罗马帝国兴亡史"I, Claudius"(1977)

Drusus: You know, you mustn't mind if you dislike me. A mother can't love all her children. Drusus: A man should keep himself clean, not have slaves do it. Tiberius: And how's he supposed to scrape his own back? Drusus: He gets his brother to do it. Tiberius: If he hasn't got a brother? Drusus: He gets his son. Tiberius: If he hasn't got a son? Drusus: Gets his friend. Tiberius: And if he hasn't got a friend? Drusus: Then he should go and hang himself. Tiberius: I've tried it. Better to have a slave scrape your back. [On Claudius] Livia: That child should have been exposed at birth. Senator: There are those who say you cannot hear properly, you cannot speak properly, and that you've got no experience of government. Claudius: And that I am besides half-witted. Senators, it is true that I am hard of hearing, but you will find it is not for want of listening. As for speaking, again, it's true I have an impediment. But isn't what a man says more important than how long he takes to say it? It's true again I have little experience of government. But then, have you more? I at least have lived with the imperial family who has ruled this empire ever since you so spinelessly handed it over to us. I've observed it working more closely than any of you. Is your experience better than that? As for being half-witted, well, what can I say - except that I have survived to middle age with *half* my wits, while thousands have died with *all* of theirs intact. Evidently, *quality* of wits is more important than *quantity*. Senators, I shall do nothing unconstitutional; I shall appear at the next session of the senate where you may confirm me in my position or not as you wish. But if it pleases you not to, explain your reasons to them [points at the Praetorians] Claudius: Not to me. Messalina: [SPOILER] [Before dying] Messalina: NO. NOT MY HEAD. Caligula: [Livia is on her deathbed] I hear you're dying, great grandmother. Livia: You won't forget your promise, will you? Caligula: 复制复制成功复制失败，请手动复制

To make you a goddess? And what makes you think that a filthy, smelly old woman like you could become a goddess? I don't need you anymore, you see, great grandmother. My secret will die with you. You are going to stew in hell for ever and ever. Let me tell you something: Drusillus has made another prophecy. Told Tiberius. He said, "One who is going to die soon will become the greatest god the world has ever known. No temples will be dedicated to anyone but him in the whole Roman world, not even to Augustus." Do you know who that one is? Me. *ME*. I shall become the greatest god of all. And I shall look down on you suffering all the torments of hell, and I shall say, "Leave her there. Leave her there forever and ever and ever." 复制复制成功复制失败，请手动复制

[He kisses her] Caligula: Goodbye, great grandmother. [first line] Claudius: I, Tiberius Claudius Drusus Nero Germanicus... this, that and the other... [to the senate] Augustus: I called you all here to talk about the level of opposition to my new law against bachelorism. Do you know what I say? I say: "STOP COMPLAINING AND GET MARRIED." [On seeing your ex-spouse in secret] Livia: You saw Julia's mother after your divorce. Augustus: Yes, but not in secret. Livia: Well I don't remember being present... [On Marcellus] Tiberius: Frankly, I wouldn't have thought you'd care whether he lived or died. Livia: Oh I care very much whether he lives or dies. Livia: Tell me, what do you think of Julia? Tiberius: Nothing. Why? Livia: Nobody could accuse you of being devious. She thinks very well of you. Tiberius: What's that supposed to mean. Livia: Nothing. She likes you, that's all. Always has. Tiberius: Mother, I'm a happily married man. Julia doesn't interest me. She wouldn't interest me even if you hung her naked from the ceiling above my bed. Livia: She might even do that if I asked her. Marcus Agrippa: I'm getting a little tired of being taught the arts of war by kids that have only just learned how to piss in a pot. [On Livia's plan to have Tiberius marry Julia] Tiberius: Anyway, where does all this get us? There's not only Marcellus, there's Agrippa too. And August prefers both of them to me. Julia: [Screams off stage] No, NO. Tiberius: Ye gods, what's that? Livia: It sounds as though there is now only Agrippa Julia: There are hundreds of them on the road. They're coming in from everywhere, Greece, Spain, Gaul, they just keep coming and coming. Marcellus: They are the blood of Rome, Julia. The people are what makes Rome what she is. Julia: [Laughing] Noisy and uninhabitable. [On Marcellus] Livia: He's very popular, isn't he? Julia: [Proudly] Yes. Livia: And with you? Julia: Why'd you ask? Livia: Well, there are no children yet... Julia: There's no issue between you and father, and you've been married for *twenty* years. Augustus: 复制复制成功复制失败，请手动复制

