And now, a diverting escapade into the humorous and jollie worlde of:
TOP TEN LINES THAT WOULD HAVE CHANGED THE STORY OF "ALEXANDER" COMPLETELY.
(note: bold text indicates a line actually in the show)
10. Alexander: On second thought, let us not go to Persia. It is a silly place.
9. Cassander: My lord, to whom do you leave the Empire, or shall it disintegrate into dynastic wars after your death?
Alexander: We couldn't have that! I'll leave the Empire to ... how about that guy?
8. Olympias: I knew that night when bells and trumpets sounded, that Philip had crowned his new heir. Which was fine by me - never went much in for politics anyway. So Alexander and I are moving to a nice villa in Thrace. I'll take up crochet ... maybe he'll be a doctor ...
7. Ptolemy: My lord, the Generals are saying they refuse to go to Persia without a second UN resolution ...
6. Alexander: See, here's the thing - I've done some calculations and Darius outnumbers us about ten to one. I'm thinking we negotiate; what do you say?
5. Alexander: I TELL YOU, AS YOUR KING, RESPECT MY CROWN!!
Cleitus: Wicked. Nice crown.
4. Cleitus: They will remind you that we have been lately humbled! And they're right. The Spartans have been kicking our ass lately. Let's quit this arms race and become a peace-loving farming people known for our minstrel songs. All in favour say aye!
3. Alexander: But mother, I don't WANT to be a King! I just want to ... DANCE!!
2. Olympias (357 BC): Philip darling, no offence, but I'm totally not in the mood tonight. Can't we just play Scrabble?
1. Cassander: My lord, there are some guys here who say they're from the Tyrian and Theban Truth and Reconciliation Committee and they want to talk to you ...
