Frances White: Julia

Quotes 

• [to Livia] 

  Julia : Take my advice, climb on the funeral pyre with him.

• Julia : This is your doing, isn't it? Oh Livia, you really think that it'll convince my father to let Tiberius? HA. You are so transparent. I'm the only one who can see you for what you really are... Well remember this, Livia, I have THREE sons and they ALL come before Tiberius. And when they came to age, you won't be wanted anymore.

• Tiberius : Let me go, you fat drunken cow!

  Julia : Fat? Fat? If I'm fat, I'm fat where a woman should be fat, not skinny like a boy!

• Young Herod : Do I have the honor of addressing the former wife of the great Agrippa?

  Julia : Yes, dear, you do.

  Young Herod : My name is Herod Agrippa. I was named after your *illustrious* husband, Marcus Agrippa.

  Julia : [Smiling]  Really? Well, wasn't that nice of your father to do that?

  Young Herod : No, it was my grandfather who did that.

  Julia : Oh, well it was nice of him them.

  Young Herod : He's not very nice lady. He had my father executed, soon after I was born.

  Julia : [Awkwardly]  Oh, dear... I'm sorry.

  Young Herod : [Smiling]  Yes.

  [Titters] 

  Young Herod : So was my father.
