精彩对白：
Chamberlain: We shall now have the privilege of watching mighty Caesar...battle his way through our market place.
General: Marcellus, a dozen front-rank men, swords only. I want a path cleared on a direct line to the palace steps, then as many more you need to keep it open.
Caesar: Marcellus. It's precisely what they hope we'd be stupid enough to do: Manhandle their people. No. This is their market day, We will go marketing.
General: You're not serious.
Caesar: We will shop our way to the palace steps. Have you my money? Everything is to be paid for by coin. Tell the men to put away their swords and carry their moneybags in hand.
Caesar: Olives. Oil of Olives.
Ah! The wine of Samos!
How much for your wine?
Four drachma. Sixty of your wine for my men.
Pay him. Pay him.
King Ptolemy: You said the Romans were going to push the people back and make them angry. Why aren't they doing what you said they'd do?
Achillas: Your king has asked you a question, Lord Chamberlain.
Chamberlain: The, uh, Romans have degenerated minds, Most High Majesty. They, uh, do the unexpected.
Achillas: Particularly one Roman. Master of the unexpected.
Theodotus: But with so few men.
Caesar: You all look so impressive. Any one of you could be king.
Chamberlain: His Divine Majesty, my Lord Ptolemy, lord of the upper regions and of the lower regions, son of Ra, of Horus and of Thoth, beloved of...
Caesar: Et cetera, et cetera. You welcome me. And I, Gaius Julius Caesar, consul of the Roman Senate, Pontifex Maximus. Et cetera, et cetera. Thank you.
From the Senate and the people of Rome, Hail King Ptolemy. And, uh, his sister and co-ruler, Queen Cleopatra.
Caesar: They won't tell you so, but Cleopatra's dead. She tried to kill me, and then we chased her off into the desert. And there, she died.
Chamberlain: Whereas it is true that His Majesty's sister...repeatedly plotted to have him killed, it is not true that Cleopatra is dead. Whereas it is true that she, uh, fled from Alexandria.
Caesar: I seem to be always interrupting you, but the search for truth can go on and on.
Pothinus, is it not? Lord Chamberlain...and chief eunuch to King Ptolemy...an exaltedrank...obtained not without certain, shall we say, sacrifice.
Theodotus, am I right? Tutor to His Majesty in history, philosophy and, uh, ambition.
And Achillas. They tell me you're a good soldier.
As one to another then, where is Queen Cleopatra?
Achillas: With her army.
Caesar: And how many of your men between her and Alexandria?
Achillas: Enough.
Theodotus: May I speak? Surely you have come here in peace, mighty Caesar, nor do we present ourselves to you in anything but warm and respectful welcome.
Chamberlain: Actually, our only problem being an intern alone of concern only to us. Why have you come, Caesar?
Caesar: As we all know, when the father of both Ptolemy and Cleopatra died, he named the two of them to rule jointly over Egypt. Rome was appointed their guardian and the executor of his will. I have come in the name of Rome to ask why Queen Cleopatra has been deposed, to resolve the differences between her and King Ptolemy...and to see that they peacefully resume their joint rulership of Egypt.
Chamberlain: That will be difficult. Cleopatra has forfeited her right.
Caesar: I shall try to decide justly.
King Ptolemy: Don't you see that he's going to send for her? He's going to bring Cleopatra back.来源：北京新航道托福培训
Chamberlain: The sun which sheds its grace upon the ruler of the two lands burns too brightly perhaps. If our Lord Ptolemy wishes to retire...
King Ptolemy: I wish nothing of the kind! I'm not going to be put out of the way until I've watched you give him that!
Chamberlain: A thousand pardons, Divine Majesty, I had almost forgotten. My Lord Ptolemy wishes to enhance his welcome to Caesar by a gift of some importance.
