Quotes

[on Livia's plan to have Tiberius marry Julia]
Tiberius : Anyway, where does all this get us? There's not only Marcellus, there's Agrippa too. And Augustus prefers both of them to me.
Julia : [Screams off stage] No, *no*.
Tiberius : Ye gods, what's that?
Livia : It sounds as though there is now only Agrippa.

Livia : Tell me, what do you think of Julia?
Tiberius : Nothing. Why?
Livia : Nobody could accuse you of being devious. She thinks very well of you.
Tiberius : What's that supposed to mean.
Livia : Nothing. She likes you, that's all. Always has.
Tiberius : Mother, I'm a happily married man. Julia doesn't interest me. She wouldn't interest me even if you hung her naked from the ceiling above my bed.
Livia : She might even do that if I asked her.
