Spartacus

& Marcellus: You’re not as stupid as I thought. You might even be intelligent. That’s dangerous for slaves.

& Marcellus: You just remember, from now on everything you do I’ll be watching.

& Spartacus: I’m not an animal!

& Gracchus: This republic of ours is something like a rich widow. Most Romans love her as their mother but Crassus dreams of marrying the old girl to put it politely.

& Gracchus: Let’s make an old-fashioned sacrifice for Glabrus’ success?
    Julius Caesar: I thought you had reservations about the gods.
    Gracchus: Privately I believe in none of them — neither do you. Publicly, I believe in them all.

& Marcus Licinius Crassus: Great merciful bloodstained gods! Your pardon. I always address heaven in moments of triumph.

& Marcus Licinius Crassus: One of the disadvantages of being a Patrician is that occasionally you are obliged to act like one. You’ve pledged to go, and go you must.

& Spartacus: Do you realize nobody can ever sell you again?.. Nobody can sell you. Or give you away. Nobody can ever make you stay with anyone. Nobody can make you stay with anybody.

& Marcus Licinius Crassus: There, boy, is Rome. The might, the majesty, the terror of Rome. There is the power that bestrides the known world like a colossus. No man can withstand Rome. No nation can withstand her.


& Marcus Licinius Crassus: There’s only one way to deal with Rome, Antoninus. You must serve her. You must abase yourself before her. You must grovel at her feet. You must love her.

& Spartacus: Who wants to fight? An animal can learn to fight. But to sing beautiful things and make people believe them...

& Spartacus: I want to... I want to know.
    Varinia: Know what?
    Spartacus: Everything. Why a star falls and a bird doesn’t... Where the sun goes at night... Why the moon changes shape... I want to know where the wind comes from...

& Spartacus: I want to know all about you. Every line, every curve. I want to know every part of you. Every beat of your heart.

& Tigranes Levantus: If you looked into a magic crystal, you saw your army destroyed and yourself dead. If you saw that in the future, as I’m sure you’re seeing it now, would you continue to fight?
    Spartacus: Yes.
    Tigranes Levantus: Knowing that you must lose?
    Spartacus: Knowing we can. All men lose when they die and all men die. But a slave and a free man lose different things.
    Tigranes Levantus: They both lose life.
    Spartacus: When a free man dies, he loses the pleasure of life. A slave loses his pain. Death is the only freedom a slave knows. That’s why he’s not afraid of it. That’s why we’ll win.

& Spartacus: You’re all wrong! The best wine comes from home, wherever it is.

& Marcus Licinius Crassus: Rome is an eternal thought in the mind of God.
    Julius Caesar: I had no idea you’d grown religious.
    Marcus Licinius Crassus: That doesn’t matter. If there were no gods at all, I’d revere them. If there were no Rome, I’d dream of her as I want you to do.

& Marcus Licinius Crassus: Have you thought how costly my services might be?
    Gracchus: We buy everything else these days. No reason why we shouldn’t be charged for patriotism. What’s your fee?

& Julius Caesar: So now we... deal with pirates. We bargain with criminals.
    Gracchus: Don’t be so stiff-necked. Politics is a practical profession. If a criminal has what you want, you do business with him.

& Marcus Licinius Crassus: This campaign is not alone to kill Spartacus. It is to kill the legend of Spartacus.

Σ Phew. If they only had a consultant on Ancient Rome. At least one. Even not the best... Neither historical, nor biopic.
