Marc Anthony, Caesar’s friend and one of the assassins, speaks.

Anthony:
Friends, Romans, countrymen, lend me your ears;
I come to bury Caesar, not to praise him.

Groundling 1:
You don’t even have a shovel. How you going to bury him?

Groundling 2:
You ain’t done a day of digging in your life, ya toff!

Anthony:
The evil that men do lives after them;
The good is oft interred with their bones;

Groundling 1:
Entered who with his bone ?

Groundling 2.
Aye, havin’ at that Egypitian tart, weren’t he?

Anthony:
So let it be with Caesar. The noble Brutus
Hath told you Caesar was ambitious:

Groundling 1:
He et, too, I heard, did Brutus.

Anthony
If it were so, it was a grievous fault.
And grievously hath Caesar answer'd it.

Groundling 2
He hasn’t answered for anything has he? Dead as doornail, he is. Go ahead, poke him with a stick. Dead. Dead. Dead.

Anthony
Here, under leave of Brutus and the rest—

Groundling 1,
What leafs? There ain’t no leafs.

Groundling 2
Brutus has leafs? And he ain’t even sharing.

Anthony
For Brutus is an honourable man;
So are they all, all honourable men—

Groundling 1
Bloody poms, aren’t they. Useless.

Groundling 2
Not a shovel among the lot. How you going to bury him?

Anthony
Oh, never mind.
