Quotes
-
Gaius Tanno : You remind me of an acrobat in the arena walking on a rope stretched high in the air.
Marcus : Walking on a rope?
Gaius Tanno : Yes, a rope no wider than my thumb.
Marcus : [laughing] I'm not walking on a rope.
Gaius Tanno : Oh, yes, you are. Every poor man is. You think you're balanced nicely, but only money can make you safe. Some little unexpected thing, and you're down... smashed!
