This film is a gangster version of Shakespeare's 'Julius Caesar'. It is set in the modern world of organized crime. It is shot in black and white to recall the gangster-noir movies of the 30's and 40's. Shakespeare's language has been preserved with just a few edits to fit the context of the film. As Caesar is about to be made the new 'don', Cassius convinces Brutus, Caesar's most trusted friend, to join a conspiracy to assassinate him because he has become too 'ambitious'.

00:00:00Silence.
00:00:09Bell.
00:00:17Silence.
00:00:25Silence.
00:00:55Silence.
00:01:05Silence.
00:01:15Silence.
00:01:30Silence.
00:01:55Silence.
00:02:16Sit on and leave no ceremony out.
00:02:25Caesar.
00:02:26Huh?
00:02:27Who calls?
00:02:28May every noise be still.
00:02:29Peace yet again.
00:02:31Who is it in the press that calls on me?
00:02:33Speak.
00:02:34Caesar has turned to hear.
00:02:36Beware the Ides of March.
00:02:39What man is that?
00:02:41This madman here bids you beware the Ides of March.
00:02:44Set him before me.
00:02:45Let me see his face.
00:02:46Follow him.
00:02:47Come from the throng.
00:02:49Look upon Caesar.
00:02:52What sayest thou to me now?
00:02:54Speak once again.
00:02:56Beware the Ides of March.
00:03:02He is a dreamer.
00:03:04Let us leave him.
00:03:05Pass.
00:03:25Brutus, I do observe you now.
00:03:29Of late, I have not from your eyes that gentleness and show of love as I was wont to have.
00:03:34You bear too stubborn and too strange a hand over your friend that loves you.
00:03:39Cassius, be not deceived.
00:03:41If I have veiled my looks, I turn the trouble of my confidence merely upon myself.
00:03:46Vexed I am of late with passion of some difference, conceptions only proper to myself,
00:03:51which give some soil, perhaps, to mine behavior.
00:03:54But let not, therefore, my good friends be grieved,
00:03:57among which never, Cassius, be you one,
00:03:59nor construe any further my neglect,
00:04:01that poor Brutus, with himself at war, forgets the shows of love to other men.
00:04:06Then, Brutus, I have much mistook your passion.
00:04:09By means whereof this breast of mine hath buried thoughts of great value,
00:04:13worthy cogitations.
00:04:17Tell me, good Brutus, can you see your face?
00:04:20No, Cassius, for the eyes see not itself but by reflections of some other things.
00:04:25Tis just, and it is very much lamented, Brutus,
00:04:28that you have no such hidden mirrors as would turn your hidden worthiness into your eye,
00:04:32that you might see your shadow.
00:04:34I have heard where many of the best respect in Rome,
00:04:37except immortal Caesar, speaking of Brutus,
00:04:40and groaning underneath the sage's yoke,
00:04:42at which that noble Brutus had his eyes.
00:04:45Into what dangers would you lead me to, Cassius?
00:04:48That you would have me seeking to myself for that which is not in me.
00:04:51Therefore, good Brutus, be prepared to hear.
00:04:54And since you know you cannot see yourself so well as by reflection,
00:04:58I, your glass, will modestly discover to yourself
00:05:02that of yourself which you yet know not of.
00:05:06And be not jealous on me, gentle Brutus, were I a common laugher,
00:05:10or did you used to stale with ordinary oaths my love to every new protester,
00:05:14or if you know that I do fawn on men and hug them hard,
00:05:17and after scandal them,
00:05:19or if you know that I do profess myself in banqueting to all the rout,
00:05:22then hold me dangerous.
00:05:24Caesar! Hail Caesar!
00:05:26What means this shouting?
00:05:28Caesar! Hail Caesar!
00:05:29Do you fear the people choose Caesar for your king?
00:05:32Do you fear it?
00:05:34Then must I think you would not have it so.
00:05:36I would not, yet I love him well.
00:05:39But wherefore do you hold me here so long?
00:05:42What is it that you would have impart to me?
00:05:44If it ought be toward the general good,
00:05:46then set honour in one eye and death upon the other,
00:05:48and I will look upon both indifferently,
00:05:50for let the God so speed me,
00:05:52I love the name of honour more than I fear death.
00:05:54I know that virtue to be in you, Brutus,
00:05:57as well as I do know your outward favour.
00:06:00Well, honour is the subject of my story.
00:06:04I cannot tell what you and other men think of this life,
00:06:07but for my single self,
00:06:09I'd as leap not be as live,
00:06:11as be in awe of such a thing as I myself.
00:06:15I was born for you, Caesar, so were you.
00:06:19We both have fed his well,
00:06:21and we both can endure the winter's cold as well as he.
00:06:25This man has now become a god.
00:06:27Cassius is a wretched creature,
00:06:29and must bend his body of Caesar carelessly but nod on him.
00:06:34He had a fever when he was in Spain,
00:06:36and when the fit was on him,
00:06:38I did mark how he did shake.
00:06:40This true, this god did shake.
00:06:43His coward lips did from their colour fly,
00:06:46and that same eye, whose bend doth all the world,
00:06:48did lose his luster.
00:06:50I did hear him groan.
00:06:52In that tongue of his, the bad Romans mark him
00:06:54and write their speeches in their books.
00:06:56Alas, he cried, give me some drink, Titinius.
00:06:58He's a sick girl.
00:07:00Ye gods, it doth amaze me.
00:07:02A man of such a feeble temper
00:07:04should so get the start of the majestic world,
00:07:06and bear the palm alone.
00:07:09Hail Caesar! Hail Caesar!
00:07:12Another general shout.
00:07:14I fear these are some new honours that are heaped upon Caesar.
00:07:17Why, man, he doth bestride the narrow world like a colossus.
00:07:23We petty men walk under his huge legs
00:07:26and peep about to find ourselves dishonourable graves.
00:07:35Men at some time are masters of their fate.
00:07:39If our dear Brutus is not in our stars,
00:07:43we are ourselves, and we are underlings.
00:07:48Brutus and Caesar.
00:07:52What should be in that Caesar?
00:07:56Why should his name be sounded more than yours?
00:07:58Write them together, yours is his fairer name.
00:08:01Sound them, it doth become the mouth as well.
00:08:03Weigh them, it is as heavy.
00:08:05Conjure with them, Brutus will start a spirit as soon as Caesar.
00:08:09Now in the name of all the gods at once,
00:08:11upon what meat doth this our Caesar feed that he has grown so great?
00:08:15O age, thou art shamed.
00:08:17Rome, thou hast lost the breed of noble bloods.
00:08:21When went there by an age, since the great flood,
00:08:24but it was famed with more than with one man?
00:08:27When could they say till now that talked of Rome,
00:08:29that her wide walls encompassed but one man?
00:08:33Now, is it Rome indeed,
00:08:36and Rome enough when there is in it but one only man?
00:08:43You and I have heard our fathers say,
00:08:46there was a Brutus once that would have broke the eternal devil
00:08:49to keep his state in Rome,
00:08:52as easily as a king.
00:08:59That you love me, I am nothing jealous.
00:09:02What you work me to, I have some name.
00:09:06I have thought of this, and these times I shall recount hereafter,
00:09:08but for the present, might entreat you be any further moved.
00:09:13What you have said, I will consider.
00:09:15What you have to say, I will with patience hear,
00:09:17and find the time both meet to hear such high things.
00:09:21Until then, my noble friend, chew upon this.
