If... When you return to Rome...
:58:03
...these wars that have to be fought
on the way, are they important?

:58:07
Well, there's no such thing
as an unimportant war.

:58:10
I've been reading in your commentaries
about your campaigns in Gaul.

:58:15
How does my writing
compare with Catullus?

:58:18
Well, it's different.
:58:21
Dull.
:58:22
Perhaps a little
too much description.

:58:25
You're being tactful.
Some of my critics, Brutus, for one...

:58:29
...tell me my Latin is not only
ungrammatical, but common.

:58:33
You spared his life more than once.
:58:36
People say it's because
Brutus is your son.

:58:40
Is that true?
:58:42
I have no son.
:58:44
- Calpurnia, your third wife...
- Fourth.

:58:47
...married to you how long?
12 years?

:58:51
And still, Caesar has no son,
no child at all.

:58:54
It is well-known that
Calpurnia is barren.

:58:58
A woman who cannot bear children...
:59:01
...is like a river that is dry.
:59:04
I see no purpose in discussing
the subject further.

:59:08
A woman, too, must make
the barren land fruitful.

:59:12
She must make life grow
where there was no life.

:59:17
Just as the Mother Nile feeds
and replenishes the earth.

:59:23
I am the Nile.
:59:29
I will bear many sons.
:59:32
Isis has told me.
:59:36
My breasts are filled
with love and life.

:59:40
My hips are rounded
and well apart.

:59:45
Such women, they say...
:59:47
...have sons.
