“Your new horse-boy. Aristus implied he was offering more than his services as a groom. He’s handsome. Thinking of throwing me over?”

“For a horse-boy?” Brutus laughed. “I think not. I felt bad for him, that’s all. His father fought in the civil war. For the other side,” he added, and nudged Cassius’s thigh with his knee.

( You'd have thrown in with Caesar too, if you weren't so damned ambitious. )

R always seems to end up here when Jacques Pepin's cooking show is on. Either that or there's a channel on local TV that plays nothing but Jacques Pepin. It's possible, he's popular.



R: So who would you pick to play Peepin?
Me: You mean like, in the biopic?
R: Yeah. Who's your pick?
Me: Daniel Craig --
R: NO!
Me: -- in twenty years.
R: Acceptable but wrong.
Me: Who are you so sure would play him?
R: William Shatner.
Me: ....I concede.
