1:13:02
l forbid you.
1:13:33
lt was funny at the time.
l wish he'd heard it.
1:13:36
How good you are to me,
if l may say so.
1:13:38
- You may.
- Thank you.
1:13:41
Don't just eye those birds.
Eat them.
1:13:43
There's no need to be
on your best behaviour here.
1:13:46
May l remind you...
1:13:48
you've been very good to me
in the past?
1:13:51
I've been good to you?
1:13:53
Yes. You've sold me slaves
at an extremely reasonable price.
1:13:58
And you arranged private gladiatorial
jousts at cost, or practically.
1:14:02
On the whole, you are both
ethical in business matters...
1:14:05
and certainly farsighted socially.
1:14:09
Zenobia's put on a little weight
since l last saw her.
1:14:11
- Yes, hasn't she? l like it.
- So do l.
1:14:15
You and l have a tendency
towards corpulence.
1:14:17
Corpulence makes a man reasonable,
pleasant and phlegmatic.
1:14:21
Have you noticed the nastiest
of tyrants are invariably thin?
1:14:27
ln spite of your vices, you are
the most generous Roman of our time.
1:14:31
Vices?
1:14:34
The ladies.
1:14:39
Ladies!
Since when are they a vice?
1:14:41
Perhaps l used the wrong word.
An eccentricity, a foible.
1:14:45
l hope l pronounced that word--
1:14:47
lt's well-known that even your groom
and your butler are women.
1:14:50
I'm the most virtuous man in Rome.
1:14:53
l keep these women
out of my respect for Roman morality.
1:14:56
That morality, which has made
Rome strong enough to steal...
1:14:59
two-thirds of the world
from its rightful owners...
