[Antonia is sitting outside Livilla's locked door]
Livilla
[screaming and pounding from the inside] Mother! Let me out! Let me out!
Claudius
For Heaven's sake, let her out! How long are you going to leave her in here?
Antonia
Until she dies.
Claudius
Dies? Dies?! Have you gone mad?! She's your daughter! How can you leave her to die?!
Antonia
That's her punishment.
Claudius
How can you bear to sit out here and listen to her?!
Antonia
And that's mine. Leave me, Claudius. I shall not move from here until they open the door and find her dead. Leave me.
Claudius
No... No...! [leaves, sobbing]
