"We will be satisfied; let us be satisfied."
Citizens to Brutus - the citizens want to know the reasoning behind Caesars death and want to be satisfied with the answer.
"{prose} Romans, countrymen, and lovers! hear me for my cause, and be silent, that you may hear: believe me for mine honour, and have respect to mine honour, that you may believe: censure me in your wisdom, and awake your senses, that you may the better judge. If there be any in this assembly, any dear friend of Caesar's, to him I say, that Brutus' love to Caesar was no less than his. If then that friend demand why Brutus rose against Caesar, this is my answer: --Not that I loved Caesar less, but that I loved Rome more. Had you rather Caesar were living and die all slaves, than that Caesar were dead, to live all free men? As Caesar loved me, I weep for him; as he was fortunate, I rejoice at it; as he was valiant, I honour him: but, as he was ambitious, I slew him. There is tears for his love; joy for his fortune; honour for his valour; and death for his ambition. Who is here so base that would be a bondman? If any, speak; for him have I offended. Who is here so rude that would not be a Roman? If any, speak; for him have I offended. Who is here so vile that will not love his country? If any, speak; for him have I offended. I pause for a reply."
Brutus to citizens - Brutus is saying how that he loved Caesar but he loved Rome more. He believes that Rome is more important and feels as though Caesar will do harm to Rome. He tells the citizens that Caesars ambitions will be the thing that ruing Rome. Brutus is also talking in prose to shows reason to the citizens.
"{Dramatic Irony} Here comes his body, mourned by Mark Antony: who, though he had no hand in his death, shall receive the benefit of his dying"
Brutus to Citizens - Brutus tells the Citizens that Antony is happy for Caesars death, but it is actually the oppisite.
"If any, speak; for him have I offended. Who is here so vile that will not love his country? If any, speak; for him have I offended. I pause for a reply."
Brutus to citizens - He is asking if anyone thinks that Caesar s more important than Rome to step forward
"{dramatic irony} Good countrymen, let me depart alone, and, for my sake, stay here with Antony: Do grace to Caesars corpse, and grace his speech tending to Caesar's glories; which Mark Antony, By our permission, is allow'd to make. I do entreat you, not a man depart, save I alone, till Antony have spoke."
Brutus to citizens - after Brutus' speech he allows Antony to speak on Caesars behalf. Brutus thinks he will recite the same opinion on Caesar, but he doesn't
"Friends, Romans, countrymen, lend me your ears; I come to bury Caesar, not to praise him. The evil that men do lives after them; The good is oft interred with their bones; So let it be with Caesar. The noble Brutus Hath told you Caesar was ambitious: If it were so, it was a grievous fault, And grievously hath Caesar answer'd it. Here, under leave of Brutus and the rest-- For Brutus is an honourable man; So are they all, all honourable men-- Come I to speak in Caesar's funeral. He was my friend, faithful and just to me: But Brutus says he was ambitious; And Brutus is an honourable man. He hath brought many captives home to Rome Whose ransoms did the general coffers fill: Did this in Caesar seem ambitious? When that the poor have cried, Caesar hath wept: Ambition should be made of sterner stuff: Yet Brutus says he was ambitious; And Brutus is an honourable man."
Antony to citizens - Antony goes against what Brutus thought he was going to say and made Brutus and the other conspirators look evil. He responded to Brutus' accusation that Caesar was ambitious. He said how could he be ambitious if he declined the crown thrice. He also was very sarcastic while using "they are all honourable men" and spoke in poetry to show more emotions
"O judgment! Thou art fled to brutish beasts, and men have lost their reason. Bear with me: {pathos} my heart is in a coffin there with Caesar, and I must pause till it come back to me."

"There is not a nobler man in Rome than Antony"
Citizen to Antony - Antony has switched the citizens minds to side with him
"But here's a parchment with the seal of Caesar; i found it in his closet, 'tis his will; let but the commons hear this testament— which, pardon me, i do not mean to read— and they would go and kiss dead Caesar's wounds and dip their hands in his sacred blood, yea, beg a hair of him for memory, and dying, mention it within their wills, bequeathing it as a rich legacy unto their issue."
Antony to the citizens - Antony is teasing the citizens by not opening the will.
"Will you be patient? Will you stay awhile? I have o'ershot myself to tell you of it: {dramatic irony} I fear I wrong the honourable men who's daggers have stabb'd Caesar; {dramatic irony} i do fear it!"
Antony to citizens - Antony is still trying to turn the citizens over by sarcasm seen only by the audience.
"They were traitors: honourable men!"
Citizen to other citizens - Antony is successful at persuading them and now they think the conspirators are traders.
"For Brutus, as you know, was Caesar's angel: Judge, O you gods, how dearly Caesar loved him! This was the most unkindest cut of all; For when the noble Caesar saw him stab, Ingratitude, more strong than traitors' arms, Quite vanquish'd him: then burst his mighty heart; And, in his mantle muffling up his face, Even at the base of Pompey's statua, Which all the while ran blood, great Caesar fell."
Antony to citizens - Antony was describing to the citizens how Caesar love Brutus and considered "Caesars angel". He thought how Brutus turned on him and literally/metaphorical stabbed him in the back was evil.
"{dramatic irony} I come not, friends, to steal away your hearts: I am no orator, as Brutus is; But, as you know me all, a plain blunt man, That love my friend; and that they know full well That gave me public leave to speak of him: For I have neither wit, nor words, nor worth, Action, nor utterance, nor the power of speech, To stir men's blood: I only speak right on; I tell you that which you yourselves do know;"
Antony to the citizens - he is trying to play it off the citizens that he doesn't want them to change opinion on Brutus and the conspirators, but it is fear he is persuading him.
"{apostrophe/soliloquy} Now let it work. Mischief, thou art afoot, Take thou what course thou wilt!"