Livia: What on earth is that? Augustus: A remarkable creature. It has a horn on its nose. Livia: So has Scipio's wife, he should have used her. Herod: Listen Claudius, let me give you a piece of advice. Claudius: Oh, I thought you'd finished giving advice. Herod: Well, just one more piece, then I'm done. Trust no one, my friend, no one. Not your most grateful freedman. Not your most intimate friend. Not your dearest child. Not the wife of your bosom. Trust no one. Claudius: No one? Not even you? Minester: Permit me to introduce myself. My name is Minester, I'm an actor. Most people have heard of me. Scylla: My name is Scylla, and I'm a whore. Everybody's heard of me. Scylla: The difference between you and me, actor, is you're a snob and I'm not. And the difference between this great lady and myself is that my work is her hobby. My hobby happens to be gardening, for which I don't expect to be paid. Tiberius: I will make you my successor, Gaius Caligula. Rome deserves you. Caligula: Is that a joke, uncle? Tiberius: Not yet, but it will be. [to a unruly stadium crowd] Caligula: If you only had one neck, I'd hack it through. Claudius: What do you think it means? Herod: I would think it means that she wishes you to dine with her. I'd take my own wine if I were you. Augustus: Is there anyone in Rome who has not slept with my daughter? [Tiberius is asking questions about Macro] Tiberius: Do you know him personally? Caligula: No, but I've slept with his wife several times. Caligula: Do you think I'm mad? Claudius: Mad? Caligula: Yes, sometimes I think that I'm going mad. Do you - be honest with me - has that thought ever crossed your mind? Claudius: Never. Never. The idea is preposterous. You set the standard of sanity for the whole world. Sejanus: I have no need of a trial to prove your guilt. Gallus: A song sung by every small-town corrupt policeman, which is what you are and what you should have stayed. Drusus: I wouldn't take Britain if I were you. There's nothing of value there and the people make terrible slaves. Senator: You are not fit to be Emperor. Claudius: I agree. But nor was my nephew. Senator: Then what difference is there between you? Claudius: 复制复制成功复制失败，请手动复制

Claudius: But who is this "Messiah?" Marsus: A king, Caesar, who is to come and redeem Israel of all its sins. Philo, their greatest living scholar says that he is to be descended from King David, and born in a village called, em... [his aide whispers in his ear] Marsus: What? [the aide whispers again] Marsus: Bethlehem. [on Jesus Christ] Claudius: So he has followers, then? Marsus: Oh, yes, yes, it's a cult. There are always cults, Caesar. [on his last day before the Senate, Claudius sees the ghosts of his family and predecessors] Augustus: Well done, Claudius, emperor after all. Who would have thought it, eh? Livia: You're a fool, boy, you always were. People might say it's not your fault. Well, if it's not your fault, whose is it then? Antonia: Your nose is still dripping, Claudius, still dripping. Tiberius: Wasn't worth it, was it? I could have told you that. Caligula: Uncle Claudius, I wasn't the Messiah after all, would you believe that? Could have knocked me over with a feather then they told me that. Livia: Don't touch the figs. Claudius: Let all the poisons that lurk in the mud hatch out. [about Augustus being deified] Claudius: I believe it was foretold. Livia: Really. Who foretold it? Claudius: Jove. Livia: Jove, eh? Claudius: A hundred days ago he melted the 'C' off one of Augustus' statues. Livia: And what does that mean, idiot head? Claudius: If you strike the letter 'C' from the word 'Caesar,' the word 'aesar' is left. And in Etruscan 'aesar' means 'God'. Livia: If the gods were going to give us a message, why wouldn't they give it to us in Latin? Livia: You wanted to know the truth and you called it a 'small' condition. Antonia: [to Claudius] You blockhead. Herod: No. He's not a blockhead. It's WE who are the blockheads. If Sejanus had come to us with a proposal like that we would have given him his marching orders. But Claudius knows better. Claudius sways and bends with each little wind that blows. Agrippina: By which you mean he's weak and cowardly. Herod: Perhaps. But at least he's still here. Claudius: Caligula, if you get the chance, you must speak up for them. Caligula: Of course I shall. For mother, anyway. To tell you the truth, I couldn't give a damn about Drusus and Nero.

