1:14:06
We were friends once, Glycon.
1:14:09
l know.
1:14:11
l suppose l should blame myself
for what has become of you.

1:14:14
When l put that sword in your hand
it killed more than Dardanius and the others.

1:14:18
lt killed you.
1:14:20
l hope you sleep well, sir.
1:14:24
Good night.
1:14:40
Demetrius?
1:14:42
Demetrius.
1:14:44
Demetrius!
1:14:58
So, the mob can jeer me in the Forum,...
1:15:02
..tear down my statues.
1:15:07
Where were the guards
when these sacrileges were committed?

1:15:10
Sire, my men were under arms all night, but
we haven't enough to patrol the entire city.

1:15:14
Are you insinuating
that the entire city is against me?

1:15:18
- Sire, there's a shortage of grain...
- And l must take the blame for that, too?!

1:15:22
There's a shortage because
l've emptied my treasury for the guards.

1:15:26
They take my gold
and give me nothing in return.

1:15:31
These are my orders:
1:15:33
one more desecration of this sort,...
1:15:35
..one more unpunished
insult to your emperor...

1:15:39
..and every tenth man in the guards
is to be crucified at the city gates!

1:15:43
Post that at the guards' headquarters!
1:15:45
Sire, not the guards.
Your power depends on their goodwill.

1:15:49
- Don't publish such an order.
- l'm the emperor!

1:15:52
l can do what l please with whom l please!
1:15:56
The lady Messalina, sire.
1:15:59
Show her in.
