[to Falco]
Lucius will stay with me now. And if his mother so much as looks at me in a manner that displeases me, he will die. If she decides to be noble and takes her own life, he will die. [to Lucilla] Commodus:
And as for you, you will love me as I loved you. You will provide me with an heir of pure blood, so that Commodus and his progeny will rule for a thousand years. AM I NOT MERCIFUL? [Lucilla turns her head] Commodus:
AM I NOT MERCIFUL?
