:39:01
Crassus, it's so boring.
:39:08
l believe that girl smells
of perfume.
:39:10
Whatever it is,
she smells most delectable.
:39:14
You can't keep slaves from stealing
these days unless you chain them.
:39:18
When a slave's as pretty as she is,
she doesn't have to steal.
:39:21
An arrangement is made.
:39:23
lf her ankles are good...
:39:26
you could be sure
an arrangement was made!
:39:31
- Master!
- Good heavens, a catastrophe!
:39:34
- I've been anointed!
- You trollop!
:39:36
- l believe you did that on purpose.
- lt was an accident. Come here, girl.
:39:45
Don't be frightened.
:39:47
- What country are you from?
- Britannia.
:39:50
How long have you been
a slave?
:39:55
Since l was thirteen.
:39:59
You have a certain education.
:40:01
My first master had me tutored
for his children.
:40:10
l like her. She has spirit.
:40:14
- I'll buy her.
- Buy her, Your Magnificence?
:40:17
l have spent
quite a lot of money on her.
:40:19
Yes, I've no doubt of it.
Two thousand sesterces.
:40:22
Two thou--
She'll be waiting at your litter.
:40:24
No, l don't want her feet
spoilt by walking.
:40:28
Send her to Rome with your steward
the next time he has to go there.
:40:31
He leaves tomorrow
and the girl with him.
:40:33
More wine.
And thank your gods!
:40:37
You provoke me, Crassus.
l shan't be nice to you any more!
:40:40
- Why distress me so much?
- You're horribly rich.
:40:43
Yet you're the only one
of my brother's friends...
:40:45
who hasn't given him
a wedding present.
:40:51
l was saving it
for a more suitable moment.
:40:55
Here. Give it to him, child.
:40:57
What is it?
:40:59
As from this moment, your husband
is commander of the garrison of Rome.
