I'll show them something they've never seen."   Maximus "My name is Maximus Decimus Meridius, Commander of the Northern Armies, general of the Felix Legions, servant to the true Emperor, Marcus Aurelius, father to to a murdered son, husband to a murdered wife and I will have my vengence, in this life or the next."   Maximus "Dirt comes off easier than blood."   Maximus "You are the son I should have had."   Marcus to Maximus "Poor sister.
