Reg: "We need doers in our movement, Brian. But, before you join us, know this. There is not one of us who would not gladly suffer death to rid this country of the Romans once and for all."
Man: "Uh, well one."
Reg: "Ah, yeah there's one. But otherwise, we're solid! Are you with us?"

Reg: "They've bled us white, the bastards. They've taken everything we had, and not just from us, from our fathers, and from our fathers' fathers."
Loretta: "And from our fathers' fathers' fathers."
Reg: "Yeah."
Loretta: "And from our fathers' fathers' fathers' fathers."
Reg: "All right Stan, don't labor the point. And what have they ever given us in return?!"
Brian: "The aqueduct?"
Reg: "What?"
Brian: "The aqueduct?"
Reg: "Oh, yeah yeah they did give us that. That's true."
Terrorist: "And sanitation."
Loretta: "Oh yeah, the sanitation Reg. Remember what the city used to be like."
Reg: "Alright, I'll grant you the aqueduct and the sanitation. The two things the Roman's have done."
Terrorist: "And the roads!"
Reg: "Well obviously the roads. I mean, the roads go without saying, don't they. But apart from the sanitation, the aqueduct and the roads..."
Terrorist: "Irrigation?"
Terrorist: "Medicine?"
Terrorist: "Education?"
Reg: "All right, fair enough."
Terrorist: "And the wine?"
Francis: "Yeah, that's something we'd really miss Reg, if the Romans left."
Terrorist: "Public baths?"
Loretta: "And it's safe to walk on the streets at night now, Reg."
Francis: "Yeah they certainly like to keep order. Let's face it. They're the only ones who could in a place like this."
Reg: "All right, but apart from the sanitation, the medicine, education, wine, public order, irrigation, roads, a fresh water system, and public health, what have the Romans ever done for us?"
Brian: "Brought peace?"
Reg: "Oh peace? Shut up!"
