Commander Claudius
- Pontius Pilate: I wait for no one! Least of all - a woman.
- Commander Claudius: Perhaps there's one woman worth waiting for.
- Pontius Pilate: No woman!
- Commander Claudius: Not even that one?
- [nods in the direction of Salome]
- King Herod: Commander, welcome back to Galilee.
- Commander Claudius: I'm very happy to be here.
- King Herod: I trust you - relaxed properly in Rome. I shall enjoy hearing of your conquests, as if they were my own. You must give me an account in detail, my dear Commander. In detail.
- Commander Claudius: What is the measure of love?
- Princess Salome: What is asked of another and what is granted.
- Commander Claudius: Anything.
- Commander Claudius: Rome cannot go on as it has - ruling with the sword and the whip. If we are to survive, we must recognize that a new force is coming into the world.
- Pontius Pilate: New force?
- Commander Claudius: The religion of this prophet. It will bring hope to the conquered. It will bring peace to all men - by teaching every manhood to live at peace with his neighbors. This faith will march across the world and win men, where Rome could only conquer them.
- Pontius Pilate: Caesar is the only faith possible for a Roman!
