Julius Caesar
- Julius Caesar: I thought you had reservations about the gods.
- Gracchus: Privately I believe in none of them - neither do you. Publicly, I believe in them all.
- Crassus: [about Antoninus and Spartacus] Let them fight now. Unchain them.
- Julius Caesar: The entire city's been told, they'll fight tomorrow in the temple of your ancestors.
- Crassus: They will fight now, for me! Here! And to the death! And the victor will be crucified!
- Julius Caesar: [about Spartacus] Did you fear him, Crassus?
- Crassus: Not when I fought him, I knew he could be beaten. But now I fear him, even more than I fear you.
- Julius Caesar: Me?
- Crassus: Yes, my dear Caesar, you.
- Marcus Licinius Crassus: Why have you left us for Gracchus and the mob?
- Julius Caesar: I've left no one, least of all Rome. This much I've learned from Gracchus, Rome is the mob.
- Crassus: No! Rome is an eternal thought in the mind of God.
- Julius Caesar: I had no idea *you'd* grown religious.
- Crassus: That doesn't matter. If there were no gods at all, I'd revere them. If there were no Rome, I'd dream of her as I want you to do.
- Julius Caesar: So now we deal with pirates. We bargain with criminals.
- Gracchus: Now, don't be so stiff-necked about it! Politics is a *practical* profession. If a criminal has what you want, you do business with him.
- Julius Caesar: Gracchus is my friend. I won't betray him.
- Marcus Licinius Crassus: Caesar? Which is worse? To betray a friend or to betray Rome herself?
