- Caesonia: Claudius, what am I doing here? Why did he choose me for a wife? I'm ten years older than he is, I'm not pretty, I was born to a night watchman and I married a baker. What does he see in me?
- Claudius: Perhaps that you, alone among everyone, truly love him.
- Caesonia (crying): Yes... I do love him. I can't explain why. I know that he does *terrible* things. I'll tell you something. He is more afraid than any of us.
