:14:01
As we all know, when the father
of both Ptolemy and Cleopatra died...

:14:05
...he named the two of them
to rule jointly over Egypt.

:14:09
Rome was appointed their guardian
and the executor of his will.

:14:13
I have come in the name of Rome to ask
why Cleopatra has been deposed...

:14:17
...to resolve the differences
between her and IKing Ptolemy...

:14:21
...and to see that they peacefully
resume their joint rule of Egypt.

:14:25
That will be difficult.
Cleopatra has forfeited her right.

:14:29
I shall try to decide justly.
:14:31
Don't you see he'll send for her?
He'll bring her back!

:14:34
The sun which sheds its grace
upon the ruler of the two lands...

:14:38
...burns too brightly perhaps.
:14:40
If Lord Ptolemy wishes to retire...
:14:42
I wish nothing of the kind!
:14:44
I won't be put out of the way
until I've watched you give him that!

:14:50
A thousand pardons,
I had almost forgotten.

:14:53
Lord Ptolemy wishes to enhance his
welcome by a gift of some importance.

:14:58
Most generous.
:15:01
The ring. Give him Pompey's ring.
:15:14
And now the token of
His Majesty's affection for Rome...

:15:18
...and regard for Caesar.
:15:33
Pompey the Great.
:15:39
Dead men, they say, do not bite.
:15:43
Does it please you, Caesar?
:15:45
They said it would
please you very much.

:15:50
The sun does shed its grace
too brightly.

:15:54
It has become too hot here for kings.
:15:58
My Lord Ptolemy will retire.
