Emperor Tiberius: Tell me, what was your impression of Pilate? Marcellus Gallio: It's not my place to... Emperor Tiberius: I'm asking you. Did you find him capable? Marcellus Gallio: Yes sire, he's considered a good administrator. Emperor Tiberius: Stern, as befits a Roman governor? Marcellus Gallio: I'm sure of that, sire. Emperor Tiberius: Just? Marcellus Gallio: I - I can't say. Emperor Tiberius: Why not? Surely you can give me some sort of an answer? Tell me, tribune - what happened out there?

Diana: It's good to see you, Marcellus. Marcellus Gallio: It's ah - good to see you - again. Diana: Then you do remember me? Marcellus Gallio: Ah - yes, of course. Let me see now, it was the - was the... Diana: And your promise, have you forgotten that too? Marcellus Gallio: What promise? Diana: To marry me. Marcellus Gallio: Was I drunk? Diana: That's not very flattering, Marcellus. Marcellus Gallio: Oh, I - I mean, if you'd tell me when I was supposed to have said this - the circumstances... Diana: Oh, I remember them perfectly. I'd cut my finger, and I cried. And then you took the dagger and cut your own finger to show that it didn't really hurt, and then you kissed me, and I stopped crying - and then you promised to marry me when we grew up. Marcellus Gallio: Dianna! Where have your freckles gone? Diana: I lost them. Marcellus Gallio: Oh, I loved every one of them. Diana: Then I'm sorry I lost them.

Diana: Sire, Marcellus is my chosen husband. I wish to go with him. Caligula: Stand back! You're not on trial! There's no evidence against you! Diana: Then if it please you, sire, I'll provide evidence. I have no wish to live another hour in an empire ruled by you! You dare to call yourself a Caesar? Once the Caesars of Rome were noble, but in you, noble blood has turned to poison. You corrupt Rome with your spite and malice. Caligula: Stop! Stop it! Diana: That you should be Caesar! Vicious, treacherous, drunk with power, an evil, insane monster posing as emperor! Caligula: STOP IT! Diana: As for me, I have found another king. I want to go with my husband into his kingdom. Caligula: Then, by the gods, you shall! GO, BOTH OF YOU, INTO YOUR KINGDOM!
