From A Funny Thing Happened On the Way to the Forum:
Soldier: We have caught your runaway slave but he refuses our right to execute him!
Pseudolus: I'm a family slave , what's the point of belonging to a family if you allow someone else to execute you...
Mistress of the house: Quite Right , we shall torture him!
Pseudolus: See how they look after their own...

Senex: Disgraceful, all that revolting flesh. Just next door...
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Domina: That breeder woman, has she been thrown a mate yet?

Senex: Choose? She'll breed and like it, like everyone. Well, almost everyone.

Hysterium: I live to grovel.

Pseudolus: Certainly you've heard of the plague in Crete
Lycus: Is it contagious?
Pseudolus: Have you ever seen a plague that wasn't?
Lycus; This girl is healthy she goes around smiling all day long
Pseudolus: Don't you know? When they start to smile, the end is near. I hear it's lovely on Crete. Everyone lying there... smiling.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Miles Gloriosus: Arrange food, drink, entertainment, and a sit-down orgy for forteen.

Miles Gloriosus: Oh, her bridal bower becomes a burial bier of bitter bereavement!
Pseudolus: Very good! Can you say "Titus the tailor told ten tall tales to Titania the titmouse"?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Miles Gloriosus: What is she like?
Pseudolus: A face so fair, a heart so pure - Sir, if you had been born a woman, you would have been she!
Miles Gloriosus: As magnificent as that?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Miles Gloriosus: You, slave, will be torn apart by horses, to the plaudits of the troops and the amusement of the children.

Pseudolus: We'll need a body. Anybody's body.
Hysterium: Can you get one from Gusto the Body Snatcher?
Pseudolus: He owes me a favor! But he died yesterday.

Lycus to slave: If I've told you once, I've told you a hundred times; do not fan the girls when they're wet! But you'll never learn, you'll be a eunuch all your life.
