Spartacus: Gods of the Arena

Episode 1

& Solonius: Is your man ever of a serious note?
    Batiatus: He’d strip naked and fight with his cock, as long as he wins.

& Gannicus: I could have killed the man absent an arm and both fucking legs!
    Doctore: Hubris... A fine quality. Often possessed by cunts who perish from it.

& Solonius: We must prove ourselves in the more important bouts in the old arena and secure position.
    Batiatus: To fight later in the day we must first distinguish ourselves against Vettius’ men.
    Solonius: Yet Vettius’ men only fight later in the day. A vexing conundrum.

& Solonius: You pay too much for the man.
    Batiatus: The man is nothing. I pay to gain favor with Tullius.

& Batiatus: Even the lowest man can rise beyond the heavens, if tempted with the proper reward...

& Oenomaus: Lesson one: never drop your fucking guard.

& Solonius: You press beyond advantage.
    Batiatus: No. I fucking press towards it.

& Batiatus: Your wife’s weekly visit. Two nights hence?
    Oenomaus: Yes, Dominus.
    Batiatus: I would see her to your bed tonight as well. In gratitude for honest thoughts.
    Oenomaus: Dominus.

& Doctore: A brawl in the streets... Where is the honor in such a thing?
    Batiatus: Fuck honor. This is business.

& Batiatus: Gannicus is not for sale.
    Tullius: Everything is for sale, Batiatus. The question is but price.
