About Me:
MARCUS: Are you ready to do your duty for Rome?
COMMODUS: Yes, father.
MARCUS: You will not be Emperor.
COMMODUS: Which wiser, older man is to take my place?
MARCUS: My powers will pass to Maximus to hold in trust until the Senate is ready to rule once more.
MARCUS: My decision disappoints you?
COMMODUS: You wrote to me once, listing the four chief virtues -- wisdom, justice, fortitude, and temperance. As I read the list I knew I had none of them. But I have other virtues, Father -- ambition, that can be a virtue when it drives us to excel; resourcefulness; courage, perhaps not on the battle field but there are many forms of courage; devotion, to my family, to you. But none of my virtues were on your list. Even then it was as if you didn't want me for your son.
COMMODUS: I searched the faces of the gods for ways to please you, to make you proud.... One kind word, one full hug where you pressed me to your chest and held me tight, would have been like the sun on my heart for a thousand years.... What is it in me you hate so much? All I ever wanted was to live up to you, Caesar, Father.
MARCUS: Commodus, your faults as a son, is my failure as a father.
COMMODUS: I would have butchered the whole world if you would have only loved me!!!
COMMODUS: Why is he still alive?
LUCILLA: I don't know..
COMMODUS: He shouldn't be alive. It vexes me. I'm terribly vexed.
They lied to me in Germania. They told me he was dead. If they lie to me they don't respect me. If they don't respect me then how can they ever love me?
COMMODUS: They embrace him like he's one of their own.
LUCILLA: The mob is fickle brother. He'll be forgotten in a month.
COMMODUS: No, much sooner than that. It's been arranged.
COMMODUS: What am I going to do with you, you simply won't...die. Are we so different, you and I? You take life when you have to, as I do
MAXIMUS: I have only one more life left to take, then it is done.
COMMODUS: And now they love Maximus for his mercy! So I can't just kill him or it makes him even more merciful! The whole thing is like a great...nightmare!!!
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
COMMODUS: Do you remember what our father said once? It's a dream, a frightful dream...life is. Do you think that's true?
LUCILLA: I don't know
COMMODUS: I think it is... And I have only you to share it with...
COMMODUS: You know I love you...
LUCILLA: And I love you.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
COMMODUS: Tomorrow night I shall tell you the story of Emperor Claudius. He was betrayed, by those closest to him... by his own blood ... they whispered in dark corners and went out late at night and conspired and conspired... But the Emperor Claudius knew they were up to something. He knew they were busy little bees. And one night he sat down with one of them.. and he looked at her... and he said, "Tell me what you have been doing, busy little bee, or I shall strike down those dearest to you. You shall watch as I bathe in their blood." And the emperor was heartbroken. The little bee had wounded him more deeply than anyone could ever have done. And what do you think happened then, Lucius?
LUCIUS: I don't know Uncle.
COMMODUS: The little bee told him everything.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Senator Falco: It's done
COMMODUS: And what of my nephew and what of his mother? Shall they share her lover's fate or should I be merciful? Commodus the merciful.
COMMODUS to LUCILLA: As for you, you will love me as I have loved you... You will provide me with an heir of pure blood so that Commodus and his progeny will reign for 1,000 years.
Am I not merciful?
+AM I NOT MERCIFUL?!!!+
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
COMMODUS: Maximus. Maximus. Maximus. They call for you. The general who became a slave. The slave who became a gladiator. The gladiator who defied an emperor. A striking story. Now the people want to know how the story ends. Only a famous death will do. What could be more glorious than to challenge the emperor himself in the great arena.
MAXIMUS: You would fight me?
COMMODUS: Why not? Do you think I'm afraid?
MAXIMUS: I think you have been afraid all your life.
COMMODUS: Unlike Maximus the invincible, who knows no fear?
MAXIMUS: I knew a man who once said, death smiles at us all. All a man can do is smile back.
COMMODUS: I wonder. Did your friend smile at his own death?
MAXIMUS: You must know. He was your father.
COMMODUS: You loved my father, I know. But so did I. That makes us brothers, doesn't it? Smile for me now brother.

Surely I am not the only one who believes this has to be some kind of unamusing joke...
