Quotes 

• Atticus : For those of us about to die, we salute you. I die a free man!

• Atticus : What is your name? We will have to speak at some point.

  Milo : No, we don't. What we have to do is kill each other at some point. So my name's my own, I have no interest in learning yours.

• Atticus : You are right, brother. Everything they promised - nothing but lies.

• Milo : This isn't a battle. This is a massacre.

  Atticus : How do you know?

  Milo : Because I was there.

• Proculus : [haughtily as he stabs Atticus]  A Gladiator cannot/can never be equal to a Roman

  Atticus : [breaks blade and drags Proculus' head down onto it]  Then let's see if a Roman can die the equal to a Gladiator

  Proculus : [as the broken blade hits his jaw]  Wait... Please

  Atticus : [stabs him]  Gladiators... DO... NOT... BEG!

• Milo : Why did you save my life?

  Atticus : No gladiator should die from a blade to the back. When you die it should be to the front and it will come from my hand.

  Milo : Well, I can make you a better promise: When you die, it will be quick and it will come from my hand.

• Atticus : It is the gods. They have a plan for us all.

  Milo : Perhaps. I saw the man who killed my family. Perhaps the gods spared me for a reason.

• Atticus : Now who's the poor bastard who has to die for my freedom?

• Milo : You trust them to keep their word?

  Atticus : I trust the law.
