Movie quotes

  • (..) We've heard the stories about your grandfather. His hand in betraying Julius Caesar. And how he wailed when he was crucified. MESSALA: In spite of that, I'm thankful Pilate's on my side, brother. More thankful to see you. Me, too. To think you were just a lowly Hur before you left. (BOTH CHUCKLE) (..)
