:17:12
Come in.
:17:14
What is it, Thea?
:17:16
- I came for Mrs. St. Aubyn's medicine.
- It's in my bag over there.

:17:19
If you'll bring it to me, I'll mix it for you.
:17:42
Why, you're frightened.
:17:45
You were very bold downstairs
when you refused to pour me wine.

:17:49
But alone with the old watchdog,
you are not so brave.

:17:51
- I am not afraid of you.
- The old one in there is frightened of you.

:17:55
She made me come up here.
Said you were moving around, restless.

:17:59
- Planning evil things.
- I went to get medicine for my mistress.

:18:02
So I see. Wait.
:18:06
Tell me, about the wine...
:18:10
why did you refuse to serve me?
:18:11
- Why do you kill your own countrymen?
- And when have I done that?

:18:14
In my district, they still speak of
how you collected taxes...

:18:17
in the little villages with field artillery.
:18:19
- They were in rebellion against the taxes.
- But they were Greeks.

:18:22
Who is against the law of Greece
is not a Greek.

:18:25
Laws can be wrong and laws can be cruel,
and the people who live only by the law...

:18:30
are both wrong and cruel.
:18:47
When I went up there, she wasn't
quite so impudent. She was frightened.

:18:51
Did she tell you why she wouldn't
pour the wine for you?

:18:53
Some silly grudge against me,
for collecting taxes in her district.

:18:57
That was before the war.
:18:59
About time you got back to the army,
General, where there's no back talk.
