Rome, Season One

King Ptolemy XIII:
[presenting the head of Pompey Magnus] We were going to make him a body, with moving arms and legs, and do a mime show with real animals and everything, and...

Gaius Julius Caesar:
[furious] SILENCE!

[long, heavy silence]

Gaius Julius Caesar:
Shame on the House of Ptolemy for such barbarity. Shame.

Pothinus:
But... you are enemies.

Gaius Julius Caesar:
(shouts) He was a consul of Rome!

[guards put hands to their swords]

Gaius Julius Caesar:
A consul of Rome, to die in this sordid way - quartered like some low thief? Shame!

[another long, heavy silence]

Gaius Julius Caesar:
Where is the rest of him?

Pothinus (stammering) It... he, has been cremated. With all proper funeral rites, of course! With all decorum.

Gaius Julius Caesar I will return tomorrow, at which time you will give me the man that took Pompey's life.
