I'll call you Achilles if you prefer? Golden haired, hero of Troy, mighty in arms and bronze of skin. You might not want to emulate his more martial acts, but the aim is the same, isn't it? Conquer the enemy, take no prisoners? Bow to no king nor lord, whatever Agamemnom says. [He's rambling and he knows it, but Enjolras as Achilles is a great image.]
Also, you don't look unlike Brad Pitt from the movie. Admittedly you haven't got the jaw he does, but I think you'd look just a great oiled up.
Naturally Combeferre's Odysseus, he's the cleverest of us all. Of your myrmidon leaders, Courf is your greatest friend, Eudoros. Phoenix, famous for getting weepy over a speech, has to be Jehan... and I can't remember enough about Menesthius, Peisander, and Alcimedon to decide which of them are L'aigles, Feuilly, and Bahorel. [Pause] Except, Bahorel has to be Ajax, they're both giant brutes who love to fight more than's good for them. Marius can be the other captain, I guess.
[He sounds pleased with himself. It's not a perfect analogy but you only gave him like a second.]

[A sigh.] Our dear Jollly stayed home and tried to convince us all war would likely prove our deaths.

Fucking hell, Enjolras. You can't be literate in modern politics, social policy, debate and greek myths.

I still have all my brain cells left, hm?

There's no doubt of that, Achilles.

[He's not going senile, wow.]

[Although this long string of apparent sobriety is a good sign.]
I'll call you back, R.

[He doesn't realise it, but he's already looking for his keys, coat, and wallet to head down to the liquor store.]

[He means to the nickname. If it happens to work for the rest, well.]

Can't stop, won't stop. [Wallet found.]

Moments later he's out of his apartment. He is too sober for his life right now.]
