CASCA
Ay, he spoke Greek.
|
CASCA
Yes, he said something in Greek.
|
|
CASSIUS
To what effect?
|
CASSIUS
What did he say?
|
|
|
CASCA
Nay, an I tell you that, I’ll ne'er look you
i' th' face again.
But those that understood him smiled at one another and
shook their heads. But, for mine own part, it was Greek to
me. I could tell you more news too. Murellus and Flavius,
for pulling scarfs off Caesar’s images, are put to
silence.
Fare you well. There was more foolery yet, if I could
remember it.
|
CASCA
If I told you I understood Greek, I’d be lying. But those
who understood him smiled at one another and shook their heads. As
for myself, it was Greek to me. I have more news too. Murellus and
Flavius have been punished for pulling scarves off statues of
Caesar. There you go. There was even more foolishness, if I could
only remember it.

|
CASSIUS
Will you dine with me tomorrow?
|
|
|
CASCA
Ay, if I be alive and your mind hold and your dinner worth
the eating.
|
CASCA
Yes, if I’m still alive, and you’re still sane,
and your dinner is worth eating.
|
|
|
CASSIUS
Good. I will expect you.
|
CASSIUS
Good. I’ll expect you.

BRUTUS
What a blunt fellow is this grown to be!
He was quick mettle when he went to school.
|
BRUTUS
What a stupid man he’s become! He was so sharp when he
was in school.
