You serve Octavius right?
 * __Brutus__**- I will go to the pulpit and tell why Caesar's death happened. I will allow anthony to speak and tell him what to say. Caesar will have the proper burial and the cermenoy he deserves. Anthony speech will do us more good than harm.
 * __Cassius__-** I know what might happen and I don't like it.
 * __Brutus-__** Anthony take Caesar's body away. In your speech you will not blame us. Instead you will speak of all the good that Caesar has done that you can think of. And say you do it by our permission. You will not help at the funeral at all. You will speak at the same pulpit where i speak but only after I am done giving my speech.
 * __Anthony-__** Excuse me Caesar for talking to those fools. Caesar your were once the noblest man that ever lived. Shame will be brought to the hand that killed you. Over your dead body i will prophesise. Bad things will happen to all men. Their will be a civil war in Rome. Blood and destruction will be so familiar. Women will smile and laugh at their own kids being slaughter and cut up. Caesars spirit will come back for revenge with Ate on his side. Caesar will cry Havoc to signal mass killing. The earth will have so much torture and death people will be begging to die.

 * Scene 2**
 * Citizens: ** We will be very pleased! Let us be very pleased!
 * Brutus:** Quiet! We’re going to tell you our reasons for killing Caesar. Cassius, you take the other half and tell them.
 * First Citizen:** Ok Brutus, tell us.
 * Second Citizen:** I’ll go with Cassius and then I’ll compare his reasons to Brutus’s.
 * Third Citizen:** Shut up! Brutus is about to talk.
 * Brutus:** No comments until I’m finished. Caesar was a good friend of mine, but he changed. I know you think what I did was bad but just listen and you’ll understand. I love Rome way more than Caesar ever did. Rome would suck if Caesar was still here. His death was for the best of Rome. If I’ve offended any of you, please speak.
 * All:** Keep going!
 * Brutus:** Since I haven’t offended anyone, let me continue. You would do the same thing to me. His glory will not be unknown. It is what it is. I just wanted to let you know that I killed my best friend for all of you.
 * All:** Yay Brutus!
 * First Citizen:** Give him a proper burial.
 * Second Citizen:** We should build him a statue.
 * Third Citizen:** So we can honor him.
 * Fourth Citizen:** Caesars power should be given to Brutus.
 * First Citizen:** Let’s celebrate.
 * Brutus:** Hold up.
 * Second Citizen:** Shut up! Let him talk
 * First Citizen:** Listen.
 * Brutus:** Let me leave by myself and you all stay with Antony. Listen to Antony respectfully while he speaks respectively of Caesar.
 * First Citizen:** Alright guys, listen to Antony.
 * Third Citizen:** Go to the stage Antony.
 * Antony:** For Brutus's sake, I am indebted to you.
 * Fourth Citizen:** What does he say about Brutus?
 * Third Citizen:** He says for Brutus’s sake, he finds himself talking to us.
 * Fourth Citizen:** He better not speak badly of Brutus here!
 * First Citizen:** Caesar was a tyrant.
 * Third Citizen:** That’s for sure. We’re glad that he’s not in Rome anymore.
 * Second Citizen:** Quiet! Lets here what Antony has to say.
 * Antony:** Your gentle Romans-
 * All:** Shut up! Let us hear him!
 * Antony:** Friends, Romans, countrymen, give me your attention. I have come here to bury Caesar, not to praise him. The evil that men do is remembered after their deaths, but the good is often buried with them. It might as well be the same with Caesar. The noble Brutus told you that Caesar was ambitious. If that's true Caesar has been killed for it. With the permission of Brutus and the others - because Brutus is an honorable man; they are all honorable men - I have come here to speak at Caesar's funeral. He was a friend of mine, he was faithful and just to me. But Brutus says he was ambitious, and Brutus is an honorable man. He brought many captives home to Rome whose ransoms brought wealth to the city. Is this the work of an ambitious man? When the poor cried, Caesar cried too. Ambition shouldn't be so soft. You all saw that on the Lupercal feast day I offered him a king's crown three times, and he refused it three times. Was this ambition? I am not here to disprove what Brutus has said, but to say what //I// know. You all loved him once, and not without reason. Then what reason holds you back from mourning him now? Men have become brutish beasts and lost their reason! Bear with me. My heart is in the coffin there with Caesar, and I must pause until it returns to me.
