Julius Caesar/ Fall of the Roman Republic

Tony: Why hello there Julius. My name is Tony, would you mind if I asked a few questions of you?
Julius: Well helloooo there Tooonnnyyyy. That is quite a strange name that you have. Tooonnnnnyyyyy.
Tony: Oh, well, erm…yes. I suppose it is…Anyway, may I ask those few questions. I mean I do have a deadline and I need-
Julius: Good lord TO-NY! No need for explanations, be on with it child!
Tony: Oh. Uhm, okay..First one. What led to the fall of the republic?
Julius: Do you know anything child? It’s quite obvious, is it not? I dieedddd.
Tony: Oh, well that is quite…..unfortunate…
Julius: You do know you are an awful, unnatural liar, do you not?
Tony: I do…
Julius: Good. Since we have that settled, I will go into more detail for you uneducated child. Basically, it was my fault. I was very good at taking over, which brought me to my death. Let us see…Well, first, my sweet, angelic daughter married god awful Pompey. Quite an ungrateful one he was. He was the (snooty voice) king of Roma. I disliked him, very much so. I knew how to fix that hahah.
Tony: Good lord, you killed him, didn’t you Julius?
Julius: You really are a spoiler in yourself aren’t you? Yes. I killed the boy. I went to fight at the Rubicon River. My army and I crossed the river and attacked. Eventually, I killed the child. The ungrateful, idiotic…well, nevermind that. But, yes. I did kill him. What a sweet, sweet day.
Tony: Oh….kay….
Julius: Well, being the person I am, I forced his senate to make me their dictator. I was doing a fine job, or so I thought. Apparently, they thought different. Sadly, I was only the ruler for a short period of time. On March 14th, 44bc, they came and murdered me.
Tony: Sorry…who are they?
Julius: Goodness boy! Do you know anything? The senate. They is the senate. They each got one stab at me. That was such a painful experience. And good lord, my own best friend stabbed me. Not only that, he got the LAST stab. Just to make sure I knew he did it. Some best friend he was for me.
Tony: I would say I am sorry, but you know I would be lying…
Julius: Don’t bother. Save the air, more for me. Well, when I died, so did the Republic. That’s about all. It did keep Rome from being a Republic though, too bad for them
Tony: Alright then…Well, erm, I have my story. So…I guess I will be off then..Farewell Julius.
Julius: Yes, farewell Tonnyyy
