And then there is that crowd of pirates whose ship always, inevitably, gets sunk... One of them loves quoting classical Latin tags, for example.
POST THEM!!!
1) Roman fleet and Caesar sink pirates:
"O fortunatos nimium, sua si bona norint agricolas!"
2) Pirates run aground after fleeing Asterix and Obelix in rowing boat:
"Fluctuat nec mergitur."
One from 'Asterix and the Actress'.
3) After saying they need to be careful:
"Ceterarum rerum prudens."
Two from 'Asterix and Obelix All At Sea'.
4) Look, I only gave him a drink of water:
"Felix qui potuit rerum cognoscere causas."
5) What on Earth did I say wrong?
"Summum jus, summa injuria."
One in 'Asterix and the Secret Weapon'.
6) Floating in the sea:
"Desinit in piscem mulier formosa superne!"
Which gets the response: "One more Latin tag and I'll drown you!!!"
