Quotes 

• [discussing Memmio] 

  Titus Pullo : He offered me peace terms.

  Lucius Vorenus : And?

  Titus Pullo : I headbutted the cunt, bit his tongue out.

  Lucius Vorenus : And he took that as a no?

• Mark Antony : [Antony and Vorenus are drunk on the eve of Octavian's assault on Cleopatra's palace]  Do you believe there is an afterlife?

  Lucius Vorenus : Of course.

  Mark Antony : Well, there are people who say no. And this is all there is.

  Lucius Vorenus : Who says that?

  Mark Antony : Learned men. Greeks, probably.

  Lucius Vorenus : Greeks?

  Mark Antony : Hm.

  Lucius Vorenus : [leaning forward]  Greeks talk a whole pile of nonsense.

  Mark Antony : Fuck 'em.

  Lucius Vorenus : Fuck 'em.

• [a wounded Vorenus collapses after a fight] 

  Caesarion : Is he all right?

  Titus Pullo : [checking Vorenus' wound]  Huh? I've seen worse. He'll be fine.

  Lucius Vorenus : [groaning]  Oh, no, I'm done.

  Titus Pullo : Gerrae, you big girl. It's just a few scratches. We just need to lay up somewhere for a rest. Couple of days, you'll be back on your feet.

  Lucius Vorenus : Take me home.

  Titus Pullo : Home? Home's a long way, it's best we just -

  [Vorenus grabs Pullo tightly] 

  Lucius Vorenus : [quietly]  I don't want to die in this fucking shithole. I want to see my children. Take me home.

  Titus Pullo : All right, brother. All right. We'll do that.

• Mark Antony : [examining the knife Cleopatra apparently used to kill herself]  No, this won't do. Let's use a proper, Roman sword.

  [Vorenus offers his sword. Antony draws it] 

  Mark Antony : It's a damn good sword. It's a good place to die, at any rate. Could've been a ditch in Gaul. Men that knew Alexander... once stood here.

  Lucius Vorenus : Good a place as any, I suppose.

  Mark Antony : [laughs and cradles Vorenus's head affectionalty]  Lucius Vorenus, iron to the end. Don't you die here with me. You get out while you can.

  Lucius Vorenus : I'll do that. It's been an honour serving with you, Sir.

  Mark Antony : [smiles, unexpectedly touched]  Has it? I... I hope so.

  [He positions the tip of the sword above his stomach] 

  Mark Antony : Brace it there, eh?

  Lucius Vorenus : Any instructions or messages, sir?

  Mark Antony : No. Just... tell the people I died well. I died Roman.

• [about Memmio] 

  Titus Pullo : He only offers to parlay and says the whole thing was your fault in the first place, and that me and him should make peace.

  Lucius Vorenus : What did you reply?

  Titus Pullo : I, uh, headbutted the cunny and bit his tongue out.

  Lucius Vorenus : Took that as a no, then, did he?

  Caesarion : You bit out his tongue?

  Titus Pullo : I did. Tasted like chicken.

  Caesarion : That is disgusting!