00:09:24Brutus had rather be a villager than repute himself a son of Rome
00:09:27under these hard conditions that this time is like to lay upon us.
00:09:31I am glad my weak words have struck but thus much sure fire in Brutus.
00:09:39The games are done. Caesar is returning.
00:09:50Antonius. Caesar.
00:09:52Let me have men about me that are fat, sleek-headed men,
00:09:56and such as sleep a night.
00:09:59John Cassius has a lean and hungry look.
00:10:03Such men are dangerous.
00:10:05Fear him not, Caesar. He is a noble Roman and well given.
00:10:08Would he were fatter.
00:10:10But I fear him not.
00:10:12Yet if my name were liable to fear,
00:10:15there is no man I should so soon avoid as John Sper Cassius.
00:10:20He reads much, he is a great observer,
00:10:23and he looks quite through the deeds of men.
00:10:26But seldom he smiles.
00:10:28And smiles in such a sort as if he mocked himself
00:10:32and scorned his spirit that could be moved to smile at anything.
00:10:36Such men as he be never at heart's ease
00:10:39whilst they behold a greater than themselves,
00:10:42and therefore are they very dangerous.
00:10:45I tell thee rather what is to be feared than what I fear.
00:10:49For always I am Caesar.
00:10:52Come on my right hand.
00:10:55And tell me truly what thou think'st of him.
00:11:03And so it is.
00:11:08Tomorrow, if it please you,
00:11:11I shall speak with you and go home with you.
00:11:14Or if you will, come home with me and I will wait.
00:11:17I will do so.
00:11:19Till then, think of the world.
00:11:25Well, Brutus, thou art noble.
00:11:30Yet I see thy honourable medal may be wrought from that it is disposed.
00:11:35Therefore it is meet that noble minds keep ever with their lives.
00:11:40But those so firm they cannot be seduced.
00:11:44I will this evening, in Brutus's window throw,
00:11:47as if they came from several hands,
00:11:49I will this evening, in Brutus's window throw,
00:11:51as if they came from several hands,
00:11:53writings, all tending to the great opinion that Rome holds of his name.
00:11:57And by this, let Caesar cede him sure,
00:12:00for he will shake him, or his days endure.
00:12:06It must be by his death.
00:12:08And for my part, I know no personal cause to spurn at him,
00:12:11but for the general.
00:12:13And for the general, he would be crowned.
00:12:16How that might change his nature.
00:12:18There is the question.
00:12:20Crown him that.
00:12:22And then, I grant, we put a sting in him that his will may do danger with.
00:12:26Then, lest he may prevent,
00:12:29think of him as a serpent's egg,
00:12:32and kill him in the shell.
00:12:37I found this paper thus sealed up,
00:12:39and I'm sure it did not lie there when I went to bed.
00:12:42Let me just get you to bed. It is not yet day.
00:12:46Is not tomorrow the Ides of March?
00:12:48I know not, sir.
00:12:50Look in the calendar and bring me word.
00:12:52I will.
00:13:03I fear we are too bold upon your rest.
00:13:06Tomorrow, Brutus, do we trouble you?
00:13:09I have been up this hour, awake all night.
00:13:12Know I these men that come along with you?
00:13:15Yes, every man of them.
00:13:17And every man that honors you.
00:13:19And every one doth wish you had that opinion of yourself,
00:13:21which every noble Roman bears of you.
00:13:24Miss Decius,
00:13:27Miss Casca,
00:13:29and Miss Massala.
00:13:31They are all welcomed.
00:13:34What watchful cares do interpose themselves between sure eyes in night?
00:13:38Shall I entreat a word?
00:13:46Give me your hands all over.
00:13:48Shall no man else be touched but only Caesar?
00:13:51Decius, well urged.
00:13:53I think it is not meet that Mark Antony,
00:13:55so well beloved of Caesar, should outlive Caesar,
00:13:58which will find in him a shrewd contriver.
00:14:00And you know his means, if he improve them,
00:14:02may well stretch so far as to annoy us all,
00:14:05which to prevent that Antony and Caesar fall together.
00:14:10Our course will seem too bloody, Cassius.
00:14:12To cut the head off and the hack at the limbs
00:14:14is like wrath and death and envy afterwards,
00:14:16for Antony is but a limb of Caesar.
00:14:19Let us be known as sacrificers, not butchers.
00:14:23For we all stand up against the spirit of Caesar,
00:14:26and the spirit of men there is no blood.
00:14:28Oh, that we could come by Caesar's spirit and not dismember Caesar.
00:14:33But, alas, he must bleed for it.
00:14:37But, gentle friends, let's kill him boldly and not wrathfully.
00:14:41Let's carve him as a dish fit for the gods
00:14:43and not hew him as a carcass fit for the hounds.
00:14:46And let our hearts, as subtle masters do,
00:14:48stir up their servants into acts of rage,
00:14:50and afterwards seem to chide them.
00:14:52This will make our purpose seem necessary, not envious,
00:14:56which so appearing to the common eye,
00:14:58we shall be called purgers, not murderers.
00:15:03Peace, count the clock.
00:15:06Love, it's stricken three.
00:15:08It is time to part.
00:15:09But it is doubtful yet whether Caesar will come forth today or no,
00:15:12for he is superstitious grown of late,
00:15:14quite from the main opinion he held once of fantasy,
00:15:17of dreams and ceremonies.
00:15:19Could be these apparent prodigies,
00:15:21the unaccustomed terror of this night,
00:15:23and the persuasion of his Calpurnia may hold him from the capital today.
00:15:27Never fear that.
00:15:28If he be so resolved, I can o'ersway him,
00:15:30for he loves to hear that men may be betrayed with flatterers,
00:15:34but when I tell him he hates flatterers,
00:15:36he says he does, being the most flatterer.
00:15:39Let me work, for I can give his humor the true bent,
00:15:42and I will bring him to the capital today.
00:15:45Nay, you, Casca, Ambrurus will fetch him to the capital.
00:15:51By the eighth hour.
00:15:52Be that the uttermost?
00:15:54Be that the uttermost, then.
00:15:56Fail not.
00:15:58Caius Ligarius doth bear Caesar hard,
00:16:01and raided him for speaking well of Pompey.
00:16:04I wonder none of you have thought of him.
00:16:06Send him to me hither. I'll fashion him.
00:16:09The morning comes upon us. We'll leave you, Brutus.
00:16:12And, friends, disperse yourselves,
00:16:14and all remember what you have said,
00:16:16and show yourselves to be true Romans.
00:16:18Gentle friends, look fresh and merrily to-morrow.
00:16:22Let not our looks put on our purpose.
00:16:24Good morrow to you, everyone.
00:16:35Brutus, my lord.
00:16:38Portia, what mean you?
00:16:40Wherefore you rise now?
00:16:41It is not for your health thus to commit
00:16:43your weak condition to the raw cold morning.
00:16:45Nor for yours neither.
00:16:48You've ungently, Brutus, stole from my bed,
00:16:51and yesterday night at supper you suddenly arose
00:16:53and walked about, musing and sighing,
00:16:55with your arms across.
00:16:57And when I asked you what the matter was,
00:16:59you stared at me and said,
00:17:01And when I asked you what the matter was,
00:17:03you stared upon me with ungentle looks.
00:17:06I urged you further, then you scratched your head
00:17:09and too impatiently stamped with your foot.
00:17:12Yet I insisted, yet you answered not,
00:17:15but with angry rapture of your hand
00:17:17gave sign for me to leave you.
