[On Caesar and Servilia's affair]
Gaius Octavian : Calm yourself, mother. You're over-reacting. Who cares who he beds, it is trivial.
Atia of the Julii : You take after your father, simple as milk - and it isn't "trivial", if Caesar were not in bed with that witch he'd be chasing down Pompey - they republic is at stake!
Gaius Octavian : Since when do *you* care about the republic?
Atia of the Julii : I care *deeply* about the republic.
Gaius Octavian : It would not be wise to interfere with this...
Atia of the Julii : Of course! It doesn't matter away; affairs like these tend to ruin themselves anyway.
