Clerk:
These being the words of Marcus Tullius Cicero: When I was a young man, I defended the State. As an old man, I shall not abandon it. I give sincere thanks to Mark Antony, who has generously presented me with the most promising theme imaginable. I address you directly, Antony. Please listen as if you... as if you... [sees something offensive in the scroll]
Mark Antony:
Go on...
Clerk:
...please listen, as if you were sober and intelligent, and not a drink-sodden, sex-addled wreck. [the Senators stand and begin to leave]
Clerk:
You are certainly not without accomplishments: it is a rare man who can boast of becoming a bankrupt before even coming of age. You have brought upon us war, pestilence and destruction. You are Rome's Helen of Troy. But then... but then...
Mark Antony:
[fuming] Go on... GO ON!
Clerk:
...a woman's role has always suited you best. [Antony screams in anger and beats the clerk to death with the scroll and looks that the Senate Hall is empty]
