Cassius � good!
Brutus �You�re not even that cool.
Cassius � C�mon Antony, and Octavius. Try me! I�m so depressed no one loves me. I could just turn gay! Here have my flippin ninja sword. Come down and try to hit me then. You love Caesar more than me jerk!

Cassius � will you still be my friend even though I�m a jerk sometimes and I lose control and start doing my ninja moves that my mom taught me?
Brutus � yes Cassius from now on when you break out into your ninja moves I�ll just blame it on your mom.
[poet enters]
Poet � let me go into the tent. The generals hate each other and I don�t want them using ninja moves on each other.
Lucilius � no you can�t go in or I�ll tell on you.
Poet � you�ll have to kill me first.
Cassius � what the heck is going on out here?
Poet � you generals are so dumb. You guys should be friends again and stop fighting. I know since I am so much older than both of you.

Brutus � all poets are supposed to rhyme. Now go away idiot.
Cassius � yea take a lap loser.
Brutus � Lucilius and Titinius go tell someone set up the fricken camp tonight.
Cassius � and come back and bring Messala with you ASAP. [they leave]
Character Analysis
Our group chose to reenact the scene from Julius Caesar when Brutus and Cassius are fighting in their tent and the poet comes in and tells them that they should stay friends and stop acting like kids. We chose this scene from the play because it shows Brutus and Cassius having personalities that are not shown anywhere else in the play. Everyone already knows that Brutus is noble and respectful and he thinks that everybody is honest and that he thinks nothing bad will ever happen to him because he is good, but what is not shown in other parts of the play is that Brutus can be a bit childish. Because my character had such a small part in the scene we reenacted I�ll say a little about each. Lucilius obviously didn�t have a huge part in this scene all he said was something along the lines of �no you cannot enter the tent.� The poet wished to enter the tent but Lucilius was guarding the tent that Cassius and Brutus were having their argument in. I think that the most important role in this scene that we should be paying attention to is the poet. The poet is the most random thing in the whole book. I don�t really understand why he is in the book at all; he has about two lines in the book and its nothing really that affects any part of the story. He kind of pushes Brutus and Cassius to become friends again, and they do become friends again. I think that if Brutus and Cassius did not become friends again that the whole outcome of the story would be totally different.
