The line "even you?"

Seems like a logical question for your friend who is stabbing you.

Not very out of line.

Is that the joke here?

Furthermore, he's really only talking about the Shakespeare interpretation of that, which took plenty of liberties with the historical accounts.

There is absolutely no record of him ever saying that. In fact, the opposite is true. We have accounts that he was mostly just screaming and crying in pain the whole time and didn't say a damn thing.

Fuck around find out.

Granted, he fucked around by turning an evil republic into an evil empire but still.

Sure, it was covered in some sticky red stuff, but at least he shared.
