Drusus
A man should keep himself clean, not have slaves do it.
Tiberius
And how's he supposed to scrape his own back?
Drusus
He gets his brother to do it.
Tiberius
If he hasn't got a brother?
Drusus
He gets his son.
Tiberius
If he hasn't got a son?
Drusus
Gets his friend.
Tiberius
And if he hasn't got a friend?
Drusus
Then he should go and hang himself.
Tiberius
I've tried it. Better to have a slave scrape your back.
