribbon - whatever makes you happy."
"One of Monsieur Moreau's?"
"The king's hatter? Fine with me."
"So that's settled. Tomorrow you and I will pay Monsieur Moreau a visit. Have I ever told you how this hat helped me to seduce a noble lady …"
"Shut up, Aramis , or else I'm going to buy a muzzle, too."
