Herod: Listen Claudius, let me give you a piece of advice. Claudius: Oh, I thought you'd finished giving advice. Herod: Well, just one more piece, then I'm done. Trust no one, my friend, no one. Not your most grateful freedman. Not your most intimate friend. Not your dearest child. Not the wife of your bosom. Trust no one. Claudius: No one? Not even you?

Herod would not have used the word done. He would have used finished.
