Gladiator2000

Commodus:
"Maximus! Maximus! Maximus!" They call for you. The general who became a slave. The slave who became a gladiator. The gladiator who defied an emperor. Striking story! Now the people want to know how the story ends. Only a famous death will do. And what could be more glorious than to challenge the Emperor himself in the great arena?

Maximus:
You would fight me?

Commodus:
Why not? Do you think I am afraid?

Maximus:
I think you've been afraid all your life.

Commodus:
Unlike Maximus the invincible, who knows no fear?

Maximus:
I knew a man once who said, 'Death smiles at us all. All that man can do is smile back.'

Commodus:
I wonder, did your friend smile at his own death?

Maximus:
You must know. He was your father.

Commodus:
You loved my father, I know. But so did I. That makes us brothers, doesn't it? Smile for me now, brother! [stabs Maximus in the side, then turns to Quintius] Strap on his armour. Conceal the wound.
