BRUTUS

The people are furious with him.

SICINIUS

Stop, or a riot will break out.

CORIOLANUS

Are these your followers? Why do these people have the right to vote, if they can vote one way and then immediately change their mind? What’s your job? If you control what they think and say, can’t you control what they do? Have you incited them against us?

MENENIUS

Calm down, calm down.

CORIOLANUS

It’s a deliberate plot to undercut the authority of the nobility. If we succumb to it, we’ll have to live alongside these uncontrollable people who themselves are incapable of governing.

BRUTUS

Don’t call it a plot. The people say you mocked them, and recently when corn was given to them for free, you complained and slandered us, the representatives of the people, calling us opportunists, flatterers, and enemies to nobility.

CORIOLANUS

You were already known as such.

BRUTUS

Not all of them thought so.

CORIOLANUS

Have you informed them since?

BRUTUS

How would I inform them?

CORIOLANUS

By the way you do business.
