• Mark Antony : Join with me, Lucilius.

  Lucilius : The war is over. There are no other conquests to be made.

  Mark Antony : No? Only the most dangerous, my friend. A woman. A woman remains to be conquered.

  Lucilius : A woman?

  Mark Antony : A wench. A wench who I think gave Brutus ships and supplies while she pretended the most diplomatic friendship with Octavius and myself. There's a conquest to challenge a man. The serpent of the Nile, Cleopatra, Queen of Egypt.
