1:15:01
founded on the sanctity
of Roman marriage and family.
1:15:04
I happen to like women.
1:15:07
I have a promiscuous nature...
1:15:09
and, unlike these aristocrats,
I will not take a marriage vow...
1:15:11
which I know my nature
will prevent me from keeping.
1:15:14
You have too great a respect
for the purity ofwomankind.
1:15:17
Eхactly.
1:15:19
It must be tantalizing
to be surrounded by so much purity.
1:15:27
It is.
1:15:28
Now, let's miх business with pleasure.
How may I help you?
1:15:34
Great Gracchus,
I fii nd it diffiicult to hate...
1:15:37
but there's one man I can't think of
without fuming.
1:15:39
- Who's that?
- Crassus.
1:15:41
- You've grown ambitious in your hatred.
- Do you blame me?
1:15:45
There I was, better than
a millionaire in the morning...
1:15:47
and a penniless refugee
by nightfall...
1:15:50
with nothing but these rags
and my poor flesh to call my own.
1:15:52
All because Crassus decides
to break hisjourney at Capua...
1:15:55
with a couple ofcapricious,
over-painted nymphs!
1:15:58
These two daughters ofVenus
had to taunt the gladiators...
1:16:02
force them to fii ght to the death,
and before I knew what had happened...
1:16:05
revolution on my hands!
1:16:09
What revenge have you in mind?
1:16:12
I sold Crassus this woman,
Varinia.
1:16:14
- Whom?
- Varinia. May the gods give her wings.
1:16:18
There was no contract,
but she was clearly his slave...
1:16:21
as soon as
the deal was made.
1:16:23
Now she's off with Spartacus
killing people in their beds.
1:16:26
And Crassus--
no mention of money, no!
1:16:30
You never offered me
this woman. Why not ?
1:16:33
Well, she's not remotely
your type, Gracchus.
1:16:36
- She is very thin and--
- Look around you.
1:16:39
You'll see women ofall sizes.
1:16:43
Five hundred sesterces
deposit on Varinia.
1:16:46
Since he hasn't paid,
this gives me fii rst call over Crassus...
1:16:49
when she's caught and auctioned.
1:16:51
May the gods adore you!
1:16:54
Why would you buy a woman
you've never even seen?
1:16:56
To annoy Crassus, ofcourse,
and to help you.
