...but the library is burning.
:38:07
The great library.
:38:24
Aristotle's manuscripts.
:38:28
The Platonic commentaries,
the plays, the histories.

:38:33
The Testament of the Hebrew god.
:38:35
The Book of Books.
:38:42
- Wind blew into the merchant shipping.
- Four burned and sank right here.

:38:46
- And our ships?
- Safe and dry.

:38:48
Prisoners are surrendering in droves.
I need help.

:38:51
- Not one man. I may need your sailors.
- Halt!

:38:56
Take your hands off me!
:39:05
You should attack my guards more
often. Battle seems to become you.

:39:09
You grow more beautiful
each time I see you.

:39:13
And you grow bolder.
:39:15
And busier.
:39:16
- Actually, we're extremely busy...
- Do you smell smoke?

:39:21
We found it necessary
to burn the Egyptian fleet.

:39:24
The ships were in the water.
:39:26
Did you find it necessary
to burn them in the streets?

:39:29
Merchant ships caught fire.
:39:31
The burning masts fell.
Some houses...

:39:33
One of them, the great
Library of Alexandria.

:39:37
Yes, I've been told.
I'm extremely sorry.

:39:40
- Now, if you don't mind, I must ask...
- I do mind.

:39:43
Are you putting the fire out?
:39:45
We're forming prisoners
into fire brigades.

:39:48
Oh, I see. Romans only start fires,
is that it?

:39:52
Have you left the nursery
to come irritate the adults?

:39:55
Another time, we're working.
:39:57
- Shall we remove her for you, Caesar?
- Use Roman genius for destruction.
