:26:01
Other countries have armies,
fine armies. I know, I fought them.

:26:05
Oh, no.
:26:07
No, it was fate that chose us
to civilize the world. And we have.

:26:11
Our roads and ships connect
every corner of the earth.

:26:15
Roman law, architecture, literature
are the glory of the human race.

:26:18
I believe in the future of my people.
:26:21
Of course you do.
And you can help them.

:26:25
How?
:26:28
You're an aristocrat.
:26:29
Your family's name is honored.
You're a prince to your people.

:26:32
You're rich and powerful.
Your reputation is stainless.

:26:35
They'd listen if you
spoke out against rebellion.

:26:38
Persuade your people that
their resistance to Rome is stupid.

:26:41
It is worse than stupid, futile!
:26:44
For it can end in only one way,
extinction for your people!

:26:53
I'm against violence.
Everyone knows this.

:26:55
I've spoken against it.
I shall do so again.

:26:58
Then we're agreed!
:27:01
Now, when can I come
to see your family?

:27:05
-We had hoped tomorrow.
-Good.

:27:10
And now for our toast.
:27:15
It's dreadful wine, by the way.
:27:18
It's especially fermented
for the Roman army.

:27:21
You're very cruel to your conquerors.
:27:28
It's an insane world.
:27:31
But in it there is one sanity:
:27:35
The loyalty of old friends.
:27:39
Judah, we must believe in one another.
:27:42
Will you drink to that?
:27:48
With all my heart.
