Movie: Gladiator (Gladiator) (2000). Page 1

My name is Maximus Decius Meridi. The commander of the Northern armies, General of the Felix Legion. A loyal servant to the true Emperor Marcus Aurelius. Father to a murdered son, husband to a murdered wife, and I will avenge them, in this life or the next!

Is Rome worth his life? He believed it's worth it! Give us this faith! He was a soldier of Rome. Honor it.

You're famous. Before to kill you, he has to destroy your reputation.

Each is as much as he can bear.

- What do you say?
Son I will see you again. To delayed heel when riding a horse. Wife... are no concern of yours.

Win the crowd and you will win freedom.

We'll see you... but not now.

Maximus, Maximus, Maximus... They call you - the General who became a slave, slave who became a Gladiator, Gladiator who defied the Emperor. Amazing story. To crown it can only be death.

Wash away dirt a lot easier than blood.

- How long you've been home, Maximus?
Two years, 264 days and this morning.

What we do in life echoes in eternity.

- There's no one left to fight.
- There is always someone to fight.
(We all won, Governor.
- Enemies can always be found.)

Rome is the mob. And his heart beats not the marble of the Senate, but the sand of the Colosseum.
(The heart of Rome is not the marble of the Senate, it is sand of the Coliseum.)

- How can I reward the best generals of Rome?
- Let me go home.
