Odoacer
- [Romulus is brought in chains before Odoacer]
- Odoacer: Is it for you that so many people have died? Such an innocent face.
- Wulfila: The blood of the Caesars runs in his veins.
- Odoacer: Lord Wulfila here thinks I should fear you. Is this true?
- Wulfila: He is the last of the bloodline! End it now! Old Rome will die, and we will rule!
- Odoacer: "We?" *We* rule? Take care, Wulfila. Sometimes your tongue runs ahead of your brain.
- Odoacer: [draws his sword] What do you say, boy? Should I be afraid of you?
- Romulus Augustus: Why is Caesar treated so?
- Odoacer: "Why is Caesar treated so?"
- [Odoacer seizes Romulus by the hair and holds up the sword so that his face is reflected in it]
- Odoacer: Perhaps Wulfila's right. Perhaps I should end this here, right now. Can you see yourself? Can you see your face? What do you see? You see a boy... or do you see a Caesar?
- Romulus Augustus: I see...
- Odoacer: Tell me.
- Romulus Augustus: I see a Caesar. I *am* Caesar.
- [pause]
- Odoacer: Wrong answer.
