Cleopatra: You come before me as a suppliant. 
Antony: If you choose to regard me as such. 
Cleopatra: You will therefore assume the position of a suppliant before this throne. You will kneel. 
Antony: I will *what*? 
Cleopatra: On-your-knees! 
Antony: You dare ask the Proconsul of the Roman Empire? 
Cleopatra: I *asked* it of Julius Caesar. I *demand* it of you
