:32:00
He is power,
real power on earth, not--

:32:05
Not that.
:32:09
Help me, Judah.
:32:13
I would do anything
for you, Messala. . .

:32:16
. . .except betray my own people.
:32:19
In the name of all the gods, what do
the lives of a few Jews mean to you?

:32:27
If I cannot persuade them, that does
not mean I would help you murder them.

:32:33
Besides, you must
understand this, Messala.

:32:37
I believe in the past
and future of my people.

:32:39
Future? You are a conquered people.
:32:44
You may conquer the land.
You may slaughter the people.

:32:48
But that is not the end.
We will rise again.

:32:50
You live on dead dreams.
You live on the myths of the past.

:32:54
Solomon's glory is gone.
You think it will return?

:32:57
Joshua will not rise again
to save you nor David.

:33:00
There is only one reality in
the world today. Look to the West.

:33:04
Don't be a fool! Look to Rome!
:33:05
Better a fool
than a traitor or a killer.

:33:07
-I am a soldier.
-Who kills for Rome and Rome is evil.

:33:10
-I warn you--
-No! I warn you.

:33:13
Rome is an affront to God.
:33:15
Rome is strangling my people
and my country, the whole earth!

:33:19
But not forever.
:33:20
And I tell you, the day Rome falls
there will be a shout of freedom. . .

:33:24
. . .such as the world
has never heard before.

:33:35
Either you help me or you oppose me.
You have no other choice.

:33:40
You're either for me or against me.
:33:48
If that is the choice. . .
:33:51
. . .then I am against you.
