Crop rotation and direct roads from city to city.

REG:

Yeah. All right, Stan. Don't labour the point. And what have they ever given us in return?!

XERXES:

The aqueduct?

REG:

What?

XERXES:

The aqueduct.

REG:

Oh. Yeah, yeah. They did give us that. Uh, that's true. Yeah.

COMMANDO #3:

And the sanitation.

LORETTA:

Oh, yeah, the sanitation, Reg. Remember what the city used to be like?

REG:

Yeah. All right. I'll grant you the aqueduct and the sanitation are two things that the Romans have done.

MATTHIAS:

And the roads.

REG:

Well, yeah. Obviously the roads. I mean, the roads go without saying, don't they? But apart from the sanitation, the aqueduct, and the roads--

COMMANDO:

Irrigation.

XERXES:

Medicine.

COMMANDOS:

Huh? Heh? Huh...

COMMANDO #2:

Education.

COMMANDOS:

Ohh...

REG:

Yeah, yeah. All right. Fair enough.

COMMANDO #1:

And the wine.

COMMANDOS:

Oh, yes. Yeah...

FRANCIS:

Yeah. Yeah, that's something we'd really miss, Reg, if the Romans left. Huh.

COMMANDO:

Public baths.

LORETTA:

And it's safe to walk in the streets at night now, Reg.

FRANCIS:

Yeah, they certainly know how to keep order. Let's face it. They're the only ones who could in a place like this.

COMMANDOS:

Hehh, heh. Heh heh heh heh heh heh heh.

REG:

All right, but apart from the sanitation, the medicine, education, wine, public order, irrigation, roads, a fresh water system, and public health, what have the Romans ever done for us?

XERXES:

Brought peace.

REG:

Oh. Peace? Shut up!

Apparently Roman ladies used to collect the sweaty gloop from athletes and gladiators that was left in the baths and use it in a face pack

Probably could have recited it from memory as Life of Brian is my favourite film but it was easier to google it lol

One other thing the Romans are famous for is Grafitti.

Grafitti in Latin means 'to scratch' and they used to scratch the names of their favourite gladiators on the walls of the Colleseum. If you go to Rome you'll see grafitti literally everywhere in the outskirts (it's cleaned up regularly for the touristos in Central Rome)

Water proof concrete.........Oh and Rabbits!

We've sometimes thought how its strange they gave us all that and built villas,towns and cities way in advance of anything this country had ever seen.

Yet when they left we went back to living in mud huts and scratching about in the dirt.

What was that all about?

Brian:

Have I got a big nose mum?

Mandy:

Oh, stop thinking about sex!

Brian:

I wasn't!

Mandy:

You're always on about it! Morning, noon, and night. Will the girls like this, will the girls like that, is it too big, is it too small....

...

Mandy:

Well, there's a reason it's... like it is, Brian.

Brian:

What is it?

Mandy:

Your father isn't Mr. Cohen.

Brian:

I never thought he was!

Mandy:

Now none of your cheek! He was a Roman, Brian. He was a centurion in the Roman army.

Brian:

You mean... you were raped?!

Mandy:

Well... at first, yes.

Brian:

Who was it!?

Mandy:

Ah... Nortius Maximus his name was. Mmm... Promised me the known world he did. I was to be taken to Rome, house by the Forum, slaves, ass's milk, as much gold as I could eat... Then he, having his way with me he had, voom! Like a rat out of an aqueduct!

Brian:

The bastard!

Mandy:

Yes, and next time you go on about "the bloody Romans", don't forget you're one of 'em!

Brian:

I'm not a Roman mum, and I never will be! I'm a Kike, a Yid, a Hebe, a hooknose! I'm kosher mum! I'm a Red Sea pedestrian, and proud of it!

Mandy:

Sex, sex, sex, is all they think about eh?

Ex-leper: Alms for an ex-leper. Spare a talent for an old ex-leper?

Mandy: Buzz off.

Ex-leper: Spare a talent for an old ex-leper?

Mandy: A talent? That's more than he earns in a month!

Ex-leper: Half a talent then?

Mandy: Now go away!

Ex-leper: Come on big nose, let's haggle!

Brian: What?!

Ex-leper: All right, cut the haggling. Say you open at one shekel, I start at two thousand, we close about eighteenhundred.

Brian: No.

Ex-leper: Seventeen fifty?

Mandy: Go away!

Ex-leper: Seventeen forty?

Mandy: Look, will you leave him alone!

Ex-leper: All right, two shekels, just two. Is this fun eh?

Mandy: Look, he's not givin' you any money, so piss off.

Ex-leper: All right, that's my final offer, half a shekel for an old ex-leper?

Brian: Did you say "ex-leper"?

Ex-leper: That's right sir, sixteen years behind the bell and proud of it sir.

Brian: Well, what happened?

Ex-leper: Oh, cured sir.

Brian: Cured?

Ex-leper: Yes, a bloody miracle sir.

Brian: Who cured you?

Ex-leper: Jesus did sir! There I was hopping along, minding my own business, all of a sudden up he comes, cures me! One minute I'm a leper with a trade, next minute my livelihood's gone! Not so much as a by your leave! "You're cured mate." Bloody do-gooder!

Brian: Well... why don't you go and tell him that you want to be a leper again?

Ex-leper: I could do that sir, yeah, yeah, could do I suppose. What I was thinking was, I was gonna ask him if he'd make me... a bit lame in one leg during the middle of the week. You know, something beggable, but not leprocy, which was a pain in me ass to be blunt, excuse my French sir...

Mandy: Brian! Come and clean your room up!

Brian: Here you are.

Ex-leper: Thank you sir, thank... Half a dinare for me bloody life story!

Brian: There's no pleasing some people.

Ex-leper: That's just what Jesus said sir!
