Julius Caesar Page #3

I swear to...

Father...

Who are your friends?

Portia and Marcus.

Don't you remember them?

Of course Cato's children.

Just don't grow them so much.

Thats our cousin.

Brutus...

What you reading?

- "Ethics".

Aristotle?

- My uncle Cato gave it to me.

How is he?

- He's as grumpy as ever.

Hasn't changed a bit.

- Mother.

Caesar!

Don't get up.

- I'm not ill.

Let me get dressed.

I'm well,

I just got up too fast.

You don't have to get dressed.

Lets lie down together.

No wait.

Just...

Cornelia...

I never stopped waiting for you.

I never stopped missing you.

and now...

Here...

This is not supposed to happen.

I'm back now, my love.

Two years is just too long.

There are those of you who work with Sulla.

and those of you who worked...

...against him.

But not all that worked with

him agreed with his laws.

I therefore propose that the rights

of the tribunes be restored

So that once again the people

can be fairly represented.

I propose a thorough reform of the courts.

And an unqualified reinstatement

of the senate

As the principal body of government.

Caesar!

It's good to see you fresh

from another victory.

Oh he let's me win.

It makes me feel old.

I'm Glad to see you made it back safely.

I hear you met with a number

of obstacles.

Yes. Fortunately your friend

Nicomedias has proven to be a great ally.

I never had a chance to thank you...

...for saving my life.

You defied Sulla.

He told you to divorce your wife and you

said no even though it meant sudden death.

That impressed me.

And it...

reminded me of something.

You see my friend,

Sulla once told me

to divorce my wife.

And unlike you I obeyed him.

I left the one woman I loved.

Life is full of lessons.

So we thought each other

a thing of two.

Tell me how to get where

you are now.

Don't tell me I was wrong

to hope you were spared.

I have something to give to Rome.

But I have no voice.

If you want a voice in Rome,

Win the people,

speak from your heart...

And when you make a promise,

keep it!

Pompey...

I promise you

if you ever need my help...

...just give me a sign,

I'll come to your aid.

My name is Julius Caesar.

I'm here to honor

my wife, Cornelia...

...publicly

and for the last time.

She was a good woman.

She gave no thought to her own wellbeing.

Only to the wellbeing of others.

Rome was her first and greatest love.

We shared that love.

We dreamt of a Rome

without dictators.

Where sons never raise their

hands against their fathers.

Where brothers never raise

their swords against brothers.

Where Romans lived at peace

with fellow Romans by their side.

I ask you now to join with me,

In honoring not only the
