Octavia quotes from Rome

Atia

The man has tears in his eyes. Tears!

Octavia

He loves me.

Atia

A womanish husband is no use to anyone. And your servants! What a fuss! I think you feed them too much.

Atia

Octavia

Perhaps you could arrange he kill someone.

Atia

That will happen in due course. We Julii always have the needful enemies.

Octavia

Today is your triumph as much as his. Mother to the First Citizen, you should be happy.

Atia

[softly] Hooray.

Octavia

All my life, I've watched you strive for this moment. Look at you... it's amusing, isn't it? I don't know what i shall do if you give up.
