    What a sketch!
    Perfection all around.
    Writing of course, performance, editing, lighting, costumes, sets, sound. Just wow.

    "And what do we do when she doesn't comply?"
    "Seize her"
    "What?"
    "We seize her right then and there"
    "But I thought I-"
    *toot*
    "Right, Caesar thought *Caesar is Caesar and not all of us-"
    *toot*
    "All of you?"

    The funny thing about the ending is that Cleopatra likely had her breasts beared anyway. Probably wouldn't have minded people looking at them.
