Peter:
Let me tell you of the burden I bear. Justus told the others I was steadfast. He didn't know. The night Jesus needed me most, I denied him... not once... but 3 times. I swore I never knew him. Now...
Marcellus Gallio: [stammering, pointing to himself] I... crucified him. Peter: I know. Demetrius told me. Marcellus Gallio: [shocked] And you can forgive me? Peter: He forgave you from the cross. Can I do less? Now, is there anything stopping you? Can you become one of us? Marcellus Gallio: [new strength in his voice] From this day forward, I am enlisted in His service. I offer Him my fortune, my sword, and my life. And this I pledge to you on my honor as a Roman.

Marcellus Gallio:
Surely you don't believe he rose from the dead.
Justus: He lives more surely than we do. Marcellus Gallio: He's DEAD! And no moonstruck girl can sing him to life again! Justus: How do you know that he's dead? Marcellus Gallio: The soldier told me. The soldier who saw the lance thrust into his side. The soldier who was - out there! Justus: What's wrong? Marcellus Gallio: Were you out there?

Judas:
Why must men doubt? Tell them they must keep faith! They must keep faith!
[walking away] Demetrius: Wait, tell who? Who are you? Judas: My name is Judas.

Emperor Tiberius:
For your sake I interfered, when my wife wanted to give you to Caligula. For your sake I brought your tribune back from Palestine. For your sake, I now free you from him.
Diana: Sire, I have no wish to be free. Emperor Tiberius: Have you gone mad too? Diana: He had everything then. He could have had me too. I wanted him, but I wasn't sure that I loved him. Now I am sure. Emperor Tiberius: I see it my duty to forbid you to see him again. As a child you were wise, but now you reason like a woman - foolishly.

Emperor Tiberius:
Tell me, what was your impression of Pilate?
Marcellus Gallio: It's not my place to... Emperor Tiberius: I'm asking you. Did you find him capable? Marcellus Gallio: Yes sire, he's considered a good administrator. Emperor Tiberius: Stern, as befits a Roman governor? Marcellus Gallio: I'm sure of that, sire. Emperor Tiberius: Just? Marcellus Gallio: I - I can't say. Emperor Tiberius: Why not? Surely you can give me some sort of an answer? Tell me, tribune - what happened out there?

Emperor Tiberius:
When it comes, this is how it will start. Some obscure martyr in some forgotten province, then madness. Infecting the legions, rocking the empire, then the finish of Rome.

Are you still ill?
