Marc Antony
Your tongue is old, but sharp, Cicero. Be careful how you waggle it. One day it will cut off your head.
A Lighthearted Exchange on Physical Features
Cleopatra
You have such bony knees.
[kicking a cushion off her dais for Caesar to kneel on during her coronation]
Caesar
Not only bony, but unaccustomed to this sort of thing.
Approval and Dissent in Political Alliances
Cleopatra
Catullus doesn't approve of you... why haven't you had him killed?
Caesar
Because I approve of him.
Intellectual Discourse Among Historical Figures
Agrippa
Well versed in the natural sciences and mathematics. She speaks seven languages proficiently. Were she not a woman one would consider her to be an intellectual. Nothing bores me so much as an intellectual!
Julius Caesar
Makes a better admiral of you, Agrippa.