00:17:19So I did, fearing to strengthen that impatience
00:17:22which seemed too much enkindled,
00:17:24with all hoping it was but the effect of humor
00:17:27which sometimes hath his hour with every man.
00:17:31It will not let you eat, nor talk, nor sleep.
00:17:35And could it work so much upon your shape
00:17:37as it hath much prevailed on your condition,
00:17:39I should not know you, Brutus.
00:17:42Dear my lord,
00:17:45make me acquainted with the cause of your grief.
00:17:49I am not well in health, that is all.
00:17:52And Brutus is wise,
00:17:54and were he not in health he would embrace
00:17:56some means to come by it.
00:17:57And so I do.
00:17:59Good Portia, go to bed.
00:18:01Is Brutus sick?
00:18:04And is it physical to walk about embraced
00:18:06and suck up the humor of the dank morning?
00:18:08What, is Brutus sick?
00:18:10And will he steal out of his wholesome bed
00:18:12to dare the vile contagion of the night
00:18:14and tempt the roomy and unpurged air
00:18:16to add unto his sickness?
00:18:18No, my Brutus,
00:18:21there is some sick offense within your mind
00:18:24which by the right and virtue of my place
00:18:26I ought to know of.
00:18:28And upon my knees I charm you
00:18:30by my once commended beauty,
00:18:32by all your vows of love and that great vow
00:18:34which did incorporate and make us one,
00:18:37that you unfold to me yourself
00:18:40your half, why you were heavy
00:18:42and what men tonight have had resort to you,
00:18:44for here have been some four or five
00:18:46who did hide their faces even from darkness.
00:18:49Oh, gentle Portia.
00:18:51I should not need if you were gentle, Brutus.
00:18:54Within the bond of marriage, tell me, Brutus,
00:18:57is it accepted that I should know no secrets
00:18:59that appertain to you?
00:19:01Am I yourself but as it were in sort or limitation
00:19:04to keep with you at meals,
00:19:06comfort your bed and talk to you sometimes?
00:19:09Dwell, I bet, in the suburbs of pure good pleasure.
00:19:12If it be no more,
00:19:14Portia is Brutus Harlot, not his wife.
00:19:19You are my true and honorable wife,
00:19:21as dear to me as the running drops
00:19:23that visit my sad heart.
00:19:29Holy gods, grant me worthy of this noble wife.
00:19:34Knock, knock, knock.
00:19:36Hark, someone knocks.
00:19:37Portia, get you in a while,
00:19:39and by and by thy bosom shall partake
00:19:41all the secrets of my heart.
00:19:43All my engagements I will construe to thee,
00:19:45all the character of my sad brow.
00:19:48Lead me in haste.
00:19:51Go.
00:20:00Lucius, who's that knocks?
00:20:06It is a sick man that would speak with you.
00:20:09Caius Ligarius Dacostas spoke.
00:20:11Lucius, stand aside.
00:20:16Vouchsafe good morrow of evil tongue.
00:20:19For the time you have chosen to come out,
00:20:21brave Ligarius, to wear a kerchief.
00:20:23Would you were not sick?
00:20:25I am not sick.
00:20:27If Brutus have in hand any exploit
00:20:29worthy the name honor.
00:20:31What an exploit I have in hand,
00:20:33had you a helpful ear to hear it.
00:20:38By all the gods the Romans bowed before,
00:20:41I here discard my sickness.
00:20:45Soul of Rome,
00:20:47brave son,
00:20:49ride from honorable loins.
00:20:51Thou, like an exorcist,
00:20:54hast conjured up my mortified spirit.
00:20:57Now bid me run,
00:20:59and I will strive with things impossible.
00:21:01Yea, get the better of them.
00:21:04What's to do?
00:21:06A piece of work that will make sick men whole.
00:21:10But are not some whole that we must make sick?
00:21:15What must we also?
00:21:17What it is, my Ligarius, I shall unfold to thee
00:21:20as we are going to whom it must be done.
00:21:23Set on your foot,
00:21:25and with a heart new-fired I will follow.
00:21:28If I do, I will not walk.
00:21:31But it sufficeth that Brutus leads me on.
00:21:35Follow me, then.
00:21:41What sayest thou to me now?
00:21:43Speak once again.
00:21:45Beware of the eyes of Mars.
00:21:51He is a dreamer.
00:21:54Who's within?
00:21:57What mean you, Caesar?
00:21:59Think you to walk forth?
00:22:00You shall not stir out of your house today.
00:22:03Caesar shall forth.
00:22:05The things that threaten me ne'er looked but on my back.
00:22:08When they shall see the face of Caesar,
00:22:11they are banished.
00:22:13Caesar, I never stood on ceremonies,
00:22:15yet now they fright me.
00:22:17There is one within, besides the things that we have heard and seen,
00:22:20recounts most horrid sight seen by the watch.
00:22:23Lions have whelped in the streets,
00:22:26and graves have yawned and yielded up their dead.
00:22:30Fierce, fiery warriors fought upon the clouds,
00:22:33and ranks and squadrons and right form of war
00:22:36which drizzled blood upon the capital.
00:22:38The noise of battle hurtled in the air.
00:22:41Horses did neigh, and dying men did groan,
00:22:44and ghosts did shriek and squeal about the streets.
00:22:49Caesar, these things are beyond all use, and I do fear them.
00:22:53What can be avoided whose end is purposed by the mighty gods?
00:22:56Yet Caesar shall forth,
00:22:58for these predictions are to the world in general as to Caesar.
00:23:02When beggars die, there are no comets seen.
00:23:05The heavens themselves blaze forth the death of princes.
00:23:09Cowards die many times before their death.
00:23:12Valiant never taste of death but once.
00:23:16Of all the wonders I have yet heard,
00:23:18it seems to me most strange that men should fear,
00:23:21seeing that death, a necessary end, will come when it will come.
00:23:25Alas, my lord, your wisdom is consumed in confidence.
00:23:29Do not go forth today.
00:23:31Call it my fear that keeps you in the house and not your own.
00:23:34Let me upon my knee prevail in this.
00:23:39Marc Antony shall say I am not well,
00:23:41and for thy humor I will stay at home.
00:23:45Eustacius Brutus, he shall tell them so.
00:23:47All hail.
00:23:50Good morrow, worthy Caesar.
00:23:52I come to fetch you to the capital.
00:23:54And you are come in very happy time
00:23:56to bear my greeting to all the men and tell them I will not come.
00:24:00Cannot is false that I dare not falser.
00:24:04I will not come. Tell them, Decius.
00:24:09I will not come. Tell them so.
00:24:12Most mighty Caesar, let me know some cause,
00:24:15lest I be laughed at when I tell them so.
00:24:18The cause is in my will.
00:24:20I will not come.
00:24:23That is enough to satisfy all the men.
00:24:26But for your private satisfaction,
00:24:29because I love you, I will let you know.
00:24:32Calpurnia here, my wife, stays me at home.
00:24:36She dreamt last night she saw my statue,
00:24:39which like a fountain with an hundred spouts did run pure blood.
00:24:44Many lusty Romans came smiling and did bathe their hands in it.
00:24:50And these does she apply as warnings and portents and evils imminent.
00:24:55And on her knee hath begged that I will stay at home today.
00:25:00This dream is all a misinterpreted.
00:25:04It was a vision, fair and fortunate.
