• [On Caesar and Servilia's affair] 

  Gaius Octavian : Calm yourself, mother. You're over-reacting. Who cares who he beds, it is trivial.

  Atia of the Julii : You take after your father, simple as milk - and it isn't "trivial", if Caesar were not in bed with that witch he'd be chasing down Pompey - they republic is at stake!

  Gaius Octavian : Since when do *you* care about the republic?

  Atia of the Julii : I care *deeply* about the republic.

  Gaius Octavian : It would not be wise to interfere with this...

  Atia of the Julii : Of course! It doesn't matter away; affairs like these tend to ruin themselves anyway.