 * First Citizen:** I think there’s a lot of reason in what he says.
 * Second Citizen**: If you think about it, Caesar has suffered a great wrong.
 * Third Citizen:** Has he? I’m afraid someone worse will take his place.
 * Fourth Citizen:** Did you hear his words? He would not take the crown; Therefore its certain he was not ambitious.
 * First Citizen:** If it turns out like that, some will pay dearly for it.
 * Second Citizen**: Poor man! His eyes are red as fire from crying.
 * Third Citizen:** No other man in Rome is as noble as Antony.
 * Fourth Citizen:** Listen, he’s about to start talking again.
 * Antony:** Only yesterday Caesars word might have stood against the world. Now he lies there, and no one’s showing him respect. if I stirred your hearts and minds to mutiny and rage, I would offend Brutus and Cassius, who, you all know, are honorable men. I will not do them wrong. I would rather wrong the dead, and wrong myself and you, than wrong such honorable men. But here is a document with Caesars seal on it. I found it in his closet, it’s his will. If you could only hear this testament, which I’m not going to read, you all you would go and kiss Caesars wounds and dip your napkins in his sacred blood. You would beg for hair to remember him. And when they die, people will leave it in their wills for their children.
 * Fourth Citizen:** Read the will Antony.
 * __Antonio__**- Have patience, kind friends, I can't read it. It is not proper for me to read it, you know how much Caeser loved you. You feel; so hear the will of Caeser, you know, you all are his heirs. If you were to read this, bad thinks would happen.
 * __Fourth Citizen__**- Read Caeser's will!
 * __Antony__**- Can't you be patient? Won't you wait? I have gone too far in even mentioning it to you. I have done wrong to Caeser.
 * __Fourth Citizen__**- They were honorable men, now traitors!
 * __All__**- Read Caeser's will!
 * __Second Citizen__**- They are murderers, read his will!
 * __Antony__**- You will force me to read the will? Circle Caesers body, let me show you Caeser through his will. WIll you give me permission to come down?
 * __All__**- Come down.
 * __Second Citizen__**- Come down.
 * __Third Citizen__-** You have permission.
 * __Fourth Citizen__**- Get in a cirle!
 * __First Citizen__**- Stand around the body.
 * __Second Citizen__**- Make room for Antony.
 * __Antony__**- No, back off, your too close.
 * __All__**- Back off!
 * __Antony__**- If you have fellings, prepare to cry. I remember when Caeser first dressed in his toga. The night he was in his tent and defeated the Nervii. Cassius shredded, brutalated, and anialated Caeser with his own knife. Look at what that jealous Casca did! Our so called friend Brutus stabbed him, as he pulled the dagger out, Caeser's blood covered it. Curse Brutus! Caser loved him so much. This was the most unkind act ever known. When Caeser saw that it was Brutus stabbing him, it killed him inside, his heart burst. Stabbed to death Caeser bled through his toga, and he fell to the ground. When Caeser fell, we all fell. His soul and spirit will make you regret these actions. No pity will be shown for the one's who did this. You wheep because you see the blood on his toga, but look, look at his body!

pg 140 - 143
 * __Brutus:__**We'll soon find out what fate has in store for us. All we know is that we'll die sometime, which is all anyone ever knows, though we try to draw out our days for as long as possible.
 * __Cassius:__** Why, the man who shortens his life by twenty years cuts off twenty years of worrying about death.
 * __Brutus:__** So, then, death is a gift, and we are Caesar's friends, for we've done him a service by shortening his time spent fearing death. Kneel, Romans, kneel, and let's wash our hands, up to the elbows, in Caesar's blood and smear it on our swords. Then we'll go out, even to the marketplace, and, waving our bloody swords over our heads, let's cry, “Peace, freedom, and liberty!”
 * __Cassius:__** kneel then, and wash. How many years from now will this heroic scene be reenacted in countries that don't even exist yet and in languages not yet known!
 * __Brutus:__** How many times will Caesar bleed again in show, though he now lies at the base of Pompey's statue, as worthless as dust!
