Patroclus and Achilles in “Unfinished Business”

The Trojans are burning our supplies!

And with us so close to victory. How inconsiderate of them.

If we run out of food, we will starve with everyone else.

Well, I'm sure Menelaus has it under control-

He doesn't have it under control; he doesn't have anything under control! The time has come, Achilles! [Achilles walks away, Patroclus follows him] You've lost a prize, and you've been sitting around like sour milk ever since. You're no better than Agamemnon. [Achilles glares at him] He knows he's an arrogant bastard; he doesn't try to hide it behind some lofty ideals!

Are you done?

I'm done sitting around, waiting for you to remember that you have a pair of balls and a sword. I would like to go home now, and I cannot until this war is finished!

[coldly] Well, perhaps you should leave, before I forget that I once held affection for you.

[steps closer, puts his hand on Achilles' shoulder] It's not affection, it's love. And I'm not afraid of it.

... When my mother dipped me in the river as a child, she did so with a mother's love. She gripped me tightly. Even as she looked to make me invincible... she feared she'd drown me. [caresses Patroclus' cheek] Love is weakness.

... It doesn't have to be. [squeezes Achilles' hand] Fight with me. If not, then fight for me.
