Achilles:
Apparently you won some great victory. Agamemnon:
Ah, Perhaps you didn't notice. The Trojan beach belonged to Priam in the morning. It belongs to Agamemnon in the afternoon. Achilles:
You can have the beach. I didn't come here for sand. Agamemnon:
No. You came here because you want your name to last through the ages. A great victory was won today, but that victory is not yours. Kings did not kneel to Achilles. Kings did not pay homage to Achilles. Achilles:
Perhaps the kings were too far behind to see, the soldiers won the battle. Agamemnon:
History remembers kings! Not soldiers! Tomorrow we'll batter down the gates of Troy! I'll build monuments to victory on every island of Greece. I'll carve "Agamemnon" in the stone. Achilles:
Be careful, king of kings. First you need the victory. Agamemnon:
Your men sacked the temple of Apollo, yes? Achilles:
You want gold? Take it. It's my gift to honour your courage. Take what you wish. Agamemnon:
I already have. Aphareus! Haemon! [Aphareus and Haemon appear dragging Briseis] Agamemnon:
The spoils of war. Achilles:
No argument with you, brothers. But if you don't release her, you'll never see home again. Decide! Agamemnon:
Guards! [Achilles draws his sword] Briseis:
[breaking free from guards]
Stop! Too many men have died today. If killing is your only talent, that's your curse. I don't want anyone dying for me. [Achilles groans, then sheathes his sword] Agamemnon:
Mighty Achilles, silenced by a slave girl. Tonight I'll have her give me a bath, and then, who knows? Achilles:
You sack of wine! Before my time is done, I will look down on your corpse and smile

Movie Summary
In year 1250 B.C. during the late Bronze age, two emerging nations begin to clash. Paris, the Trojan prince, convinces Helen, Queen of Sparta, to leave her husband Menelaus, and sail with him back to Troy. After Menelaus finds out that his wife was taken by the Trojans, he asks his brother Agamemnom to help him get her back. Agamemnon sees this as an opportunity for power. So they set off with 1,000 ships holding 50,000 Greeks to Troy. With the help of Achilles, the Greeks are able to fight the never before defeated Trojans.