 * __Cassius:__** As often as it's replayed, our group will be hailed as the men who gave their country liberty.
 * __Decius:__** Well, should go out?
 * __Cassius:__** Yes, every man forward. Brutus will lead, and we'll follow him with the boldest and best hearts of Rome.
 * __Brutus:__** Wait a minute. Who's that coming? It's a friend of Antony's.
 * __Servant__** Brutus, my master ordered me to kneel like this. He ordered me to kneel low, and, from the ground, like this, he ordered me to say: “Brutus is noble, wise, brave, and honest. Caesar was mighty, bold, royal, and loving. Antony loves Brutus and honors him. Antony feared Caesar, honored him, and loved him. If Brutus will swear that Antony may come to him safely and be convinced that Caesar deserved to be killed, Mark Antony will love dead Caesar not nearly as much as living Brutus, and with true faith he'll follow the destiny and affairs of noble Brutus through the difficulties of this unprecedented state of affairs.” That's what my master, Antony, says.
 * __Brutus:__** Your master is a wise and honorable Roman. I never thought any less of him. Tell him, if he comes here, I'll explain everything to him and, on my word, he'll leave unharmed.
 * __Servant:__** I'll get him now.
 * __Brutus:__** I know that he'll be on our side.
 * __Cassius:__** I hope we can count on him, but I still fear him, and my hunches are usually accurate.
 * __Brutus__**: But here comes Antony.—Welcome, Mark Antony
 * __Antony__**: Oh, mighty Caesar! Do you lie so low? Have all your conquests, glories, triumphs, achievements, come to so little? Farewell. Gentlemen, I don't know what you intend to do, who else you intend to kill, who else you consider corrupt. If it's me, there's no time as good as this hour of Caesar's death, and no weapon better than your swords, covered with the noblest blood in the world. I ask you, if you have a grudge against me, to kill me now, while your stained hands still reek of blood. I could live a thousand years and I wouldn't be as ready to die as I am now. There's no place I'd rather die than here by Caesar, and no manner of death would please me more than being stabbed by you, the masters of this new era.
 * __Brutus:__** Oh, Antony, don't beg us to kill you. Though we seem bloody and cruel right now, with our bloody hands and this deed we've done, you've only seen our hands and their bloody business; you haven't looked into our hearts. They are full of pity for Caesar. But a stronger pity, for the wrongs committed against Rome, drove out our pity for Caesar, as fire drives out fire, and so we killed him. For you, our swords have blunt edges, too dull to harm you, Mark Antony. Our arms, which can be strong and cruel, and our hearts, filled with brotherly love, embrace you with kind love, good thoughts, and reverence.
 * __Cassius:__** Your vote will be as strong as anyone's in the reordering of the government
 * __Brutus:__**But just be patient until we've calmed the masses, who are beside themselves with fear. Then we'll explain to you why I, who loved Caesar even while I stabbed him, have taken this course of action.
 * __Antony:__** I don't doubt your wisdom. Each of you, give me your bloody hand.First, Marcus Brutus, I shake your hand. Next, Caius Cassius, I take your hand. Now, Decius Brutus, yours. Now yours, Metellus. Yours, Cinna. And yours, my brave Casca. Last but not least, yours, good Trebonius. You are all gentlemen—alas, what can I say? Now that I've shaken your hands, you'll take me for either a coward or a flatterer—in either case, my credibility stands on slippery ground. It's true that I loved you, Caesar—nothing could be truer. If your spirit is looking down upon us now, it must hurt you more than even your death to see your Antony making peace—shaking the bloody hands of your enemies—in front of your corpse. If I had as many eyes as you have wounds, and they wept as fast as your wounds stream blood—even that would be more becoming than joining your enemies in friendship. Forgive me, Julius! On this very spot you were hunted down, like a brave deer. And here you fell, where your hunters are now standing. The spot is marked by your death and stained by your blood. Oh world, you were the forest to this deer, and this deer, oh world, was your dear. Now you lie here, stabbed by many princes!
 * __Cassius__**: Mark Antony—
 * __Antony:__** Pardon me, Caius Cassius. Even Caesar's enemies would say the same. From a friend, it's a cool assessment—no more than that.

