1. Ah, yes — 'Julius Caesar' on an Aldis Lamp

Also...

"The Semaphore Version of 'Wuthering Heights'."

"'Gunfight at the OK Corral' in Morse Code."

And "The Smoke-Signal Version of 'Gentlemen Prefer Blondes'."

2. Caesar must bleed for it!

William Shakespeare > Julius Caesar > Act 2, Scene 1

BRUTUS

Our course will seem too bloody, Caius Cassius,
To cut the head off and then hack the limbs,
Like wrath in death and envy afterwards;
For Antony is but a limb of Caesar:
Let us be sacrificers, but not butchers, Caius.
We all stand up against the spirit of Caesar;
And in the spirit of men there is no blood:
O, that we then could come by Caesar's spirit,
And not dismember Caesar! But, alas,
Caesar must bleed for it! And, gentle friends,
Let's kill him boldly, but not wrathfully;
Let's carve him as a dish fit for the gods,
Not hew him as a carcass fit for hounds:
And let our hearts, as subtle masters do,
Stir up their servants to an act of rage,
And after seem to chide 'em. This shall make
Our purpose necessary and not envious:
Which so appearing to the common eyes,
We shall be call'd purgers, not murderers.
And for Mark Antony, think not of him;
For he can do no more than Caesar's arm
When Caesar's head is off.

3. So nice of them to "carve him as dish fit for the gods!"

6. Liberty! Freedom! Tyranny is dead!

Run hence, proclaim, cry it about in the streets!
Some to the common pulpits and cry out
"Liberty, freedom and enfranchisement!"
People and senators, be not affrighted.
Fly not; stand still; ambition's debt is paid.

--Julius Caesar, 3.1.78-83
