In this short scene, the three musketeers discuss their plans for the upcoming wedding ball. The lieutenant tells the musketeers that the wedding will take place on the night of the ball, which means that the women will have to stay home and watch over their daughters. He tells them that the rumor that their brother is going to be the next captain is true, and that they can still protect their family name if they part ways now. He then asks the women if they would like to die now if they knew their brother was going to succeed. They all agree that their lives are worthless if they only value the things in life that are important to them.