Caligula: Yes, I know. But then, you don't like Aunt Livilla, and she's your sister. Now, I *love* my sisters, uncle. Claudius: Yes, I know. Livia: No one can talk to you anymore. Augustus: Anyone can talk to me at any time, except you. You don't talk to people. You bully them. Livia: This conversation is becoming ridiculous. Augustus: No, this conversation was ridiculous from the start. [Of Claudius's clumsiness] Tiberius: That grandson of yours could wreck the empire just by strolling through it. [Of the senate] Livia: They won't allow me in because I am a woman, and they won't allow you in because you're a fool. That's strange, when you come to think of it, because it's filled with nothing but old women and fools. Cassius Chaerea: If you are no longer his friend, what can you be but his enemy? Marcus: Go your own way, Cassius. Cassius Chaerea: If we all go our own way, we shall all end by going the same way. [Of Livia] Claudius: We haven't even spoken for seven years. Did you know the last time she spoke to me was when Caligula burned the house down? Even then all she said was, "If you haven't got a bucket, piss on it." Sejanus: Sign it. Gallus: What is it? Sejanus: A confession. Gallus: To what? Sejanus: Your conspiracy with Drusus to subvert the armies of the Rhine. Sign it. Gallus: You wrote it, you sign it. [of killing Sejanus's children] Guard: I can't do it. I can't just kill them, they're underage. Macro: They're on the list. Now get on with it. Guard: The girl is a virgin. It's unprecedented to kill a virgin. It will bring bad luck to the city. Macro: Then make sure she's not a virgin when you kill her. Now GET ON WITH IT. Gaius Sabinus: Will you strike the first blow? Cassius Chaerea: Jove himself couldn't stop me. Augustus: Herod, what about a little bet? I'll take the fat one for twenty gold pieces. Herod: Caesar, it would be against my religion to bet on the life of a man. Augustus: Oh, really? I would have thought it against your religion to bet on anything. Herod: Caesar, it's true: Jews love gambling. But we fear our god more. Augustus: Which one? Herod: We have only one, Caesar. Augustus: I've never understood that, it's quite insufficient. Why don't you take some of our gods? You know, plenty of people do. 复制复制成功复制失败，请手动复制

: Believe me, Caesar, the one we have is hard enough to live with. Postumus: [to Augustus] What have you done to me? What have you done to my life? I would have given my life for you, for Rome. You just had to say the word. What have you done? [to Augustus] Postumus: Oh grandfather, open your eyes. Over the years everyone you knew and loved have either died or disappeared. Do you think it was all an accident? My father Agrippa, and before him Marcellus, my brothers Gaius and Lucius, my mother Julia - NOW *ME*. Augustus: What is going on here? Postumus: [indicating Livia] Ask *her*. She knows. Augustus: I'm asking you. Livia: He'll incriminate all of us before he's finished. [to Postumus] Augustus: Are you mad? [Augustus comes to see Postumus in exile after four years] Postumus: Well, well, well, what do we have here? *Tourists*? Come to see the animal in his cage? Is the island bare enough for you, father? Does it live up to your expectations of "smallness" or have you found another one *even smaller*? Augustus: [Shocked] How thin you look... How pale... Postumus: Well what did you except? A fat *JOLLY* man full of laughs and jokes? Postumus: Well, what do you want? A tour 'round the island? That would take us precisely ten minutes, as you once prophesied it would take me. Augustus: Heavens, wound me if you must. I deserve it. You have knife in your hand; I wouldn't blame you if you used it. [Augustus starts to weep] Postumus: Oh so it's tears now, is it? I've never known a man cry as easily as you do, father. Augustus: Tears come easily to me I don't deny it. Postumus: Well, this is wonderful. You're wonderful. Is it my role now to feel pity for you, to cry for you? Augustus: I MADE A MISTAKE. Postumus: A MISTAKE? "I made a mistake", he says, well you sure seem to make a lot of those, don't you father? Mistakes, is that what you call them? You made mistakes and you think a few tears will put them right... Well, BRAVO. Congratulations, you still have tears to shed. But how many do you think you'd have left if it had been you who sat on this rock day in, day out for four solid years, pouring them into the sea? HOW MANY-? Augustus: OH POSTUMUS. Postumus: My God, you've come to the wrong place, father, to show you've still tears; even the stones weep here. [pause] Postumus: Now you've heard something? Given you pause for thought, made you think perhaps you were a bit to hasty. Is that why you're here? To tell me it was all a mistake? Well DAMN YOU, I don't want to here it. Leave me alone. Go away and die but leave me alone. [Repeated line] 复制复制成功复制失败，请手动复制

