Amytis : [singing] We women like men who can baby us, Who take us and make us feel weak...
-
Amytis : We've already been searched - thoroughly!
-
Amytis : You mean you don't? I can't believe it. The man who conquered the Alps, who brought the Roman Army to its knees, and he can't swim?
-
Amytis : Tell me General, have you conquered a great many cities?
Hannibal : More than I can remember.
Amytis : How do you go about it? I mean, what's it like?
Hannibal : Well, there are no hard and fast rules in warfare, but I'd say the first thing is to make a complete survey of the enemy.
Amytis : Oh, yes.
Hannibal : Know his strength as you know your own. Then deploy your forces.
Amytis : What does that mean?
Hannibal : Put them in the right position.
Amytis : Oh. Oh, I see. Put them in the right position.
Hannibal : Then, uh, then when you've deployed sufficiently, you, uh, you make a feint at his strength.
Amytis : I don't understand.
Hannibal : Well, you, uh, pretend to attack, but you don't. You, uh, fall back instead.
Amytis : Ahh. You fall back instead. Yes.
Hannibal : Then, uh, when he advances, you encircle him. You strike at his weakness. Hard and quick.
Amytis : Suppose he has no weakness?
Hannibal : That would be very unusual.
Amytis : It sounds exciting.
Hannibal : It is.

Amytis : Relax. Relax! We'll never get there unless you relax. Come on. There now. Isn't that easy? You see what I mean?

-
Amytis : You don't want a mate. You want a slave. Just something else to exhibit with all the rest of your bloodstained loot!
-
Amytis : How could a man be so brilliant in war and so stupid in peace?
-
Amytis : What is the fate of one woman compared to the safety of a whole city?
-
Amytis : People, do not grieve. It's better that I go with this fiend than to allow our lovely city to perish at his foul hands. And, so, with pride I give my all, that Rome may stand, though I may fall.
-
Amytis : [singing] I have a dream, One I must follow, Mine is a dream, A dream of flaming desire, I see a man, Whose arms are waiting to hold me, And once our lips have met, He'll set me on fire...
