PAUL MESCAL as LUCIUS Gladiator II dir. Ridley Scott

“Well, you’ve never met anyone worth a damn then.”

«It is often said of the Malfoy family that you will never find one at the scene of the crime, though their fingerprints might be all over the guilty wand. Independently wealthy, with no need to work for a living, they have generally preferred the role of power behind the throne, happy for others to do the donkey work and to take the responsibility for failure. They have helped finance many of their preferred candidates’ election campaigns, which have (it is alleged) included paying for dirty work such as hexing the opposition.»

PAUL MESCAL as LUCIUS Gladiator II dir. Ridley Scott

“Look, you’re very cool, and you wear leather, okay, so maybe you won’t understand this. But everyone is worried all of the time whether they’re interesting or adventurous enough for you. And that bizarre, little man over there likes you very much. And you like him. And, if you can’t get over yourself long enough to realize that, you’re going to end up another leather-clad, middle-aged sad-sack dying alone in a puddle of his own piss. You can stab me in the face now.”

And, uh, death, you know, I’m used to death. But, um, but not to your death.

“Actually, I think I’m just so-so, but I’ve decided to carry myself like I’m cute.”
