I need help with the end of this movie

Spoilers... First off, i haven't seen this movie in a while, but i remember at the very end, after Commodus dies, the generals or council members look to Stephen Boyd to be the knew Cesear, and he says something to the effect of you can have it, and then he walks away. What i need help with is if anyone can post what those lines are that the generals/council members say, and then the exact words stephen boyd says in return, it was so perfectly well worded, and i'm completely butchering it here, but any help with where the script is on-line, or what that last dialogue is would be much appreciated.

thanks

I don't remember this perfectly but it was something like: "If you'd chose me for caesar, my first order would be to crucify you all".

i agree with the performance from plummer, the way he just kills his father, because he's his father, oh so cool.

The generals offer Livius the position of Ceasar and his comback is first a look of disgust then he says "you would not find me suitable since my first official act would be to have you all crucified" then he walks off and the bidding begins among the generals.
