1:09:03
Your happiness
is understandable enough.

1:09:06
Now that Caesar has
publicly recognized a son...

1:09:09
...one need no longer
wonder about Brutus.

1:09:12
Is it a relief not to be
wondered about, Casca?

1:09:14
To be known openly
as you are for what you are:

1:09:17
Liar, swindler, bully and coward.
1:09:20
Brutus, you'll turn Casca's head
with your flattery.

1:09:23
And Casca's head, if turned,
will see Marc Antony.

1:09:27
A part of Caesar more to be feared
than his infant son.

1:09:32
But it is for the good of Rome that
Caesar has stayed so long in Egypt.

1:09:36
In his absence, the people
have come to worship him as a god.

1:09:39
Why should he return to show himself
as mortal as the rest?

1:09:43
There are those
who fear Caesar's ambition.

1:09:46
But what is to fear?
That he will destroy the republic?

1:09:49
Yes, he will.
1:09:52
I promise you he will.
1:09:54
Your tongue is old but sharp, Cicero.
1:09:56
Be careful how you waggle it.
It may cut off your head.

1:10:00
It will more likely
be your sword, Antony.

1:10:02
'Tis just as sharp and quicker...
1:10:05
...and frightened of heads.
1:10:09
There'll be a strong smell
of wine in the Senate today.

1:10:12
We must breathe with restraint.
1:10:20
Octavian, this what's his name,
this son of Caesar...

1:10:24
...does it upset you?
1:10:26
No.
1:10:27
You run off at the mouth so...
1:10:29
...one thinks your words
are as precious as your gold.

1:10:32
Like my gold, I use them
where they are worth most.

1:10:37
And your virtue?
My friend has a friend.

1:10:41
That too.
1:10:43
You know, it's quite possible
that when you die...

1:10:47
...you will die without
ever having been alive.
