Gladiator (2000) quotes

Proximo : I am Proximo! I shall be closer to you for the next few days, which will be the last of your miserable lives, than that bitch of a mother who first brought you screaming into this world! I did not pay good money for your company. I paid it so that I might profit from your death. And just as your mother was there at your beginning, I shall be there at your end. And when you die - and die you shall - your transition will be to the sound of...
Proximo : Gladiators... I salute you.

Proximo

Lucius is safe.

Maximus

Gracchus : And after your glorious coup, what then? You take your five thousand and... leave?
Maximus : Yes, I will leave. The soldiers will stay here for your protection, under the guidance of the Senate.
Gracchus : So, after Rome's all yours, you just give it back to the people. Tell me why.
Maximus : Because that was a dying man's last wish. I will kill Commodus. The fate of Rome, I leave to you.
Gracchus : Marcus Aurelius trusted you. His daughter trusts you. I will trust you. Give me two days, and I will purchase your freedom. And you, stay alive, or I'll be dead.