00:25:07Your statue spouting blood in many pipes
00:25:10in which so many smiling Romans bathed
00:25:13signifies that from you great Rome shall suck reviving blood
00:25:18and that great men shall press for tinctures,
00:25:21stains, relics and cognizance.
00:25:24This by Calpurnia's dream is signified.
00:25:28This way have you well expounded it.
00:25:31I have, and you have heard what I can say.
00:25:33I know it now.
00:25:35All the men have concluded to give this day a crown to mighty Caesar.
00:25:40You shall send them word you will not come.
00:25:43Words may change.
00:25:45Songs that were a mock have to be rendered.
00:25:47Someone will say,
00:25:49Break up all the men till another time
00:25:51when Caesar's wife shall meet with better hearings.
00:25:54If Caesar hide himself, shall they not whisper,
00:25:58O, Caesar is of your evil?
00:26:03Pardon me, Caesar, for my dear, dear love to your proceeding
00:26:06bids me tell you this, and reason to my love is life.
00:26:13Go, get my coat, for I will go.
00:26:16Call Antony to come.
00:26:20I am to blame to be thus waited for.
00:26:25Now, Casca, now Decius, now Brutus,
00:26:29I have an hour's talk in store for you.
00:26:32Remember that you call on me today.
00:26:35Be near me, that I may remember you.
00:26:40But, friends, go in and taste some wine with me,
00:26:43and we, like friends,
00:26:45will straightaway go together.
00:26:55The Ides of March are come.
00:26:57Ay, Caesar, but not yet gone.
00:27:03Decius knows his time.
00:27:05But look at Brutus, who draws Mark Antony out of the way.
00:27:08Casca, you were the first that knew his your name.
00:27:12Very good.
00:27:14I have a good idea.
00:27:16I have a good idea.
00:27:18I have a good idea.
00:27:20I have a good idea.
00:27:22I have a good idea.
00:27:24I have a good idea.
00:27:26I have a good idea.
00:27:28I have a good idea.
00:27:30Very good.
00:27:32Are we all ready?
00:27:37What is now amiss that Caesar and all his men must redress?
00:27:41Most high, most mighty, most poisoned Caesar,
00:27:44your servant Casca throws before thy seat a humble heart.
00:27:48I could be well moved if I were as you.
00:27:51If I could pray to move, prayers would move me.
00:27:54But I am constant as the northern star.
00:27:58Of whose true fixed and resting quality there is no fellow in the firmament.
00:28:03The skies are painted with unnumbered sparks.
00:28:06They are all fire, and every one doth shine.
00:28:09But there is but one in all doth hold his place.
00:28:14So in the world.
00:28:16It is furnished well with men.
00:28:18And men are flesh and blood and apprehensive.
00:28:22Yet in the number I do know but one that unassailable
00:28:25holds on his rank unshaked of motion.
00:28:28And that I am he.
00:28:30Is there no voice more worthy than mine own
00:28:33to sound more sweetly in great Caesar's ear
00:28:36for the repealing of my banished brother?
00:28:39I kiss thy hand.
00:28:41But not in flattery.
00:28:43Desiring thee that Publius Cimber may have immediate freedom of repeal.
00:28:47What, Brutus, speak hands for me.
00:28:55Brutus.
00:29:18Too brutal and false, Caesar.
00:29:26Liberty, freedom, tyranny is dead.
00:29:29Run hence, proclaim it about the street.
00:29:32Liberty, freedom and enfranchisement.
00:29:34Good friends, fly not. Stand still.
00:29:38Ambition's debt is paid.
00:29:40There is no harm intended to no Roman else.
00:29:43But look, here comes Mark Antony.
00:29:46Welcome, Antony.
00:29:48O mighty Caesar.
00:29:51O mighty Caesar.
00:29:54Dost thou lie so low?
00:29:56Are thy glories, triumphs and spoils
00:29:59shrunk to this little measure?
00:30:03Fare thee well.
00:30:07I will not, gentlemen.
00:30:09What do you intend?
00:30:11Who else must be let blood? Who else's rank?
00:30:14If I than myself, then there is no hour so fit as Caesar's death hour.
00:30:18The instruments of half as worth as those your swords
00:30:20made rich with the most noble blood of all the earth.
00:30:23Mark Antony.
00:30:24Pardon me, Caius Cassius.
00:30:26The enemies of Caesar shall say this,
00:30:28that in a friend it is cold modesty.
00:30:30I blame you not for praising Caesar so.
00:30:33But what compact mean you to have with us?
00:30:36Will you be break a number of our friends
00:30:38or shall we yawn and not depend on you?
00:30:41Friends I am with you all and love you all.
00:30:44Upon this hope
00:30:46you can and shall give me reasons
00:30:49why and wherein Caesar was dangerous.
00:30:52Or else this were a savage spectacle.
00:30:56Our hearts, our reasons are so full of good regard
00:31:00that were you Antony, son of Caesar, you shall be satisfied.
00:31:07I do desire no more.
00:31:09And am moreover suitor
00:31:11that I may produce his body to the marketplace.
00:31:15And there in the pulpit as becomes a friend
00:31:17speak in the order of his funeral.
00:31:19So you shall.
00:31:22Brutus, a word with you.
00:31:27Do not consent that Mark Antony speak in his funeral.
00:31:31Know you not how much the people may be moved
00:31:33by that which he will utter?
00:31:34Under your pardon, I will myself under the pulpit first
00:31:37to show the reasons of our Caesar's death.
00:31:40When Antony shall speak, I will protest he speaks
00:31:42by leave of our permission that we are content
00:31:44that Caesar shall have true rights and lawful ceremonies.
00:31:48It shall advantage us more than do us wrong.
00:31:50I know not what may fall.
00:31:52I like it not.
00:31:56Antony, here, take you Caesar's body.
00:32:01You shall in your speech not blame us
00:32:03but speak all the good you can devise of Caesar.
00:32:06And say you do it by our permission
00:32:07or you shall not have any hand at all about his funeral.
00:32:11You shall speak at the same pulpit where to I am going
00:32:14after my speech is ended.
00:32:16That's all I seek.
00:32:18Then prepare the body then and follow us.
00:32:23I will come as soon as the evening.
00:32:43Oh, pardon me, thou bleeding piece of earth,
00:32:46that I am meek and gentle with these butchers.
00:32:52that ever lived in the tide of tides,
00:32:55woe to the hand that shed this costly blood.
00:33:00Over thy wounds now do I prophesize,
00:33:03which like dumb mouths do oak their ruby lips
00:33:05to beg the voice and utterance of my tongue.
00:33:11A curse shall light upon the limbs of men.
00:33:14Domestic fury and fierce civil strife
00:33:16shall come for all parts of Rome.
00:33:20Blood and destruction shall be so in use
00:33:22and dreadful objects so familiar
00:33:24that mothers shall but smile when they behold
00:33:26their infants quartered with the hands of war.
00:33:29All pity choked with custom of fell deed.
00:33:33And Caesar's spirit raging for revenge
00:33:36with Atte by his side come hot from hell
00:33:38shall in these confines with a monarch's voice
00:33:40cry havoc and let slip the dogs of war.
00:33:44That this fell deed shall smell above the earth
00:33:47with carrion men groaning for burial.
00:33:51You bring word from Octavius, do you not?
00:33:53I do.
00:33:53Caesar did write for him to come to Rome.
00:33:55He has received his letters and is coming.
00:33:57He bade me speak to you by word of mouth.
00:34:00Oh, Caesar.
00:34:03My heart is big.
00:34:05Get thee apart and weep.
