[after Alexander's wedding to Roxane] Philotas:
But what's the point Alexander? She's your captive; just take her as your concubine! Alexander:
Because I want a son. Damn you, Philotas Philotas:
Half your nobles have sisters who would make fine Macedonian mothers. Alexander:
To take an Asian as my queen, not a captive, is a sign of deep respect for our subjects. It will, more than anything, bring us together. Unify us. Which is not to say I won't take a Macedonian one day. Philotas:
As a second wife? And insult Macedonia? Antigonus:
Never will our people accept this girl's son as king. They'll be angry enough when they find out their husbands all have second wives in Barbaria. Alexander:
[laughing]
Then they'll learn!
