What pledge does casca give to Cassius?
Casca pledges to work with Cassius.
Where are Casca and Cassius going as Act 1 ends?
Casca and Cassius are going to Brutus's house to give him anonymous letters about how great he is and how he needs to take down Julius Caesar.
What does Cassius mean when he says Brutus can thank himself for the offending tongue?
The line is "Flatterers! Now, Brutus, thank yourself: This tongue had not offended so to-day, If Cassius might have ruled." in Act V Scene 1. Antony, Octavian, Brutus and Cassius are engaged in the traditional pre-battle shouting match. Antony has just let go with an attack on Brutus and Cassius, calling them flatterers because they sucked up to Caesar while Casca snuck up on him from behind. This is why Cassius says "Flatterers!" Then he turns to speak to Brutus, and says, "This tongue had not offended so today if Cassius might have ruled." "This tongue" is Cassius's tongue and it has, he thinks, offended Antony, so what he is saying is that his tongue would not have offended Antony so much if Cassius had his way. Or possibly it might mean Antony's tongue which has offended Cassius. Either way, what he is talking about is that conversation way back in Act 2 Scene 1 (remember?) where Cassius said "I think it is not meet Mark Antony, so well beloved of Caesar, should outlive Caesar." He means that if Brutus had agreed with Cassius at that point Antony would be dead and would not be around to take or give offence (or, more importantly, to lead an army against them three acts later). Thanks a heap, Brutus. Or in other words, "Now Brutus, thank yourself."
What reason does Casca give for wanting Brutus to join their cause?
Casca comments that the noble Brutus's participation in their plot will bring worthiness to their schemes, for "he sits high in all the people's hearts, / And that which would appear offence in us / His countenance, like richest alchemy, / Will change to virtue and to worthiness"

This rudeness is a sauce to his good wit?
This quote is from William Shakespeare's Julius Caesar, Act I Scene 2. The scene begins with Caesar and his entourage preparing to greet the waiting crowd of Roman citizens. Cassius and Brutus are there, and early on, Caesar shows his shrewd political insight by identifying Cassius as dangerous man, and while Caesar stands before the cheering crowd Cassius very subtly reveals his political nature and strong distaste for Caesar to Brutus. Then Casca enters, reporting the news of Caesars and Antony's dramatics and tells how Antony offered Caesar the crown three times, each time Caesar rejecting it. When Casca exits, Brutus makes an off hand remark about the slow nature of Casca by saying: "What a blunt fellow is this grown to be. He was quick mettle when he went to school." Brutus is commenting on Casca's seeming slow nature which is contrary to how he was in the past and Cassius responds with a subtle rebuke of Brutus misjudgment of character by responding: "So is he now in execution. Of any bold or noble enterprise, however he puts on this tardy form. This rudeness is a sauce to his good wit, which give men stomach to digest his words with better appetite.." The irony of the remark made by Cassious is that he his advising Brutus to be less dismissive of others and consider the true nature of peoples seeming inferiority. It is Brutus who is the tragic hero of this story and all tragic heroes are felled by their own hubris. Brutus is afflicted with an air of superiority but he also holds strongly the ideal that people are basically good. He views both Casca and Cassius as good people and is most certainly unaware of Cassius' subtle designs to use Brutus in his conspiracy to kill Caesar. The irony is that while Cassius is advising Brutus to look past peoples facades, he is relying on the fact that Brutus will not see through his own.