: Poison is Queen. [On Marcellus' death] Antonia: It's not fair to accuse Livia of things without any proof. Julia: Why shouldn't I? She accuses *ME* of things without proof. Augustus: You wouldn't believe the liars there are. Livia it seems is the worse of them all. And it's taken me *this* long for me to realise it. [to Antonia] Young Caligula: Evil German woman. I'll burn your German house down. [to Livia] Julia: Take my advice, climb on the funeral pyre with him. Julia: This is your doing, isn't it? Oh Livia, you really think that it'll convince my father to let Tiberius? HA. You are so transparent. I'm the only one who can see you for what you really are... Well remember this, Livia, I have THREE sons and they ALL come before Tiberius. And when they came to age, you won't be wanted anymore. Livia: It's a hard thing to see a child banished, especially when you know the banishment is unjust. [Augustus looks at her] Livia: Yes, you must let my son come home. Can't you see what has been clear to me for so long, that it was Julia's wickedness that drove him away. [Augustus glares at her] Augustus: I'll never bring him back. Never. He drove her to it. She would never have gone down that road if it wasn't for his wickedness. [He stand up and yells to Livia] Augustus: He can stay there and rot. [Regarding Augustus and his family] Tiberius: That family is starting to sound like a Greek tragedy. [of his mother Livia] Tiberius: They say a snake bit her once. And died. [Claudius just drank three cups of wine at Livia's dinner] Caligula: Staking it all on one throw, Uncle Claudius? Livia: Hold your tongue. That was a very polite gesture of confidence in me and was much appreciated. Claudius: What about my father, who was your son? And Germanicus, who was my brother? Did you poison them? Livia: No. Your father dies of his wounds, and Placina poisoned Germanicus with out instructions from me. But I had marked them both down for death. They were both infected with that infantile disorder known as "Republicanism." [about her horoscope] Livia: It's a present from Tiberius, isn't that nice of him? Of course, what he *really* wanted to know is how much longer I'm going to live. Claudius: By dulling the blade of tyranny, I reconciled Rome to the monarchy. Claudius: I killed Britannicus' mother. I've been less than a father to him ever since. 复制复制成功复制失败，请手动复制

