- Vibio: [to Claudia who's come to watch his flogging] Ah, mistress, why don't you come closer? It's hard to see blood drawn from that distance.
- Fabiola: I want this coward lashed.
- San Sebastiano: I don't think he's a coward.
- Fabiola: In any case, the whip will do him good.
- Fabio: I'll give you 400 for him. 300 to be paid to the state. I think 100 should be enough to corrupt you.
- Agnese: To me they are not slaves, Claudia. I consider them as my equals.
- Fabiola: I don't understand you.
- Agnese: You will though, one day. You will believe. Everyone will soon believe words like forgiveness and justice.
- Fabiola: Justice and forgiveness? Poor Agnese. Poor Agnese, you have no conception of the evils of mankind.
- Agnese: I know what goodness means now. And goodness will cure evil.
- Fabiola: Words. Your - your trouble is youth. The young always fall in love with words.
- Vibio: You order me to work - and I'll work. This is what your father bought me for. But, I will not humiliate myself to make you or your guests laugh.
- Vibio: Sebastian, they can't martyrize us any longer. I can no longer turn the other cheek. We can't let them torture us without reacting. Haven't you suffered enough?
- San Sebastiano: What have I had to suffer? How easy it is to suffer when you know that it may show the way to peace.
- Iface: You know, I like women like you. You know what you want and you're not afraid to ask for it.
- Fabiola: What should I be afraid of?
- Iface: Yes, I've always wanted to have a woman like you.
- Fabiola: You haven't answered me yet.
- Iface: This is quite an occasion for me.
- Fabiola: Let me go. Don't touch me!
- Massimiano: Select a squad of your finest archers and have them tie this traitor to a tree. Shoot him full of your sharpest arrows - and I want him to feel the points. Don't shoot at his heart. You will cover his entire body with arrows. Let the blood drain slowly from his wounds. I want this traitor to suffer.
