Claudius
- Messalina: What is your name?
- Demetrius: Demetrius.
- Messalina: You spoke of a god, Demetrius. Which god?
- Demetrius: There is only one God.
- Claudius: He's one of "them". This is very interesting. A Christian!
- Messalina: Are you a Christian?
- Demetrius: Yes.
- Messalina: And you won't fight?
- Demetrius: No.
- Claudius: He can't my dear. It's against his religion to kill.
- Messalina: Don't you find him interesting?
- Claudius: He's a remarkable young man. He has something that Rome has lacked since the early days of the republic, something to believe in - faith. Our early conquests weakened it. My family, we Caesars killed and buried it. Strange if the memory of a dead Jew should bring it to life again. Messalina, don't hurt him. Don't destroy what he has.