: Why are you laughing? Claudius: I've cheated them again. They think I'm dead. The Sybil: But you *are* dead, you fool. You're as dead as anyone can be. The Sybil: They burned your book, you know? All of it. Lucky for you, you made another copy and buried it. Narcissus: Unable to poison Claudius' food, Agripinilla must have poisoned hers. It was in a dish of mushrooms, which she loved and out of which she had been eating. He had finished his own and had called for more, which he often did. Then she offered him hers, out of her own dish. At first, I thought nothing of it; when you're used to seeing someone eat out of a dish it doesn't occur to you that it may contain something different in just one part. And then, she lifted the mushroom onto her fork and held it out for him to take. I knew then there was something different about it. And I knew too, as certainly as I knew *that,* that *he* knew. He *knew* it was poisoned, that his end was near, and he didn't care. He welcomed it. The Sybil: Farewell, Tiberius Claudius Drusus Nero Germanicus, god of the Britons, onetime emperor of the Roman world. Farewell. Claudius: [Cassius Chaerea and three senators are on trial for murdering Caligula] I cannot find it in me to condemn you, Cassius, for murdering my nephew. But you also murdered the lady Caesonia and their child, and you meant to murder me and my wife, none of whom had ever done you any harm. Is this true? Cassius Chaerea: I did it for the Republic, and I'd do it again. Claudius: No, you did it more for injuries to yourself. But even *that* doesn't weigh with me. What weighs with me is what I've heard: that it was agreed among you that only Caligula should die, but that you took it upon yourself to kill us all. Is that true? Cassius Chaerea: Why should I deny it, when your very existence here proves that only your death would have insured the return of the Republic? Claudius: Then you leave me no choice, but to condemn you for the murder of the Lady Caesonia and her child. [to the guards] Claudius: Take him away. Cassius Chaerea: Congratulations Caesar. You've just passed your first sentence of death. How many more before the people grow tired and pass one on you? Isn't that the way we've set for ourselves, Caesar? Think about it, Caesar. Think about it. Claudius: [Looks at the Senators who are also on trial] The investigation into this affair... is closed. [Preparing to make love] Sejanus: You'll have to behave from now on. And if you don't, I'll lock you in a room without any clothes, and visit you every day. Livilla: You'd get tired. Sejanus: Then I'd send my guards to stand in for me. Livilla: How many? Sejanus: Three or four. Livilla: I might not like them. Sejanus: You'd be forced. Livilla: I'd struggle and scream. Sejanus: To no use. 复制复制成功复制失败，请手动复制

Livilla: You'd like that, wouldn't you? Marcus: To tell the truth, lord, nature calls. It must have been something I ate last night. Caligula: Don't look at me. If I decide to doctor your food, you won't have to wait until morning to find out. [laughs uproariously] Claudius: Grandmother, after all these years, you didn't invite me to dinner just to tell me this. Livia: The wine has made you bolder. Claudius: You said you kept in with Caligula because he is to be the next emperor. Livia: Lost your stutter as well. Claudius: But if by then you're dead, what difference can it make? Claudius: Why do you allow Caligula to act like that? Livia: Because it amuses me. And because he will be the next emperor of Rome. [Claudius stares] Livia: You don't believe me? Claudius: If you say so, grandmother. You know I don't concern myself with higher politics. Still, what about Castor? And Caligula has two older brothers. Livia: Castor is ill and Drusillus says he won't recover. He also says Tiberius will choose Caligula to succeed him. Claudius: Why? Livia: Vanity. Tiberius wants to be loved, at least after his death if not before. And the best way to insure that... Claudius: Is to have someone worse to follow him. He's certainly no fool. Livia: He's the biggest fool in my family. I had always thought that that was you... but I think now I was wrong. Claudius: [at the end of a session with irreverent doctor Xenophon] Well, don't you prescribe special prayers to be used when taking medicine? Xenophon: I suggest, Caesar, that as High Pontiff and the author of a book on religion, you are more qualified to prescribe prayers than I am. Claudius: Do you Greeks believe in nothing? Xenophon: I told you what I believe in. Briony. [turns to go, stops, turns back] Xenophon: [salutes casually] Hail Caesar. [Claudius receives a letter with a small box] Claudius: It's from Herod. Calpurnia: What does he say? Claudius: It's written from J-Jerusalem. Calpurnia: Read it to me, his letters are so amusing. Claudius: [reading] "My dear old friend, what is all this I hear about your living in three rooms in the p-poor quarter of town? Is it serious?" [Calpurnia laughs] Claudius: 复制复制成功复制失败，请手动复制

