I'd love to get my hands on the Latin edition of _Asterix and the  
Roman Agent,_ where Caesar sends in a guy who just naturally spreads  
trouble whereever he goes:

"Oh, so _this_ is Caesar's secret weapon?  He doesn't look like much!"

"Oh, that's how it always is, isn't it?  If it isn't Brutus' idea,  
Brutus gets jealous!"

"JEALOUS?  I may be jealous, but I never betrayed Caesar!  I was never  
in the pay of Pompey!"

*as things rapidly go pear-shaped, the trouble maker holds up his hands:*

"Gentlemen!  Gentlemen!  I don't want to be the cause of any dispute!   
I'm sure, if in the past, you've taken advantage of Caesar's  
_gullibility_..."
