Spartacus (1960)

Peter Brocco: Ramon

Quotes 

• Ramon : We have visitors. Tremendous visitors! Two simply enormous Roman lords on the hill.

  Batiatus : How easily impressed you are, Ramon. Just 'cause they're Romans, I suppose they're enormous. Tell them to wait for me when they arrive.

  Ramon : Master, you don't understand!

  Batiatus : How enormous do these Roman lords get?

  Ramon : One of them is Marcus Licinius Crassus.

  Batiatus : What? Wait a minute. Crassus here? Varinia, my red toga with the acorns. And some chairs in the atrium. Second-best wine. No, the best, but small goblets.

  [Notices a head-bust] 

  Batiatus : Gracchus! You know how Crassus loathes him. Take him away.

  Ramon : I can't lift it.

  Batiatus : Use your imagination! Cover him. Tell Marcellus to get the men ready. Crassus has expensive taste. He'll want a show of some sort.

  [to the head-bust] 

  Batiatus : Forgive me, Gracchus.