Calpurnia: What is it? It seems very small. Claudius: Well, I don't know. [Claudius opens the box. It is a set of four dice] Calpurnia: Well, I don't think that's very generous. [Claudius shakes the dice and rolls them - twenty-four, all sixes] Calpurnia: Venus. Oh, Claudius, I think your luck is changing. [Claudius rolls them again - all sixes again] Calpurnia: I'm sure it's an omen. [a third time - all sixes yet again] Calpurnia: Those dice are crooked. You can't possibly use them. [Claudius rolls them a fourth time. They both break up laughing] Claudius: Ah, dear Herod. How I miss him. [Antonia is sitting outside Livilla's locked door] Livilla: [screaming and pounding from the inside] MOTHER! LET ME OUT! LET ME OUT! Claudius: How long are you going to sit here? Antonia: Until she dies. Claudius: Dies? Dies? Have you gone mad? She is your daughter. [no answer] Claudius: How can you leave her to die? Antonia: That's her punishment. Claudius: How can you sit out here and listen to her? Antonia: And that's mine. Tiberius: My dear, You look like a Greek tragedy. Agrippina: And you look like a Roman farce. Tiberius: Let me go, you fat drunken cow! Julia: Fat? Fat? If I'm fat, I'm fat where a woman should be fat, not skinny like a boy! Livia: Claudius... I want to be a goddess. Livia: [to Julia] You know, I remember when I first married your father, you were a little girl and Tiberius was a little boy and you used to play together. Do you remember? Julia: [Laughing] Yes, I do. Livia: And once you both grew up you seemed to fond of one another, and I had hoped that you'd both... Julia: [Laughing] Yes, I used to adore him. [pause] Julia: How foolish one is when one is young. Young Herod: Do I have the honor of addressing the Lady Julia, wife of the late Marcus Agrippa? Julia: Oh, yes indeed you do, dear. Young Herod: Madam, I am honored to meet you. I am Herod Agrippa, I was named after you *illustrious* husband. Julia: [Smiling] Well, wasn't that nice of your father?

: Not really my lady, he beheaded my father for being a traitor when I was born. Julia: [Awkwardly] Oh... I'm sorry. Young Herod: [Smiling] Yes, lady. So was my father. [about the Greek Poet] Augustus: I've asked him to prepare a piece to celebrate the seventh anniversary of the battle of Actium. Marcellus: [Sarcastically] Oh no. Augustus: What's the matter? Is it too boring for you? Marcellus: We had one last year. Augustus: That was last year and the speaker was very dull. This man they say is wonderful. Marcellus: [Impersonating the speaker from last year] "Seven year this day did Antony's hopes sink in the harbor of Actium" Augustus: You see how the young mock the battle scares of their elders? Augustus: Look everyone, it's the cake. Julia: [Wittily] Do we get one each? Augustus: [Laughing] Julia, for heaven's sake. [All laugh at her comment] Marcus Agrippa: It's my ship. Augustus: Yes the one you made your headquarters. Marcus Agrippa: She was a fine ship. Marcellus: Ah. [Short pause. Pointing to the cherry on the top] Marcellus: That must be you, Marcus; The candied-cherry in the prow. [to Claudius] Caligula: Go in peace. I was thinking about killing you, but I've changed my mind. [just before killing Caligula] Cassius Chaerea: The watchword, butcher, is liberty. Tiberius: Has it ever occured to you, mother, that it's you they hate and not me? Livia: There is nothing in this world that occurs to you that does not occur to me first. That is the afflication I live with. [Caligula has recovered from his illness] Caligula: I was never really ill. I was undergoing a metamorphosis. Claudius: Oh... was it painful? Caligula: It was like a birth... in which the mother delivers herself. Claudius: Oh. It must have been painful. [to Postumus before banishing him] Augustus: I'll make you suffer. Just like your mother suffers. [regarding Caligula] Caesonia: Claudius, we must help him, the emperor. Claudius: He's your husband, you help him. Caesonia: Claudius, he's sick. He needs good people around him. Claudius: He's killed them all. [Claudius returns to Drusilla and Herod, after visiting Caligula, who has proclaimed himself a god] Claudius: [to Drusilla] He wants to see you. [to Herod] Claudius: He's become a god. [to Drusilla] Claudius: Oh, you're a god, too. [to Herod] Claudius: We're not. [about Augustus] Tiberius: Are you drinking because he nearly died or because he didn't? Livia: Sarcastic aren't we this morning? [on Augustus' will] Livia: He's altered his will [Tiberius gawps] Livia: What's the matter? Cat got your tongue? Ha, that took your breath away, didn't it. Tiberius: How do you know? Livia: I know; I make it my business to know. [Livia has told Tiberius about the will] Tiberius: Whose he changed it in favour of? Livia: Whose d'you think? Tiberius: Germanicus? Livia: HA. Trust you to get it wrong. I must have been nodding when I gave birth to you. Tiberius: I wonder sometimes mother if you ever did anything so natural as giving birth. In whose favour has he altered the will-? Livia: POSTUMUS. Whose d'you think? Livia: Augustus went to Corsica, didn't it occur to you be might stop off to visit your stepson? Tiberius: Well why should he? What does he know that he didn't know before? What could he know? [pause] Tiberius: [Grimly] What is there to know? Livia: He's a senile old man. How am I to know what causes him to change his mind? But he has and so much the worse for you, my baby, if I can't change it back. Tiberius: Don't bother on my account. I'm sick of it. Gods know I've done my best; he's never liked me, never. Thirty years I've run his errands for him; I've fought on his bloody frontiers, collected his taxes- Never once has he put his hand on my shoulder and said "Thank you, what would I have done without you?" He sends me off again and doesn't even give me a goodbye, just "Get on your horse and ride." Well, damn him. I retired before once and I can do it again; let his precious grandson run his empire for him. I'm sick to death of it. [Long pause] Livia: So, when do you leave? [of Livia] Germanicus: Between reading so many letters and arranging so many rapes, when does she ever sleep? Drusus: [SPOILER] [his dying words] Drusus: Rome has a severe mother, and Gaius and Lucius a cruel stepmother. 复制复制成功复制失败，请手动复制

