Betty Roland: Messalina

Caligula and Messalina

Messalina

Brutish Man with Messalina: I never saw anybody as pretty as you.
Messalina: Don't let it put you off. I'm not made glass.
Brutish Man with Messalina: But you're as delicate as a rose.
[Messalina notices the Brute's huge bulge between his legs.]
Messalina: Fantastic... Roses have to be plucked. When does the pruning begin? You've got such a wild reputation, that everybody's talking... It's time that you gave me a chance. I can wait no longer... Climb aboard.
[Messalina and the Brute engage in sexual activities.]

Messalina: He's so inhuman!
Messalina's Mother: He's Caesar. It's all pre-destined. You can't change it, so stop worrying about it. You're soon to follow the will of the gods and fulfil the prophcey. Once his sisters are on Capri, exiled, your way will be free to become Empress.
Messalina: How can I come to Caligula's notice?
Messalina's Mother: Leave the arrangments to me, dear. Trust in your mother. I know one way. He'd want everyone in Rome to forgive him for this massacre. So, he'd give them a spectacle. It's the Patrician way to placate the fury of the mob. And you will be the first woman to fight a gladiator and win. Wild excuse, I suppose I taught you to do battle. And when you were only a baby I gave you your first lessons in love making.
[Messalina and her mother embrace one another; and engage in incestuous lesbian love making.]

Messalina: All hail Caesar, mighty Emperor, I solute you!
Caligula: Why send such a splendid creature to die in the Arena?
Caliste: I did my best to dissuade her from entering the contest, only she's a determined girl, and I couldn't. She wanted to put her life in your hands. Her destiny depends on her Emperor's thumb; Up or down.
Caligula: I grant you two acers of land, and four-hundred gold pieces.
Messalina: My thanks, Caesar!
Caligula: I granted you double because you're a woman. But I want something in exchange. I want you to emasculate him. Do not disobey me. You're ordered by your Devine Emperor.

Agrippina: You look well, Miss Messalina. Let me look at you. Motherhood has made you stronger, and more beautiful than you ever were.
Messalina: Yes, everything predicted by the Oracle has come true for me. I've been so very fortunate. The gods in deed smile upon me; and give me their protection. My Divine son enjoys good health too.
Agrippina: Claudius will be over joyed to see you.
Messalina: You mean, he's soon to return?
Agrippina: He's on his way.
Messalina: I'm not sure how to explain to him what happened. I'll never accept the child.
Agrippina: I think maybe there's an answer. Virgin motherhood among the gods isn't uncommon, people will believe anything of deities. I told Silio, Claudius is only to think to have a name.
Messalina: Did you say, Silio? But he's the Emperor's companion.
Agrippina: He's the one who brought news of his return.
Messalina: I knew, Silio well, when he went to conquer Gaul, I was only a child. I was in love with him. I'd enjoy seeing him again.
Agrippina: You shall, very soon. And I'm sure you'll get news that's only for you.

Claudius: To what do I owe this honor?
Messalina: I had trouble sleeping; I saw it was illuminated in here, so I wondered right in. I'd probably find no one else awake at this hour, except you, Sage Claudius.
Claudius: I study history all night. If you call that sage then sage is Claudius.
Messalina: You should be apart of history, it's only right, not simply sitting there studying it.
Claudius: I leave that to my glorious nephew. Your youth prevents you from appreciating the past
Messalina: Humility is not one of the best requisites to greatness. You should not underestimate yourself.
Claudius: Your kindness is overwhelming... Tell me the real reason that you are here.
Messalina: I'm bored with life here in the palace. I need some new distractions; a new experience. I'm tired of doing what a woman is suppose to do.
Claudius: It's not easy for a woman like you to satisfy her... ambitions in the world we live in now. She must conform, but with me you no need to play that role. My impotence prevents me from treating you like others do.
Messalina: Don't resign yourself to so sad a fate. I'll soon restore your former figure; and make you feel a man once more. If you desire me, I'll be yours and yours alone. I'll be true to you always.
[Messalina and Claudius make out.]

Caligula: You didn't obey me. Made fool of me in front of the crowd. I want to know, why you did it? Your pride could get you into trouble.
Messalina: I see no reason to turn a gladiator into a eunuch.
Caligula: You have courage, and your reply is sharp, but is that the real reason?
Messalina: With all due respect, Caesar, I'm strong because I'm still a virgin; and will remain so until I decide to change my condition.
Caligula: Are you telling me, that if I order you to bed with me, you'll deny me my desire in that too?
Messalina: Yes, and I'll ask for a judgement of Aphrodite.
Caligula: Do not call upon the goddess of love to intervene; She could not be fair... She could only interfere.
Messalina: My dedication to Vesta is second only to my loyalty to my Devine Emperor; and it is for him to decide my fate.
Caligula: It is I, who am your slave Miss Messalina. Do with me as you wish. Caress me with your warm lips.

Messalina: Oh Sirio... I'm gonna faint. I'll always be Valeria to you; that sweet playmate of your youth.
Silius: Do not remind me of days lost forever. Fate has decided otherwise.
Messalina: Is it not fate that brings you to me, here today?
Silius: Fate is seldom kind; and it bring me here under different circumstances. Now, there's an impenetrable barrier that separates us.
Messalina: You're wrong. The barrier between us will fall if you kiss me, as you did when you said farewell.

Messalina: Do you think I'm beautiful?
[Randy Midget: More beautiful than Helen of Troy, a whore worthy of the gods]
Messalina: You wicked little thing.
[Randy Midget: But my lady, did not Jove choose a whore for his Venus?]
Messalina: I wanna be a vestal virgin for Claudius.
[Randy Midget: Don't be too hard on one, who already has difficulties getting it up]
Messalina: You're just envious of him because at least his doesn't drag on the floor.
[Randy Midget: As an Emperor I envy him but certainly not as a man. Feast your eyes on this]
Messalina: [the randy midget exposes himself to Messalina, she gasps, and two them engage in sexual activities with Claudius]

[Randy Midget: Try this phallus fashioned by nature, my lady, it'll give you vigor... It'll remind you of Arcadian's]
Drusilla: You little runt, you knew Arcadian too, Aye?
[Randy Midget: Oh, I did, before he was food for worms. Our Devine Messalina sucked him drier than a desecrated coconut]
Messalina: I'll thank you to keep quiet!
[Randy Midget: I mean no ill offense. I merely told Drusilla what a lovely couple of doves her Aunt and Sirio are]
