:11:00
I must be the law! And my word
must be the welfare of Rome.
:11:05
Else, take from me
this meaningless title of dictator.
:11:10
I've carried a sword for too long.
:11:13
I cannot now pretend
with an empty scabbard.
:11:18
Surely Caesar recalls the symbolic
nature of the title "dictator"...
:11:21
...at the time it was conferred.
:11:23
It was to honor Caesar
above all men...
:11:26
...and to indicate Rome's gratitude
for your triumphs in its name.
:11:30
Brutus, I recall them well,
those triumphs.
:11:35
Do you?
:11:36
Pharsalia, for one.
You trembled in Antony's hand...
:11:39
...when he was hot
to separate you from your head...
:11:42
...with just cause.
:11:45
My command spared your life.
:11:47
There was no deliberating body.
It was not my wish, but my command.
:11:50
By my dictate that you stand here
dribbling virtue out of your mouth.
:11:55
Sit down.
:11:57
No, I want no more meaningless
privileges and considerations.
:12:01
No more honors designed to pacify me.
:12:04
I would rather have nothing.
Remain what I am at heart.
:12:08
A humble man, anxious only to serve.
:12:13
Why are the eyes of a statue
always without life?
:12:18
Have any of you here seen the Nile?
:12:21
Spare yourselves the journey.
:12:23
She carries it within her eyes.
:12:27
I suggest, Caesar,
that the hour is late.
:12:29
Very late for Rome.
:12:31
I was speaking, Cassius! I was...
:12:37
Now, where was I?
:12:38
"Anxious to serve."
:12:42
Yes, I've served.
Served for all of my life.
:12:46
I've won for Rome
more than half of the world.
:12:49
Most of you owe your honors
and fortunes to me.
:12:52
And now I want you to do as I say.
:12:56
You will appoint me...
:12:59
...emperor of Rome.
