[Atia moves to the head of the women's procession for Augustus' triumph]
LLivia
Excuse me?
Yes?
LLivia
Oh, I don't mind really, but it is really I who should go first. If you consult the priests, I'll think you'll find the wife takes precedence.
I don't give a fuck what the priests say. I'll not let a vicious little trollop like you walk ahead of me. I go first.
LLivia
I take no offense, of course. You are not yourself.
I know who you are. I can see you. You're swearing now that, someday, you'll destroy me. Remember that far better women than you have sworn to do the same. Go look for them now.
