^ this and that 

Centurion: What's this then? "Romanes eunt domus"? "People called Romanes, they go the 'ouse"?

Brian: It — it says "Romans go home".

Centurion: No it doesn't. What's Latin for "Roman"? Come on, come on!

Brian: "Romanus"?

Centurion: Goes like...?

Brian: "A(n)nus"?

Centurion: Vocative plural of "a(n)nus" is...?

Brian: "A(n)ni."

Centurion: "Romani". "Eunt"? What is "eunt"?

Brian: "Go".

Centurion: Conjugate the verb "to go".

Brian: Ire: eo, is, it, imus, itis, eunt.

Centurion: So "eunt" is...?

Brian: Third person plural, present indicative. "They go".

Centurion: But "Romans go home" is an order, so you must use the...?

Brian:  Eeeh, imperative!

Centurion: Which is…?

Brian: Uh, uhm, "ii"! "Ii"!

Centurion: How many Romans?

Brian: Aah! Plural, plural! "Ite"! "Ite"!

Centurion: "Ite". "Domus"? Nominative? "Go home", this is motion towards, isn't it, boy?”

Brian: Dative! (centurion draws his sword and holds it to Brian's throat) Ah! Not dative! Not the dative! Aah! Accusative, accusative! "Domum", sir, "ad domum".

Centurion: Except that "domus" takes the...?

Brian: The locative, sir!

Centurion: Which is...?

Brian: "Domum"!

Centurion: "Domum".  "Um". Understand?

Brian: Yes, sir.

Centurion: Now write it out a 'undred times.

Brian: Yes, thank you Sir, Hail Caesar.

Centurion: Hail Caesar. If it's not done by sunrise, I'll cut your balls off.

(after some time)

Brian: Finished!

Centurion: Right. Now don't do it again.