00:34:07Passion I see is catching,
00:34:08for mine eyes seeing those beads of sorrow
00:34:10stand in thine begin to water.
00:34:13There's Octavius coming.
00:34:15He is this evening seven leagues from Rome.
00:34:18Post back with speed and tell him what hath chanced.
00:34:21There is a mourning Rome, a dangerous Rome,
00:34:23no Rome of safety for Octavius yet.
00:34:26Why, Hanson, tell him so.
00:34:28Yet stay awhile.
00:34:31Thou shall not post back till I have worn this corpse
00:34:33into the marketplace.
00:34:35There shall I try in my oration
00:34:37how the people take the cruel issue of these bloody men,
00:34:41upon the which thou shalt discourse
00:34:43good Octavius of the state of things.
00:34:46Lend me your hand.
00:34:51Obey Caesar! Obey Caesar! Obey Caesar!
00:34:55Obey Caesar! Obey Caesar!
00:34:57Those that will hear me speak, let them stay here
00:35:00and let public reason be rendered of our Caesar's death.
00:35:03Silence! Let us hear Brutus speak.
00:35:04The noble Brutus is ascended.
00:35:06Silence!
00:35:08Friends, countrymen, lovers,
00:35:11hear me for my cause and be silent that you may hear.
00:35:15Believe me for my honor
00:35:17and have faith in my honor that you may believe.
00:35:21Open up your senses so that you may the better judge.
00:35:26If any be at this assembly, any dear friend of Caesar,
00:35:30to him I say Brutus's love for Caesar is no less than his.
00:35:35If then that friend should ask
00:35:36why did Brutus rise against Caesar, this is my answer.
00:35:40Not that I loved Caesar less, but that I loved Rome more.
00:35:45Would you rather Caesar were living and die all slaves
00:35:49than that Caesar were dead to live as free men?
00:35:53As Caesar loved me, I weep for him.
00:35:57As he was fortunate, I rejoiced.
00:35:59As he was valiant, I honored him.
00:36:02But as he was ambitious, I slew him.
00:36:05There are tears for his love, joy for his fortune,
00:36:10honor for his valor, but death for his ambition.
00:36:15Who here is so base that they would be a bondman?
00:36:19If any, speak, for him I have offended.
00:36:23Who here is so rude that they would not be a Roman?
00:36:27If any, speak, for him I have offended.
00:36:32Who here is so vile that they would not love their country?
00:36:37If any, speak, for him I have offended.
00:36:41I pause for reply.
00:36:49The none I have offended.
00:36:51I have done no more to Caesar than you shall do to Brutus.
00:36:55His death is enrolled in the family.
00:36:57His glory is not extenuated wherein he was worthy.
00:37:01Nor his offenses enforced for which he suffered death.
00:37:04Here comes his body, mourned by Mark Antony.
00:37:07Though who had no hand in his death
00:37:09shall receive the benefits of his dying.
00:37:12A place in the commonwealth, as which you shall not.
00:37:15âȘâȘ
00:37:25âȘâȘ
00:37:35âȘâȘ
00:37:45âȘâȘ

00:38:25âȘâȘ
00:38:35âȘâȘ
00:38:45âȘâȘ
00:38:48With this I depart.
00:38:50As I slew my greatest friend for the good of Rome,
00:38:53I shall have the same dagger for myself
00:38:55when it pleases my country to need my death.
00:38:58No! No!
00:39:00Let him be Caesar!
00:39:01Caesar's bed of pork shall be crowned in Brutus.
00:39:03My countrymen!
00:39:04Peace, silence, Brutus speaks.
00:39:06My countrymen, let me depart alone
00:39:09and stay here and do grace to Caesar's corpse
00:39:12and grace his speech, tending to all his glories,
00:39:14which Mark Antony, by our permission, is allowed to make.
00:39:18I must implore you that a man depart,
00:39:20save I alone, till Antony has spoke.
00:39:33For Brutus' sake, I am beholding to you.
00:39:36What does he say of Brutus?
00:39:37He says, for Brutus' sake,
00:39:39he finds himself beholding to us all.
00:39:41To our best, he speak no harm of Brutus here.
00:39:43This Caesar was a tyrant.
00:39:45Nay, that's certain.
00:39:46We are blessed Rome is rid of him.
00:39:48Peace, let us hear what Antony can say.
00:39:51Friends, Romans, countrymen, lend me your ears.
00:39:56I come to bury Caesar, not to praise him.
00:40:00The evil that men do lives after them.
00:40:03The good is often interred with their bones.
00:40:06So let it be with Caesar.
00:40:09The noble Brutus hath told you Caesar was ambitious,
00:40:12and if it was so, it was a grievous fault,
00:40:15and grievously hath Caesar answered it.
00:40:18Here under leave of Brutus and the rest,
00:40:20for Brutus is an honorable man,
00:40:22so are they all, all honorable men,
00:40:25come I to speak in his funeral.
00:40:31He was my friend, faithful and just to me,
00:40:37but Brutus says he was ambitious,
00:40:40and Brutus is an honorable man.
00:40:43He hath brought many captives home to Rome,
00:40:45whose ransoms did the general coffers fill.
00:40:48Was this in Caesar ambition?
00:40:51When that the poor hath cried, Caesar hath wept,
00:40:54ambition should be made of sterner stuff,
00:40:57and yet Brutus says he was ambitious,
00:41:00and Brutus is an honorable man.
00:41:03You all did see that on the ceremony,
00:41:05I thrice presented him with the kingly crown,
00:41:08which he did thrice refuse.
00:41:10Was this in Caesar ambition?
00:41:13Yet Brutus says he was ambitious,
00:41:15and sure he is an honorable man.
00:41:18I speak not to disprove what Brutus hath spoke,
00:41:21but here I am to speak what I do know,
00:41:24that you all did love him once,
00:41:27not without cause.
00:41:29What cause then withholds you to mourn for him?
00:41:32Judgment!
00:41:35Thou art fled to Brutus' feast,
00:41:38and men have lost their reason.
00:41:42Bear with me.
00:41:45My heart is on the ground there with Caesar.
00:41:48I must pause till it come back to me.
00:41:51Methinks there is much reason in his saying.
00:41:54If thou consider rightly of the matter,
00:41:56Caesar's had great wrong.
00:41:58Has he, my friends?
00:42:00I fear there will a worse come in his place.
00:42:02Mark ye his words.
00:42:04He would not take the crown,
00:42:06therefore it is certain he was not ambitious.
00:42:08If it be found so, some will dear abide it.
00:42:16Oh, but yesterday,
00:42:20the word of Caesar might have stood against the world.
00:42:25Now lies he there,
00:42:28none so poor to do him reverence.
00:42:32O masters,
00:42:35if I was so disposed
00:42:37to move your hearts and your minds
00:42:40to mutiny and rage,
00:42:42I should do Brutus wrong,
00:42:44and Cassius wrong,
00:42:46who you all know are honorable men.
00:42:49I will not do them wrong.
00:42:51I choose rather to wrong the dead,
00:42:53to wrong myself and you,
00:42:55than I wrong such honorable men.
00:43:01But here is a parchment
00:43:04with the seal of Caesar.
00:43:08I found it in his closet.
00:43:10It is his will.
00:43:13Oh, let but the commons hear this testament,
00:43:16which, pardon me, I do not mean to read.
00:43:19Then they would go and kiss dead Caesar's wounds
00:43:23and dip their napkins in his sacred blood.
