James Purefoy credited as playing...
Mark Antony
- Mark Antony: I'm glad you are so confident; some might call it hubris
- Gaius Julius Caesar: It's only hubris if I fail
- [after warning Cicero, Antony starts to leave the Senate house]
- Marcus Junius Brutus: Antony?
- Mark Antony: Hmm?
- Marcus Junius Brutus: You said you had good news for us.
- Mark Antony: Oh, of course! How silly of me. A courier came from Alexandria. Caesar has lifted the siege and massacred the armies of Ptolemy. He is safe and sound, and master of all of Egypt.
- [laughing]
- Mark Antony: The man is a damn prodigy, eh?
- Mark Antony: And Cicero, if I ever hear your name in connection with whispers of treachery again, I will cut off these soft, pink hands, and nail them to the Senate door.
