Perhaps not on the battlefield, but there are many forms of courage. Devotion to my family... to you. But none of my virtues were on your list. Even then it was as if you didn't want me for your son. Commodus... you go too far. I searched the faces of the gods... for ways to please you, to make you proud. One kind word... one full hug... where you pressed me to your chest and held me tight... would have been like the sun on my heart for 1,000 years. What is it in me you hate so much? Commodus. All I've ever wanted... was to live up to you, Caesar.

Are you ready to do your duty for Rome? Yes, Father. You will not be emperor. Which wiser, older man is to take my place? My powers will pass to Maximus... to hold in trust... until the Senate is ready to rule once more. Rome is to be a republic again. Maximus. Yes. My decision disappoints you? You wrote to me once... listing the four chief virtues: Wisdom... justice... fortitude... and temperance. As I read the list, I knew I had none of them. But I have other virtues, Father. Ambition. That can be a virtue when it drives us to excel. Resourcefulness, courage.

Maximus, please be careful. That was not prudent. Prudent? The Emperor has been slain. The Emperor died of natural causes.

Do you ever find it hard to do your duty? Sometimes I do what I want to do. The rest of the time, I do what I have to.