00:43:26Yea, beg a hair of him for memory,
00:43:29and dying, mention him within their wills,
00:43:31bequeathing an ass rich legacy into their issue.
00:43:38Have patience, gentle friends.
00:43:41I must not read it.
00:43:43It is not meet you know how Caesar loved you.
00:43:46You are not wood, you are not stones, but men.
00:43:49And being men,
00:43:51hearing the will of Caesar, it will inflame you,
00:43:54it will make you mad.
00:43:56What is good you know not that you are his heirs,
00:43:58for if you should, what would come of it?
00:44:00Read us the will!
00:44:02Read it, Mark Antony, read us the will!
00:44:04You will compel me then to read the will,
00:44:07then make a ring about the corpse of Caesar,
00:44:10and let me show you he who made the will.
00:44:12Stay from the corpse, stay from the body.
00:44:14Room for Antony, make room for Antony.
00:44:16Yea, press not so upon me, stand far off.
00:44:19If you have tears, prepare to shed them now.
00:44:27You all do know this mantle.
00:44:29I remember the first time ever Caesar put it on.
00:44:33It was on a summer's evening in his house.
00:44:37In his house, that day he overcame the Nervi.
00:44:44Look through here round Cassius' dagger through.
00:44:48See what a writ the envious Casca made.
00:44:53Through this the well-beloved Brutus stabbed.
00:44:57And as he plucked his cursed steel away,
00:45:00mark how the blood of Caesar followed it,
00:45:03as if rushing out of doors to be resolved
00:45:05if Brutus so unkindly knocked or no,
00:45:07for Brutus, as you know, was Caesar's angel.
00:45:11Judge how Caesar loved him.
00:45:15This was the most unkindest cut of all.
00:45:20For when the noble Caesar saw him stab,
00:45:23then gratitude more strong than traitor's arms
00:45:26quite vanquished him.
00:45:29And then burst his noble heart,
00:45:32and in this mantle muffling up his face
00:45:34all the while ran blood.
00:45:36Great Caesar fell.
00:45:38And oh, what a fall was there, my countrymen!
00:45:42Then I and you and all of us fell,
00:45:44whilst bloody treason flourished over us.
00:45:50Oh, you weep now,
00:45:53and I perceive you feel the dent of pity.
00:45:56These are gracious drops.
00:45:59Kind souls, what weep you
00:46:01when you behold our Caesar's vesture wounded?
00:46:04Look you here.
00:46:05Here's himself marred, as you see, by traitors.
00:46:08Look here.
00:46:09Kill him.
00:46:10Kill him.
00:46:11Kill him.
00:46:12Kill him.
00:46:13Kill them all.
00:46:14Good friends, sweet friends,
00:46:16let me not stir you up to such a sudden flood of mutiny.
00:46:19They that have done this deed are honorable.
00:46:21What private griefs they have,
00:46:23alas, I know not that made them do it.
00:46:25They are wise and honorable,
00:46:27and with no doubt with reasons answer you.
00:46:30I come not, friends, to steal away your hearts.
00:46:33I am no orator, as Brutus is,
00:46:35but as you know me all,
00:46:37a plain, blunt man that loved my friend,
00:46:40and they that know full well who gave me public leave to speak of him.
00:46:44For I have neither wit, nor words, nor worth,
00:46:47nor action, nor utterance,
00:46:49nor the power of speech to stir men's blood.
00:46:52I only speak right on.
00:46:54I tell you that which you yourselves do know,
00:46:56but show you sweet Caesar's wounds,
00:46:58and call poor, poor dumb mouths and bid them speak for me.
00:47:01But were I Brutus, or Brutus Anthony,
00:47:04now there were an Anthony that would ruffle your spirits
00:47:07and put a tongue in every wound of Caesar,
00:47:10that would move the very stones of Rome to rise in mutiny.
00:47:13Kill him.
00:47:14Kill him.
00:47:15Kill him.
00:47:16Kill him.
00:47:17Kill him.
00:47:18You have forgotten the will I told you of.
00:47:23Here is the will, and under Caesar's sill.
00:47:26To every several man he gives,
00:47:28seven full hands of gold.
00:47:31Moreover, he hath left you all his walks,
00:47:34and private arbors, and new-planted orchards.
00:47:38Come in pleasures to walk abroad and recreate yourself.
00:47:43Here was a Caesar.
00:47:45When comes such another?
00:47:47Kill him.
00:47:48Kill him.
00:47:49Kill him.
00:47:50Kill him.
00:47:51Kill him.
00:47:52Kill him.
00:47:53Kill him.
00:47:54Kill him.
00:47:55Kill him.
00:47:56Kill him.
00:47:57Kill him.
00:47:58Kill him.
00:47:59Kill him.
00:48:00Kill him.
00:48:02Now let it work.
00:48:04Mischief, thou art afoot.
00:48:07Take thou what course thou wilt.
00:48:21What is your name?
00:48:22Where is it you're going?
00:48:24Where do you live?
00:48:25Answer every man directly.
00:48:26Aye, and briefly.
00:48:28Aye, and wisely.
00:48:29Aye, and truly you were best.
00:48:31I'm going to Caesar's funeral.
00:48:33As a friend, or an enemy?
00:48:36As a friend.
00:48:37Where do you live, briefly?
00:48:38I live by the capital.
00:48:40Your name, sir, truly.
00:48:42My name is Casca.
00:48:44Tear him to pieces. He's a conspirator.
00:48:46No, I'm a poet. I'm Casca the poet.
00:48:49It's no matter. His name's Casca.
00:48:52Pluck but his name out of his heart and turn him going.
00:48:55Tear him for his bad verses.
00:48:57I don't hear any rhymes.
00:49:14Tear him. Kill him.
00:49:22Tear him. Kill him.
00:49:24These many then shall die. Their names are pricked.
00:49:53Your brother, too, must die. Consent you, Lepidus?
00:49:59I do consent.
00:50:01Brick him down, Antony.
00:50:02Upon condition Fulvius shall not live, who is your sister's son, Mark Antony.
00:50:09He shall not live. Look, with a spot I damn him.
00:50:15Now go, you Lepidus, to Caesar's house, and fetch the will hither,
00:50:18that we may determine how to cut off some charge and legacies.
00:50:23What, shall I find you here?
00:50:26Here, or at the Capitol.
00:50:36This is a slight, unmeritable man, meek to be sent on errands.
00:50:41Is it fit the threefold world divided, he should stand one of the three to share it?
00:50:46So you thought him, and took his voice, who should be pricked to die.
00:50:50It is a creature that I teach to fight, to whine, to run directly on.
00:50:55His corporal motion governed by my spirit, in some taste is Lepidus but so.
00:51:00He must be taught, and trained, and bid go forth.
00:51:03A barren spirited fellow, one that feeds on objects, arts, and imitations,
00:51:08which out of use and stale by the men begin his fashion.
00:51:11Do not speak of him but as a property.
00:51:14Now listen, Octavius, great things.
00:51:17Brutus and Cassius are levying powers, therefore let our alliance be combined.
00:51:21Our best friends made, and our means stretched.
00:51:24Let us presently go sit in council.
00:51:27Our covert matters may be best disclosed, and open peril surest answered.
00:51:33Let us do so, for we are at the stake, and bade about with many enemies.
00:51:39Some that smile have in their hearts, I fear, millions of mischiefs.
00:51:46Millions of mischiefs.
00:51:53Most noble brother, you have done me wrong.
00:51:56Oh, judge me, you gods.
