Pompeii - Debate Over Safety of the Amphitheatre

Severus: I don't have time for this, Graecus; what are you suggesting? We cancel the games?
Graecus: Of course not, merely postpone them.
Severus: This amphitheatre has stood for a hundred years. It withstood the great earthquake.
Graecus: It may not be safe. Use your eyes. I'm just saying, I cannot be held responsible for what may happen.
Severus: Then don't be. I take full responsibility. How can we expect Rome to trust us to rebuild an entire city, if we can't stage a simple bloody spectacle?

Professor James Moriarty: [Slams Holmes against a table; Twists Holmes' injured arm and shoulder] Wound taking its toll.
Sherlock Holmes: [Moriarty twists Holmes onto the railing of the balcony; Moriarty is able to hit Holmes more freely and block any desperate punches from Holmes] As I feared. Injury makes defense untenable. Prognosis: Increasingly negative
Professor James Moriarty: [Moriarty pushes Holmes over the railing, to the falls below.] Let's not waste anymore of one another's time. We both know how this ends.
