One of my favourite Shakespeare plays

Coriolanus.  And Ralph Fiennes does it so well.

"Alone.  I did it.  Boy!"

Here's one of the best.  Start around 0:35 of the clip.  (Context:  His reaction to being banished by Rome despite his heroics etc.)




The actual quote itself:

“You common cry of curs! whose breath I hate
As reek o' the rotten fens, whose loves I prize
As the dead carcasses of unburied men
That do corrupt my air, I banish you;
And here remain with your uncertainty!”