00:51:58Wrong I my enemies, and if not so, how should I wrong a brother?
00:52:01Brutus, this sober form of yours hides wrongs, and when you do then...
00:52:05Cassius, be content, speak your grief softly.
00:52:07I do know you well.
00:52:09Before the eyes of both our armies here, which should perceive nothing but love between us,
00:52:14let them move away.
00:52:15And then in my room, enlarge your grief, and I will give you audience.
00:52:19Messala, bid our commanders lead their charges off a little from this ground.
00:52:23Lucius, do you the like, and let no man into our room till we have done our conference.
00:52:27Let Lucius and Messala guard the door.
00:52:33That you have wronged me doth appear in this.
00:52:35You have condemned and noted Lucius Pella for taking bribes here at the sardines,
00:52:39where my letters, praying on his side, because I knew the man, were slighted off.
00:52:44You wronged yourself to write in such a case.
00:52:46In such a time as this, it does not mean that every nice offense should bear his comment.
00:52:50Let me tell you, Cassius, you yourself are much condemned to have an itching palm.
00:52:54You sell and march your office for gold to undeservers.
00:52:57I, an itching palm?
00:52:59Know you that you are Brutus that speaks this?
00:53:01If by the gods this speech were else your last.
00:53:03The name of Cassius honors this corruption and chastisement that therefore hides his head.
00:53:07Chastisement?
00:53:08Remember March, the Ides of March, remember?
00:53:10Did not great Julius bleed for justice's sake?
00:53:13Brutus, bait not me, I'll not endure it.
00:53:16You forget yourself to hedge me in.
00:53:18I'm a soldier, I older in practice, abler than yourself to make conditions.
00:53:23No, too Cassius, you are not.
00:53:25I am.
00:53:26And I say you are not.
00:53:27Urge me no more, I shall forget myself.
00:53:29And mind upon your health, tempt me no farther.
00:53:32A waste like man.
00:53:33Impossible.
00:53:34You shall hear me, for I will speak.
00:53:36Must I give way and room to your rash collar?
00:53:39Shall I be frightened when a madman stares?
00:53:42O ye gods, ye gods, must I endure all this?
00:53:44Aye, all this and more.
00:53:45Fret to your proud heartbreaks.
00:53:47Go show your slaves how coward you are.
00:53:49Go make your bondmen tremble.
00:53:51Must I budge?
00:53:52Must I observe you?
00:53:53Shall I stand and crouch at your testy humor?
00:53:56By the gods, you shall digest the venom of your spleen, don't you?
00:53:59Splinter you.
00:54:00From this day forth, you shall be used for my murder.
00:54:03No, by laughing when you are waspish.
00:54:07Has it come to this?
00:54:10You say you are a better soldier than lent it appear so.
00:54:13Make your bargain true, it shall please me well.
00:54:16For my part, I'd be glad to learn of noble men.
00:54:18You wrong me, Brutus.
00:54:20You wrong me every way.
00:54:22I said an elder soldier, not a better.
00:54:24Did I say better?
00:54:26You did, I care not.
00:54:27When Caesar lived, he durst not thus have moved me.
00:54:30Do not presume too much upon my love.
00:54:32I may do that, I shall be sorry for.
00:54:34You have done that, which you shall be sorry for.
00:54:36There is no terror, Cassius, in your threats.
00:54:39For I am armed so strong with honesty,
00:54:41it passed by me as idle wind, which I respect not.
00:54:44I did send you for a certain sum of gold, which you denied me.
00:54:48For I can raise no money by vile means.
00:54:51I'd rather coin my heart and drop my blood for pennies
00:54:54than wring from the hard-hand peasants their vile trash by any indirection.
00:54:58I did send for you for a certain sum of gold to pay my allegiance, which you denied me.
00:55:03Was that then like Cassius?
00:55:05Should I have answered Caius Cassius so?
00:55:07Would Marcus Brutus grove so covenants to lock such rascal means from his friends,
00:55:12be ready gods with all your thunderbolts and dash him to pieces?
00:55:15I denied you not.
00:55:16You did.
00:55:17I did not.
00:55:18He was but a fool that brought my answer back.
00:55:21For Brutus hath writhed my heart.
00:55:23A friend should bear his friends' infirmities,
00:55:25but Brutus makes mine greater than they are.
00:55:27I do not, till you practice them on me.
00:55:30I do not like your faults.
00:55:32A friendly eye can never see such faults.
00:55:34A flatterer would not, though they would appear as huge as high Olympus.
00:55:38Come, Antony, and your Octavius, come.
00:55:41Revenge yourselves alone on Cassius,
00:55:43for Cassius is a weary of the world,
00:55:45hated by one he loves,
00:55:47braved by his brother,
00:55:48checked like a bondman,
00:55:50all his faults observed, set in a notebook,
00:55:53conned by rope to cast into my teeth.
00:55:56Here is my dagger,
00:55:58and here my naked breast,
00:56:01within a heart richer than Pluto's mine,
00:56:04dearer than gold.
00:56:05If that thou be'st to Roman,
00:56:07take it forth,
00:56:08strike as thou didst at Caesar.
00:56:10For I know when thou didst hate him worst,
00:56:12thou lovest him better than thou ever lovest Cassius.
00:56:19Keep thy dagger, Cassius.
00:56:21Be angry when you will.
00:56:23It shall have scope.
00:56:25O Cassius, you are yoked with the lamb
00:56:27who carries anger as a flint bears fire,
00:56:31who, much enforced, shows a hasty spark
00:56:34and straight is cold again.
00:56:38Hath Cassius lived to be but mirth and laughter to his Brutus,
00:56:41when grief and blood ill-tempered vexeth him?
00:56:45When I spoke that, I was ill-tempered too.
00:56:49Do you confess so much?
00:56:51Give me your hand.
00:56:52And my heart.
00:56:53O Brutus.
00:56:54What's the matter, Cassius?
00:56:55Have you not love enough to bear with me
00:56:57when that rash humor which my mother gave me
00:56:59makes me forgetful?
00:57:02Yes, Cassius, and from this day forth,
00:57:04when you are over earnest with your Brutus,
00:57:06you'll think your mother chides and leave you so.
00:57:10Lucius, a flask of wine.
00:57:15I did not think you could have been so angry.
00:57:17O Cassius, I am a man sick of many grieves.
00:57:22Well, of your philosophy you make no use
00:57:24if you give place to accidental evils.
00:57:27No man bears sorrow better.
00:57:30Portia is dead.
00:57:32Huh?
00:57:34Portia?
00:57:35She is dead.
00:57:36How escaped thy killing when I crossed you so?
00:57:39O insupportable and touching loss!
00:57:42Upon what sickness?
00:57:44In patience of my absence.
00:57:47And the grief that Octavius and young Mark Anthony
00:57:49have grown so strong.
00:57:52With their death this tiding came.
00:57:56And thus she felt distracted.
00:57:58Her attendance absent swallowed fire.
00:58:02And died so?
00:58:03Even so.
00:58:04O ye immortal gods!
00:58:07Speak no more of her.
00:58:11Let us drink some wine.
00:58:14With this I bury all unkindness, Cassius.
00:58:18My heart is thirsty for that noble pledge.
00:58:21Fill Brutus till the wine o'erswell the cup.
00:58:23I cannot drink too much of Brutus's love.
00:58:26Your heart's grief takes him part of mine.
00:58:32Now, call into question our necessities.
00:58:37Portia, let them go on.
