I, Claudius (mini) Quote

Claudius: Grandmother... who killed Marcellus? [Long pause]
Livia: I did. The empire needed Agrippa more then it needed Marcellus, and then I had Agrippa poisoned so Tiberius could marrry Julia because I that the man who was married to her would be the next emperor, my son messed that up, of course...
Claudius: And what about Julia's sons by Agrippa, how did they die?
Livia: Gaius I had poisoned while he was in Gaul.
Claudius: You have a long reach!
Livia: The empire is large, I need one. Then Lucius was murdered in a boating accident arranged by his Platus.
Claudius: And... Postumus? [pause]
Livia: You were really fond of him weren't you?
Claudius: [sadly] Yes, grandmother.
Livia: He was useless. I had to get rid of Postumus; he was a theat to Tiberius. Besides, he knew I had his mother Julia banished.
