S1Separate Paths

TTiberius

I have had my fill of you questioning every word that falls from my tongue!

CCaesar

Then break them with more fucking sense! We cannot turn from Rome!

TTiberius

We shall turn in whatever direction my father decides.

CCaesar

Then aid him in proper choice, not one you believe he seeks to hear.

TTiberius

I follow my own desires.

CCaesar

As you did when you forced yourself upon Kore? [Tiberius is speechless.] The night your father reclaimed Sinuessa? I warned you your deed would fall to discovery.

TTiberius

You'd fabricate lies now? To see me-?

CCaesar

The game is over, boy! The whore Kathara tells of how you came from Kore's tent, of finding her roughly used. She was made to promise never to reveal what her eyes laid upon, but I can be very, very persuasive.

TTiberius

You'd risk all on the tale of a woman who swallows cock for coin? [Caesar laughs.]

CCaesar

I have made more uncertain wages in years past - and yet here I stand.

TTiberius

Then why have you not yet told him?!

CCaesar

He has been pushed to brink of madness by imagined betrayal. I would not see him forced over precipice by truth of harsher realities!

TTiberius

What would you have of me?

CCaesar

What you have already been asked - you have your father's ear. Bring him to reason, breaking words as I command - [Caesar is interrupted when Tiberius smashes in his face with a jug of wine.]

TTiberius

I DO NOT TAKE COMMAND FROM YOU! [Caesar chokes Tiberius.]

CCaesar

You should have accepted offer, boy - your father nearly saw you to end in decimation, perhaps he shall see fate to completion when he hears what you have done! [Tiberius's men enter and attack Caesar.]

TTiberius

Seize him! [The men hold Caesar down on the table.] You shall never lay hands upon me again! Nor whisper lies against me!

CCaesar

You cannot take my life - and see my body from encampment - absent notice! I am Julius fucking Caesar!

TTiberius

[to men] Hold him against table. [to Caesar] You are of same cloth as Metellus, and must be taught severest lesson in who towers above you! [proceeds to rape him.] Speak of what you know to anyone, and I shall spin tale of mighty Caesar taken like a woman.

S1The Dead and the Dying

Gannicus stands the only one among us to win his freedom upon the sands.

LLaeta

If free, why does he raise arms with the slaves against the republic?

He took up cause to honor a fallen brother - one that taught many of us the ways of battle, and the bond that joins all men and such with it.

NNaevia

You claim the sword as your own? The way it fits hand, I thought it forged for woman or sickly child.

[after killing two Romans soldiers in gladiatorial combat] I will have more blood! To honor my brother Crixus, and all who follow him to the afterlife! Gannicus, take position.

Two Romans seem to deliver no contest. Send three, so that I may deliver proper tribute!

SSibyl

[watching Spartacus fight in the makeshift arena] I have never laid eyes upon the games.

These are but dim reflection of the glory.

SSibyl

You speak as if heart yearns for such days.

To return to shackle and lash, no. To stand upon the sands again - to know clear purpose of who you are and what must be done... that is a thing that calls to all of my kind.

This night, hearts lift in joyous reunion with those thought lost to us. Fathers. Brothers and sisters. Sons and lovers. Hold them close, for the shadow of Rome is upon us. We shall seek our destiny together, whatever the cost. Yet let us not pass from memory those yet absent from our arms. Those who sacrificed their lives so that all may live free!

S1Victory

It is a thing known, is it not, that you cannot win this conflict?

Sentiments shared by all the Romans I have killed who held such belief.

My son among them.

Apologies, Imperator, I cannot give voice to regret of passing to the soldier who robbed Crixus of life.

The Gaul died on the field of battle! An honor denied Tiberius!

It is not as I had commanded - yet the woman had been rudely treated by his hands, and her arm claimed vengeance.

As manner so moved in memory of my son, and yours towards wife no longer -

Do not think to place your loss upon equal footing! Your son took up arms for the Republic. The same one that tore my wife from grasp, and condemned her to slavery and death.

And now you would lead thousands to join her in futile attempt.

Whatever happens to my people, we decide it. We decide our fates, not you...not the Romans...not even the gods.

You but choose time and place of journey's end.

Better to fall by the sword than by the master's lash.

And will it balm festering wound? If the Bringer of Rain heralds miracle, and defeats Crassus and his legions, will he withdraw from the Republic, content that he's brought those who so injured him to justice?

There is no justice...not in this world.

At last...a thing we agree upon. [They shake hands.]

When we again meet, I will kill you.

No, you're going to try.

That is all a free man can do.

Soon Crassus will give command! And we shall face his legions in open battle! We stand in the shadow of greater might! As their Republic cast across the lives of every man, every woman, and every child condemned to the darkness of slavery! Forced to toil and suffer, so that those of coin and position can see their fortunes grow beyond need or purpose! Let us teach them, that all who draw breath are of equal worth! And that those that seek to place heel upon the throat of liberty will fall to the cry of freedom!

[After he defeated Spartacus at the cost of his son, lover and at the political defeat to Pompey] The past cannot be altered. The present holds but regret and loss. It is only in the days to come that a man may find solace ... when memory fades.

[final words] Do not shed a tear. There is no greater victory...than to fall from this world...a free man.

AAgron

[last words of the show] One day Rome shall fade and crumble, yet you shall always be remembered.