00:58:40No more, I pray you.
00:58:44I have received letters that Octavius and young Mark Anthony
00:58:48come down upon us with a mighty power
00:58:50bending their expedition towards Philippi.
00:58:53Myself have letters of the selfsame tenure.
00:58:55With what additions?
00:58:57That by prescription and bills of outlawry
00:59:00Anthony, Octavius and Lepidus
00:59:03have put to death great numbers of our men.
00:59:08To our work alive.
00:59:10What do you think about bending our expedition towards Philippi?
00:59:13I do not think it good.
00:59:14Your reason?
00:59:15This it is.
00:59:17It is better that the enemy seek us.
00:59:19So shall he waste his means.
00:59:21Weary as soldiers, doing himself offense.
00:59:24Whilst we, lying still, are full of rest, defense and nimbleness.
00:59:30Good reason must, of course, give place to better.
00:59:33The people between this ground and Philippi
00:59:36do stand but in forced affection
00:59:38for they have grudged us contribution.
00:59:40The enemy, marching long by them,
00:59:42by then make a fuller number up.
00:59:44Come on, refresh.
00:59:45New added and encouraged.
00:59:47From which advantage we shall cut them from
00:59:49if we do face him at Philippi,
00:59:51these people at our backs.
00:59:53Hear me, good brother.
00:59:54I can do your pardon.
00:59:55You must note beside
00:59:57that our legions are brimful.
00:59:59Our cause is ripe.
01:00:00The enemy increases in strength every day.
01:00:02We at the height are ready to decline.
01:00:05There is a certain tide in the affairs of men
01:00:08which taken at the flood leaves on into fortune.
01:00:11On such high seas we are now afloat.
01:00:13We must take the current when it serves
01:00:15or lose our ventures.
01:00:17Then with your will go on.
01:00:20Will along ourselves and meet them at Philippi.
01:00:23Noble, noble Cassius.
01:00:25Good night and good repose.
01:00:28Oh, my dear brother.
01:00:30This was an ill beginning of the night.
01:00:32Never come such division between our souls
01:00:35that it not brewed us.
01:00:37Everything is well.
01:00:39Good night, brother.
01:00:40Good night, good brother.
01:00:43Good night.
01:00:58Here's that book you sought for.
01:01:00Let me see.
01:01:04Let me see.
01:01:06Oh, here it is.
01:01:10How ill this cable burns.
01:01:13Who goes there?
01:01:18I think it's the weakness of my eyes
01:01:20that shaped this monstrous apparition.
01:01:26What art thou?
01:01:28Art thou some god, some angel or some devil
01:01:33that maketh my hair stare and my blood run cold?
01:01:38Speak to me.
01:01:39What art thou?
01:01:41Thy evil spirit, Brutus.
01:01:43Why comest thou?
01:01:45To tell thee thou shalt see me at Philippi.
01:01:49Then I will see thee again.
01:01:51Ay, at Philippi.
01:01:54Why will I see thee at Philippi?
01:01:57Now that I have taken heart, thou banished ill spirit.
01:02:00I would hold more talk with thee.
01:02:06Lucius.
01:02:07Lucius.
01:02:10Sir, this doth see anything.
01:02:15Go command me to my brother Cassius.
01:02:17Tell him to bid his powers before, and I will follow.
01:02:21Shall be done.
01:02:30Words before blows, is it so, countrymen?
01:02:32Not that we love words better, as you do.
01:02:35Good words are better than bad strokes, Octavius.
01:02:37You're bad strokes, Brutus. You give good words.
01:02:40Witness the hole you made in Caesar's heart,
01:02:42crying, Hail, long live Caesar.
01:02:44Dylons, you did not sow when your vile daggers
01:02:47hacked one another the size of Caesar.
01:02:49You showed your teeth like apes and fawned like hounds,
01:02:52and bowed like bondmen, hissing Caesar's feet.
01:02:54Those damned casket like a curse struck from behind.
01:02:57You flatterers.
01:02:58Flatterers?
01:02:59Now, Brutus, thank yourself.
01:03:01This tongue would not have offended so today
01:03:03if Cassius might have ruled.
01:03:04Oh, come, come, the cause.
01:03:06If arguing make us sweat, the proof of it
01:03:08will turn to redder drops.
01:03:10Look, I draw a blade against conspirators.
01:03:13Wouldn't think you the blade go up again.
01:03:16Never, till Caesar's three and thirty wounds
01:03:18be well avenged, or till another Caesar
01:03:20has added slaughter to the sword of traitors.
01:03:23Caesar?
01:03:24Thou cannot die by traitor's hand
01:03:26unless thy brings them with thee.
01:03:28So I hope.
01:03:29I was not born to die on Brutus's sword.
01:03:32Oh, if thou were the noblest of thy strength,
01:03:35thy couldn't die more honorable.
01:03:37Defiance!
01:03:38Traitors!
01:03:39Hurl we in your teeth.
01:03:41If you dare fight today, come to the field.
01:03:44If not, will you have stonks?
01:04:02Fire!
01:04:32Fire!
01:05:02Fire!
01:05:03Fire!
01:05:04Fire!
01:05:05Fire!
01:05:06Fire!
01:05:07Fire!
01:05:08Fire!
01:05:09Fire!
01:05:10Fire!
01:05:11Fire!

01:06:59They killed V!
01:07:05Come, poor remains of friend.
01:07:07Rest with me, now.
01:07:09The ghost of Caesar has appeared to me too several times by night.
01:07:13At Sawdist wanton this last night here in Phillip High Fields.
01:07:17I know my hour is come.
01:07:19Not so, my lord.
01:07:21Nay, I am sure of it.
01:07:22Thou see'st the world from just how it goes.
01:07:24Our enemies have beat us to the pit.
01:07:27It is more worthy to leap in ourselves than tarry till they push us.
01:07:31Good Lucius, thou knowest all the time we have spent together.
01:07:36I pray thee, holst out my dagger whilst I run on it.
01:07:40That's not an office for a friend, my lord.
01:07:43Go, go.
01:07:44Go, I will follow.
01:07:48My heart's a joy.
01:07:50And in all my life I found no man but he was true to me.
01:07:54I shall have glory by this losing day, more than Octavius and Mark Antony by their vile
01:07:59quest shall obtain.
01:08:02For Brutus's tongue has almost ended his life's history.
01:08:06The night hangs upon mine eyes.
01:08:09My bones would rest in labor to obtain this hour.
01:08:14Come, Brutus, come.
01:08:15Go, I will follow.
01:08:20Caesar, now be still.
01:08:25I kill not thee with half so good a will.
01:08:45This was the noblest Roman of them all.
01:08:48All the conspirators, save only he, did that they did in envy of great Caesar.
01:08:54He only in a general honest thought and common good to all made one of them.
01:09:00His life was gentle.
01:09:02The elements so mixed in him that nature might stand up and say to all the world, this was
01:09:07a man.
01:09:09According to his virtue, let us use him.
01:09:13With all respect and rights of burial, tonight within my tent his bones shall lie, most like
01:09:22a soldier.
01:09:23Ordered honorably.
01:09:27So call the field to rest and let's away to part the glories of this happy day.
01:09:53So call the field to rest and let's away to part the glories of this happy day.

01:10:53So call the field to rest and let's away to part the glories of this happy day.
01:11:23So call the field to rest and let's away to part the glories of this happy day.
01:11:53So call the field to rest and let's away to part the glories of this happy day.
01:12:23So call the field to rest.
