Quote #10
LUCIUS:
In like manner was I in debt to my importunate
business, but he would not hear my excuse. I am sorry,
when he sent to borrow of me, that my provision was
out. (3.6.13-16)
Lucius and Lucullus try to justify their actions to themselves, but we're pretty sure everyone sees right through it. Neither of these guys was in debt to anyone but Timon, but they can't help him out when he comes a-knockin'. But hey, if everyone says they can't help, then nobody needs to feel bad about it, right?