Kelsee Carroll. pg 717. Lucius-sir,your brother is at the door. and they want to see you. Brutus-Is he alone? Lucius-No, there are no people with him Brutus-Do you know any of them? Lucius- No, their hats are above there ears and there faces are in the cloaks and i can't discover them by any of there markings Brutus-Let them enter, oh these people can not been seen at night, it's a shame though to show our faces at night. When the evils are most free? Then by day were will they find a cavern dark enough. Then I won't go out at nite time. We have to hide it in our smiles and affabilty if they are on our path, the native semblance on, they couldn't hide them and couldn't find some were dim enough to hide. Cassius- I think we stand out to much. good moring brutus. Do i cause and trouble? Brutus-I have been up all nite. Do i know these men that have come along with you? Cassius- Yes, everyone of them, and none of them are here. But the honor you and every roman likes you. Brutus-You are welcome. Cassius-This is brutus Brutus- He is also welcome. Cassius- This is casca and cinna and metellus cimber.

Jessica Te and Fred Pg. 718, Act 2 Brutus: They are all welcome Why are you not asleep? Is there something bothering you? Cassius: Let's step aside and chat privately Decius: Oh, look at the sky. Is it not morning yet? Casca: No Cinna: The stripes on the clouds are the messenger of the day Caca: You should confess that you were both lied to. Hey, Look the sun is rising in the south it is early in the year Brtus: Give all your hands one by one Cassius: There is no need to swear our loyalty to each other Brutus: I will not promise if we can't keep it together than we need to go back to bed. Then we will let tyranny kill us all one by one. The peoples spirits are all dying, and we will never go back on our word.

Max Manerchia & Amanda Rahman pg. 732, Act 2 scene 3 I will stand here until caesar passes, and because i am a suitor of the government i will tell him, my heart is sad that caesar's greatness cannot escape fearously, and if you read this caesar, you may live caesar, if not, the traitors plots will comply. [exit] Portia__** - I called boy. Run to the senate house. dont't answer me, just go! Why are you not leaving.
 * __artemidorus__** - All men want the same thing, they are against caesar, if you are not immortal look at yourselves. Feeling secure allows room for conspiracy. I hope the gods will defend you. "The devoted friend...ARTEMIDORUS!"
 * __start scene 4
 * __Lucius__** - What am i supposed to be doin', yo? Wha' yew wunt!
 * __Portia__** - you could have already been there and back. POO! or i can tell you what to do. Constantly stay strong by my side, you make me angry! I have a mind like a man, but the strength of a woman. It is so hard for woman to stay in counsel! are you finished yet.
 * __Lucius__** - What should I do? Run to the Capitol and nothing else? And then return to you and nothing else?
 * __Portia__** - Yes, return and tell me if your master looks well, because he was sick when he left. And pay attention to what Caesar does and which men are close to him. Listen, boy! What's that noise?
 * __Lucius__** - ummmm, I don't hear anything.
 * __Portia__** - PLEASE, listen well. I heard a noise like a scuffle. The wind broght it from the Capitol.
 * __Lucius__** - Dude i really don't hear anything

Marissa and Andrea ' s interpertation for pg.721 BRUTUS: I dont want to just kill him i want him to have the chance to fight for his life. We will first do the dirty work then later punish ourselves for this sin. Then everyone will see us as doing good instead of being killers. CASSIUS: yes i fear him, for the deep-rooted love he bears for Caesar. BRUTUS: finally Cassius. Just dont think about him. If he loves Caesar then all he can do is die for Casear. But he loves chilling with his boys and playing basketball too much to do anything that crazy. TREBONIUS: he is not feared. Dont let him die, for he will live and later laugh BRUTUS: QUIET! look at the time! CASSIUS: its three o'clock TREBONIUS: its time to go CASSIUS: If Caesar comes or not, hes been very superstitous lately and i think its because of his strong beliefs he used to have on fantasy, dreams, and ceremonies! I think its because of the strange things that have been happening lately and bacause of the arguments that his fortuntellers been having. All these things are keeping him from the Capitol today. DECIUS: Dont worry about that! i can persuade him. He likes to hear the stories i tell about fantasies and such. This way he will go by whatever i tell him to go by.
