Caligula - Debate Over Kingship in Rome
Caligula:
I want your honest advice. Should I make myself king of Rome?
Claudius:
King? Well... But this is a republic, isn't it?
Caligula:
Very well, then. I shall make myself king of the republic.
Longinus:
But you're already greater than any king, Caesar.
Caligula:
I am a god, or at least I will be when I'm dead.
