A Touch of Murder (1976)

George Baker: Tiberius

Quotes 

• [on Marcellus] 

  Tiberius : Frankly, I wouldn't have thought you'd care whether he lived or died.

  Livia : Oh I care very much whether he lives or dies.

• [on Livia's plan to have Tiberius marry Julia] 

  Tiberius : Anyway, where does all this get us? There's not only Marcellus, there's Agrippa too. And Augustus prefers both of them to me.

  Julia : [Screams off stage]  No, *no*.

  Tiberius : Ye gods, what's that?

  Livia : It sounds as though there is now only Agrippa.

• Livia : Tell me, what do you think of Julia?

  Tiberius : Nothing. Why?

  Livia : Nobody could accuse you of being devious. She thinks very well of you.

  Tiberius : What's that supposed to mean.

  Livia : Nothing. She likes you, that's all. Always has.

  Tiberius : Mother, I'm a happily married man. Julia doesn't interest me. She wouldn't interest me even if you hung her naked from the ceiling above my bed.

  Livia : She might even do that if I asked her.
