Danton movie plot

Danton: The same men mustn't stay in power too long.

Robespierre: You aspire to power?

Danton: I don't need to aspire to power. I have it. The only real power: from the man in the street. Because I understand him and he understands me. Never forget that.

Robespierre: I won't. But likewise don't you forget that I'll stop at nothing to bring happiness to the people.

Danton: Bring happiness to the people? You know nothing of the people! How could you know? Look at you. You don't drink, you in your powdered wigs! Swords make you faint, and they say you've never had a woman. Who do you speak for? Make men happy? You're not even a man yourself.
