I Love the Smell of
Corruption in the Morning . . . .
"I've watched your career with fascination Sejanus. It's been a revelation to me how a small mind allied to limitless ambition can destroy a nation full of clever men. I've seen how frail is the structure of civilization before the onslaught of a gust of really bad breath. But you're not the disease, no, we must look elsewhere for that; you're merely the stench, the putrefaction that comes after death . . . You're a lesson in history Sejanus, that above all else, mankind still needs . . . its sense . . . of smellllllll!!!!!!"
