Today is the 15th of March 44 B.C.E. and the Senate will be meating at Pompey's theater due to remodeling at the Senate House. Thank you Decius Brutus for persuading Caesar to join us at this fine meeting. I wish all of Rome a long and prosperous future.
Although I love Caesar very much I know that you have done is for Rome. Caesar and I have a great relationship.

I remember this day. If only the Pax Romana could've begun the day Rome was founded. No wars, just eternal peace. It is improper of me to be complaining of this, for we must all face our deaths sometime somehow. But I know few end their life knowing they were satisfied and content. More people should treat everyday as if it were their last.

Brutus, could it be that you were involved in the plot to destroy me? I cannot believe it. We were always close friends. Do you no longer care about me, Brutus. Am I, your dear friend Caesar your enemy? Have you forgotten when I vouched for you, Brutus, when you were accused of being a conspirator in a plot to kill Pompey. Have you forgotten how I honored like the time I sent you to the east on a mission because I trusted you. Do you not remember how I made you the governor of Cisalpine Gaul? Did I not choose you as a praetor, as well. Can you think of a man, Brutus, who I have honored more than you?

Caesar I love you as much as your mother did. I'm speaking figuratively, if your mother didn't love you then I love you as a brother. I appreciate all that you have done for me. If there had been a way for me to destroy your ambition without destroying you, you know full well that that's what I would have done. You threatened Rome, the only thing I love above all else, it was my only option. Caesar I miss you and cherish your memories, but I killed you for the better of Rome.
