Quotes 

• Elizabeth : How is Mr. Julius Caesar going?

  William Hundert : Very - Very well. Even, uh, Sedgwick Bell.

  Elizabeth : Making progress?

  William Hundert : Oh, more than progress. He's-He's come out of the darkness into the light. It's-...

  [They both sit] 

  William Hundert : Cheers.

• William Hundert : What'd you think of Athens?

  Elizabeth : Oh, I loved it.

  William Hundert : I knew you would.

  Elizabeth : Tony hated it. But, you know the British. Too many Greeks.

  William Hundert : Tony's Tony.

  Elizabeth : [hands a small gift to Hundert]  Here. I told the man in the store that I wanted something from a very serious scholar of antiquity.

  William Hundert : [Hundert unwraps the gift that reveals to be a water globe. He laughs]  The Parthenon. It's smaller than I remembered it.

  [Elizabeth laughs] 

• Elizabeth : [about Sedgwick]  He's the son of Hyram Bell. The senior senator from West Virginia.

  William Hundert : Well, whoever the father is, the son is a bit of a Visigoth, I'm afraid.

  Elizabeth : Is he that bad?

  William Hundert : I don't think so. It's just new school bravado. That's all. He'll be fine.

• William Hundert : [about the waterglobe]  I don't have one of these. Thank you.

  Elizabeth : I found it in the Agora. Tony couldn't understand why I wanted to go there for lunch. It's a little touristy now but I kept hearing your voice in my head and I kept saying it exactly the way you described it with Socrates teaching right in front of me and, there was Tony. Falling asleep from the heat and ouzo and me eating my shishkabob. I thought about you a lot. I wish you were there.

  William Hundert : It would've been a lot, though with you and me and Socrates and your sleeping husband?

  Elizabeth : Yeah. A little.

• Elizabeth : William, James Ellerby's on the phone.
