　　《角斗士》經典臺詞

　　(Maximus is boosting morale.)

　　Maximus: Archers, three weeks from now I will be harvesting my crops. Imaging where you will be, and it will be so. Hold the line, stay with me. If you find yourself alone riding in green fields with the sun on your face, do not be trouble, for you are in the Elysium, and you've already died. Brothers, what we do alive echoes in eternity!

　　(Caesar talks to Maximus after a ferocious battle)

　　Caesar: Tell me about your home, Maximus.

　　Maximus: My houce is in the hill above Tiupllo, a very simple place. pink stones that warm in the sun. A kitchen garden, it smells of herbs in the day, jasmine in the evening. Through the gate is a gaint poplar. Figs, apples, pears, and soil mark is black, black as my wife's hair. Grapes on the south slopes, olives on the north. Wild ponies playing in the house that teach my son, he always wants to be one of them.

　　Caesar: Remember the last time that you were home?

　　Maximus: Two years 264 days of this morning.

　　Caesar: Oh I envy you, Maximus. It's a good home, worth fighting for. there is one more duty that I ask of you before you go home.

　　Maximus: What would you have me do? Caesar.

　　Caesar: I want you to become the protector of Rome after I die. I will empower you to one end alone, to give power to the people of Rome, and end the corruption that had crippled it.
