Imperium: Augustus2003

Tiberius:
Mother, no! I'm your son, *not* Augustus', as Julia is his daughter, *not* yours.

Livia:
Exactly, which is why you must marry Julia!

Tiberius:
I don't love her, and she doesn't love me either.

Livia:
Love has nothing to do with it.

Tiberius:
I love my wife. I always have.

Livia:
Yes, Tiberius. You told me that when you married the stupid little thing, but she is of no use to us. You will divorce her, and marry Julia. Do that, and you'll be emperor.

Tiberius:
I don't want to be emperor! [pause] Besides, there are Gaius and Lucius, Julia and Agrippa's boys. They come before me.

Livia:
They're weak children... [pause] They may die.

Tiberius:
Mother, you wouldn't...

Livia:
Wouldn't what? [Long pause] I was just saying they've always had colds and fevers. They *may* die.
