[Regarding Mark Antony's affair with Atia and Octavia's affair with Agrippa]
So what? What if it is true, huh? What are you going to do about it? There is nothing you can do about it.
I shall send my women to their house... [Antony scoffs] ...where they shall remain, in seclusion, under guard until I say otherwise.
I'll do no such thing--!
Silence. [to Antony] You. You shall leave this city.
"Leave this city"?!
You shall go east to your provinces, and you shall not come back.
[scoffs] Or else what, boy?
You shall leave this city or I shall declare that our alliance is broken. I shall have this sad story told in the Forum, I shall have it posted in every city in Italy, and you know the people are not so liberal with their wives as you are. They will say you wear cuckold's horns. They will say your wife betrayed you with a low-born pleb on my staff. You will be a figure of fun. The proles will laugh at you in the street. Your soldiers will mock you behind your back.
[By this point trembling with fury, Antony grabs Octavian's throat to throttle him but hesitates. Octavian does not flinch.]
[whispers] Go on, strike me. See what happens.
[Slowly, Antony releases his grip, and departs.]
