Favorite Roman Lines in Movies

I'm Spartacus!!!

No...

[john m roberts]

My favourite Caesar quote:

"...then we wait until dawn."

"What happens at dawn, Caesar?"

"You don't know? The sun comes up."

I *think* it's from 'Caesar and Cleopatra', but I'm not sure.

Carlton, that's from the Liz and Dick "Cleopatra.

From Spartacus:

"I would rather have a little senatorial corruption rather than a dictatorship..."

[Gaius Germanicus]

From "Life of Brian" some great quotes I found on a web site...





Wise Man #1: Ahem!

Brian's mother: Oh!

[falls over in chair]

Brian's mother: Who are you?

Wise Man #2: We are three wise men.

Brian's mother: What?

Wise Man #1: We are three wise men.

Brian's mother: Well, what are you doing creeping around a cow shed at two o'clock in the morning? That doesn't sound very wise to me.



Brian: I am NOT the Messiah!

Arthur: I say you are Lord, and I should know. I've followed a few.




Brian: Have I got a big nose, Mum?

Brian's mother: Stop thinking about sex!

Brian: I wasn't!

Brian's mother: You're always on about it. "Will the girls like this? Will the girls like that? Is it too big? Is it too small? "





Reg: All right, but apart from the sanitation, medicine, education, wine, public order, irrigation, roads, the fresh water system and public health, what have the Romans ever done for us?

Attendee: Brought peace?

Reg: Oh, peace - shut up!

Reg: There is not one of us who would not gladly suffer death to rid this country of the Romans once and for all.

Dissenter: Uh, well, one.

Reg: Oh, yeah, yeah, there's one. But otherwise, we're solid.




Brian's mother: What star sign is he?

Wise Man #2: Capricorn.

Brian's mother: Capricorn, eh? What are they like?

Wise Man #2: He is the son of God, our Messiah.

Wise Man #1: King of the Jews.

Brian's mother: And that's Capricorn, is it?

Wise Man #3: No, no, that's just him.

Brian's mother: Oh, I was going to say, otherwise there'd be a lot of them.






Pontius Pilate: So, yaw fatha was a Woman? Who was he?

Brian: He was a Centurion, in the Jerusalem Garrisons.

Pontius Pilate: Weally? What was his name?

Brian: 'Naughtius Maximus'.

[the Centurion laughs]

Pontius Pilate: Centuwion, do we have anyone of that name in the gawwison?

Centurion: Well, no, sir.

Pontius Pilate: Well, you sound vewy sure. Have you checked?

Centurion: Well, no, sir. Umm, I think it's a joke, sir... like, uh, 'Sillius Soddus' or... 'Biggus Dickus', sir.

Pontius Pilate: [guard chuckles] What's so funny about "Biggus Dickus? "
Centurion: Well, it's a joke name, sir.

Pontius Pilate: I have a vewy gweat fwiend in Wome called 'Biggus Dickus'.

[guard chuckles]

Pontius Pilate: Silence! What is all this insolence? You will find yourself in gladiator school vewy quickly with wotten behaviour like that.

Brian: Can I go now, sir?

[slap]

Brian: Aaah! Eh.

Pontius Pilate: Wait till Biggus Dickus hears of this!

[guard chuckles]

Pontius Pilate: Wight! Take him away!

Centurion: Oh, sir, he - he only ...

Pontius Pilate: No, no. I want him fighting wabid, wild animals within a week.

Centurion: Yes, sir. Come on, you.

[takes the guard away as continues laughing histerically]

Pontius Pilate: I will not have my fwiends widiculed by the common soldiewy. - - Anybody else feel like a little... giggle... when I mention my fwiend... Biggus...

[another guard chuckles]

Pontius Pilate: ... Dickus?

[more chuckling]

Pontius Pilate: What about you? Do you find it... wisible... when I say the name... 'Biggus'...

[chuckle]

Pontius Pilate: ... Dickus?

[both guards chuckle]

Pontius Pilate: He has a wife, you know. You know what she's called?

She's called... 'Incontinentia'... Incontinentia Buttocks

Pontius Pilate: [Guards are laughing] Stop! What is all this?

Pontius Pilate: [Laughing continues] I've had enough of this wowdy webel sniggewing behaviour. Silence! Call yourselves Pwaetowian guards?
You're not - Seize him! Seize him! Blow your noses and seize him!

[Matt Lukes]

Ah, old Biggus Dickus- always good for a laugh :lol:

[Theodosius the Great]

Julius Caesar (Rex Harrison)

"Else, take from me this meaningless title of 'Dictator.' I would rather have nothing, remain what I am at heart : a humble man, anxious only to serve."

Might have been taken but still. "I have a vewy gwait fwiend in Wome called Biggus Dickus!" That whole scene is hilarious! Incontinentia Buttocks indeed!

Peter Ustinov had some good ones in Spartacus:

(to Nina Foch) Your Pulchritude has an excellent eye.

(to a slave) Fan His Magnificence. He sweats.

[john m roberts]

From A Funny Thing Happened On the Way to the Forum:

slave girl: (Miles Gloriosus) raped my country, Thrace!

Pseudolus: He did?

girl: Then he did it again and again!

Pseudolus: He raped Thrace thrice?

Spartacus:

"Publically I believe in all the gods, privately, I believe in none of them."