: Grandmother... who killed Marcellus? [Long pause] Livia: I did. The empire needed Agrippa more then it needed Marcellus, and then I had Agrippa poisoned so Tiberius could marrry Julia because I that the man who was married to her would be the next emperor, my son messed that up, of course... Claudius: And what about Julia's sons by Agrippa, how did they die? Livia: Gaius I had poisoned while he was in Gaul. Claudius: You have a long reach! Livia: The empire is large, I need one. Then Lucius was murdered in a boating accident arranged by his Platus. Claudius: And... Postumus? [pause] Livia: You were really fond of him weren't you? Claudius: [sadly] Yes, grandmother. Livia: He was useless. I had to get rid of Postumus; he was a theat to Tiberius. Besides, he knew I had his mother Julia banished. Young Claudius: What's the matter? Young Postumus: Nothing. Young Herod: Cheer up, young Agrippa. Caesar had adopted you into his family and made you his heir! That is an honour! Young Postumus: Yes, Herod - but he had also adopted my stepfather and we all know that both of us cannot succeed him. I'm frightened! I want my mother, I want my mother! Where is she? Where is she? [Following Julia's exile] Young Postumus: I'm frightened! I want my mother, I want my mother! Where is she? Where is she? [to Pallas on Messalina] Narcissus: Scandalous! It's scandalous! While all of Rome trooped in and out of her bed, we said nothing. We closed our eyes and our ears and said nothing. But this is different. This is *utterly* and *unbearably* different! This... this puts the emperor's life in danger. And if it puts his life in danger, it puts ours. And I say that's a very different bowl of fish! Livia: [as Claudius is leaving] Wait. Here. [gives him a scroll] Livia: That is a collection of Sibylline verses rejected from the official book. Claudius: Why are you giving it to me? Livia: Because it predicts that you will, one day, be Emperor. [Claudius stares at her for a moment, then guffaws hysterically] [When Sejanus falls, his sister, Claudius's once-arrogant wife, begs him for protection] Aelia: [hysterical] They've even murdered his children! Claudius: [horrified] His children? Aelia: Yes! They raped the little girl before they killed her! And they dressed the boy up in his manly clothes! [sounds outside the house draw her in panic to the window, as Claudius bursts into tears] Claudius: Rome, you are finished! Finished! [sobbing] Claudius: You are despicable... 复制复制成功复制失败，请手动复制
