Quotes
-
Drusus : A man should keep himself clean, not have slaves do it.
Tiberius : And how's he supposed to scrape his own back?
Drusus : He gets his brother to do it.
Tiberius : If he hasn't got a brother?
Drusus : He gets his son.
Tiberius : If he hasn't got a son?
Drusus : Gets his friend.
Tiberius : And if he hasn't got a friend?
Drusus : Then he should go and hang himself.
Tiberius : I've tried it. Better to have a slave scrape your back.
