Caius Marcius: Citizens? Fuck you guys.
(enter MESSENGER)

Act I, Scene IV.
Before Corioli
(Enter MARCIUS and SOME DUDES)
First Dude: Whew! Fighting is hard.
Second Dude: Look! The Volscians retreat within the walls of their city!
First Dude: To follow would mean certain death!
Marcius: Psh!
(MARCIUS chases the WHOLE VOLSCIAN ARMY within their walls. The gates are shut behind him.)
Third Dude: Woah.
Second Dude: Welp! He's fucked. Might as well go home.
(The gates are opened. MARCIUS stands there, alone, covered in blood and juggling the heads of the WHOLE VOLSCIAN ARMY.)
Third Dude: Woah.
Act I, Scene IX.
The Roman camp.
(Enter COMINIUS, MARCIUS, SOME DUDES and CHEWBACCA)
Cominius: Dude, that was awesome.
Marcius: Psh.
(COMINIUS gives MARCIUS a medal)
Chewbacca: Raaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrr!
Cominius: From now on I'm gonna call you "Coriolanus".
First Dude (aside): Heh.
Second Dude (aside): Does that mean "the asshole of Corioli".
Third Dude: Won't that confuse the audience?
Cominius: It's the name of the play, dickweed! They're just going to have to work for it. Now, Coriolanus...
Marcius: ...
Cominius: Coriolanus, come on, let's go.
Marcius: ...
Cominius: MARCIUS!
Marcius: Huh?
Cominius: You're Coriolanus now. Got it? Good. Let's go.
(Exeunt)
