Quotes 

• [In his cell, awaiting execution, Pullo catches a single cockroach and holds it up to the sky] 

  Titus Pullo : Janus, Gaia and Dis, I humbly beg you accept this creature as my offering, and if it pleases you, I ask you to give Eirene long life... and same for my friend Lucius Vorenus and his family, if it's not too much. And let Eirene know, I'm sorry for what I did.

  [crushes the cockroach] 

• Titus Pullo : Don't you talk the thirteenth!

• [Marched into the arena, Pullo tosses down his sword and sits on the sand. The crowd boos] 

  Gladiator #1 : Stand up and fight!

  Titus Pullo : I don't want to.

  Gladiator #1 : That's not how it works. You're supposed to resist.

  Titus Pullo : Not if I don't want to. I just want to die, all right? So go ahead and kill me and be done with it.

  Gladiator #2 : Bollocks!

  [pokes Pullo with his spear] 

  Gladiator #2 : Move!

  Gladiator #1 : What's wrong with you? Where's your dignity?

  [No response] 

  Gladiator #2 : Hey, soldier, wake up! Why don't you come here and suck my cock?

  [No response] 

  Gladiator #1 : Look, just hold your sword. Just stand up and hold it, that's all, you don't have to run about or anything.

  Gladiator #2 : You're naught but a bloody molly! You and the whole Thirteenth! Naught but bloody mollys!

  Titus Pullo : [looks up]  Don't talk the Thirteenth.

  Gladiator #2 : Eh?

  [laughs] 

  Gladiator #2 : I piss on the Thirteenth!

  Gladiator #1 : [laughing]  Pigspawn, all of them.

  [Picking up on the theme, the crowd laughs derisively] 

  Gladiator #2 : Why don't you and the whole Thirteenth all line up and suck my...?

  [Pullo grabs his spear and goes berserk]
