2:38:44
l've more stripes on my back
than a zebra!
2:38:47
Every time l touch my wounds...
2:38:50
they sing like larks.
2:38:53
But in spite of that,
l think l've found something...
2:38:55
- l never had before with all my wealth.
- What is that?
2:38:59
Don't laugh at me,
but l believe it to be dignity.
2:39:02
ln Rome,
dignity shortens life...
2:39:04
even more surely than disease.
2:39:07
The gods must be saving you
for some great enterprise.
2:39:10
You think so?
2:39:12
Anyone who believes l'll turn informer
for nothing is a fool.
2:39:16
l bore the whip
without complaint.
2:39:19
Yes, indeed, that sounds
like a bad attack of dignity.
2:39:22
l hope, however,
this will not deflect you...
2:39:25
from the revenge
you were going to take on Crassus.
2:39:27
No, on the contrary.
lt only strengthens my resolve.
2:39:30
l'm glad to learn that.
2:39:35
This woman Varinia is in his house.
All Rome knows about it.
2:39:38
Malicious tongues even say...
2:39:40
that he's in love
for the fiýrst time in his life.
2:39:47
l noticed a strange look in his eye
when he fiýrst saw her.
2:39:50
lt would take a great woman...
2:39:52
to make Crassus
fall out of love with himself.
2:39:55
l'll be honest with you,
Gracchus.
2:39:57
She's not as unattractive
as l told you she was.
