• Marc Antony : Where are my men?

  Cleopatra : Oh. Oh, Carmion, where are Romans who came here today, do you know?

  Charmion : They're sleeping, my Queen.

  Marc Antony : Sleeping? What for?

  Charmion : They are - well, I should say they are a little tired.

  Marc Antony : You mean a little drunk!

  Cleopatra : No. Awfully drunk.

• Cleopatra : [Charmion and Iras are helping Cleopatra get dressed for Caesar]  Am I all right?

  Charmion : Marvelous!

• Apollodorus : [to Cleopatra, about Caesar]  It wasn't in his arms he wanted to hold Egypt. It was in his treasury.
