Spartacus: Blood and Sand Season 1 quotes

What is this madness?

Madness? No. It's only reason, born of a clear mind and wounded heart.

Wounded? I have done you no injury.

The man's crimes escape his lofty notice.

Release me!

Oh, I intend to. From this fucking world!

Whatever your disagreement, let us discuss it as civilized men.

No, you mistake me. I am but a base animal. A beast to be ridden and disregarded.

Batiatus!--

You accept my hospitality. Enter my home. Break bread, drink my wine, only to spit in my face! "Leave politics to the men who have the breeding for it"!

Offense was not my intent. I sought only to spare you further humiliation!

Spare me?! You don't have power to spare shit, you pathetic cunt! [kicks Calavius onto the floor and pins his neck underfoot] Now speak the words! Tell me my heritage! Tell me my family name bears no weight among you and your noble cockeaters! Huh?! Speak!

You wish words from me? May you listen to them well. You are a jest! A man tolerated, because of his ownership of Spartacus, the savior of Capua. When he falls, you will quickly follow.

Tied to a fucking chair in the filth and mire, and yet the man provokes!

You still do not see it, do you, good Batiatus? You are beneath me. And you always will be, in this life or the next. Do what you must to balm your wounded pride. I will not beg.

Crixus

They have forgotten the honor I have brought them.

Doctore

Then it is time that you reminded them who their true champion is.

That shit-fuck! Beckons me to the city, only to spurn me like a thin wasted whore. Once again the gods spread the cheeks to ram cock in fucking ass!

Glaber

We return to Rome, absent unworthy entanglements.

Do not turn from me!

Glaber

You forget your place, Lanista!

No. I secure it. Clear the fucking room! Tell Ashur to bring our gift for the Legatus!

Glaber

Forget your gifts. I would part as from a troubling dream, untethered by the memory of it.

Oh, you will remember this day. Until you lay to slumber, never to awaken.

I expect your meetings with Crixus to end.

[shocked] Quintus -

Do not fucking speak. That you would think me a fool is insult enough. I have always known. And turned eye away only because it made you happy, and caused me no thought. Those days have ended. Set your attentions towards our child. And do not see them stray.

Crixus

I have destroyed us!

We yet live!

Crixus

Where do they take you?

I do not know.

Crixus

I will win my freedom. I will not rest until I find you!

What do you speak of?

Spartacus

I speak of nothing.

Nothing sounds much like escape.

And how would "nothing" find way past Batiatus and all his fucking Romans?

Spartacus

There is but one path: we kill them all.

Spartacus

You move well. As if lash had never struck.

Crixus

Pain is erased when inflicted upon others.

Spartacus

I would have you at your best when we face each other.

Crixus

Is that all you'd have for me? Rhaskos speaks of your desires. What fever grips brain, that Spartacus would think me to band with him? To risk the lives of my men, my life?

Spartacus

Is there one, without the woman you love within it?

Crixus

I've never had a stronger reason to live.

Spartacus

I know your heart Crixus. I felt the beating of it within my chest once.

Crixus

Then you know I'll fucking survive, and see Naevia returned to me.

Spartacus

As my wife was returned. Batiatus ordered her death.

Crixus

How did you come upon this?

Spartacus

The tongue of his man Aulus before silencing it forever. I will see the house of Batiatus fall, and with it the villain's blood upon the earth.

Crixus

As would I in your position, but I am far removed. My escape would not aid Naevia. How would I purchase her freedom? Or even find her while being hunted like a dog by the Romans.

Spartacus

Join me, and we will find her together.

Crixus

You know that in another life, you and I may have been as brothers. But not in this one. I must win my freedom in the arena.

Spartacus

Then we stand in the way of each other's cause.

Crixus

And both are just, but if I fall I'd have you swear to find Naevia, see her freed.

Spartacus

And I would have word that if you are victorious, one day you will have Batiatus' life.

Spartacus

Tomorrow then, one of us dies.

Crixus

I fear it was always fated so.

Crixus! What is this madness?!

Crixus

Spartacus shows us the way!

He is a dog without honor!

Crixus

This house is without honor! Batiatus ordered his wife dead! And Domina? She has tainted me, because I spur her fucking heart!

I have given my life to this Ludus!

Crixus

No, they stole it from you. From all of us. You asked me to put faith in you. I ask the same. Honor us all, and see an end of this fucking house.

Ashur

You think this will cause difference? Even if life fades, my hand shall yet be felt. It plotted the death of Barca. Saw the Magistrate's end. It even helped force Glaber to patronage. Every beam, every stone in this fucking house bears the mark of Ashur!

It bears only your treachery.

Ashur

My fucking treachery? When did you stand forth for Ashur? When did any of you greet me short of mockery and scorn, fucking cunts!

You received what you deserved! For Barca and all the others that you have betrayed, your time is done.

Ashur

Would that this were the arena.

Your blood would dishonor the sand.

Ashur

Send me on my way, then. As you would a gladiator.

Spartacus

I have done this thing because it is just. Blood demands blood. We have lived and lost at the whims of our masters for too long. I would not have it so. I would not see the passing of a brother, for the purpose of sport. I would not see another heart ripped from a chest, or breath forfeit for no cause. I know not all of you wish this, yet it is done. It is done. Your lives are your own. Forge your own path, or join with us, and together we shall see Rome tremble.
