• Aquila : No Roman can survive north of the wall alone. You can't.

  Marcus Aquila : Then I'll take Esca. I can use his knowledge. He speaks the language.

  Aquila : Esca?

  Marcus Aquila : Why not?

  Aquila : 'Cause he's a Briton. He may not be from the north of the wall, but he's a Briton, and he will slit your throat the minute you're alone.

• Aquila : What would Rome say?

  Claudius : Eagle lost; honor lost. Honor lost; all lost.

• Aquila : [to Marcus as the doctor works on him]  I hope the medicine he's gonna give you does you some good. It smells repellant - like one of his farts.

• [after being told he has been discharged from the army, Marcus asks to be left alone. Walking away from the room, Stephanos hears a scream of pain, and turns back in alarm] 

  Aquila : Stephanos, leave him. There's no medicine for that.
