Gladiator (2000) quotes

Proximo : Thrust this into another man's flesh, and they will applaud and love you for that. You may even begin to love them
Proximo : for that.

Proximo

I may die here in this cell or in the arena tomorrow. What possible difference can I make?

Maximus

Commodus : Lucius will stay with me now. And if his mother so much as looks at me in a manner that displeases me, he will die. If she decides to be noble and takes her own life, he will die.
Commodus : And as for you, you will love me as I loved you. You will provide me with an heir of pure blood, so that Commodus and his progeny will rule for a thousand years. Am I not merciful?
Commodus : AM I NOT MERCIFUL?

Commodus
