:45:02
- Lf only in gratitude...
- Perhaps she'll express it in person.
:45:05
Then let her come.
Am I so much less than Caesar?
:45:08
Nor she less than queen of Egypt
who you promised...
:45:11
Strip them naked,
they're no longer queens.
:45:14
It is also difficult
to tell the rank of a naked general.
:45:18
And generals without armies
are naked, indeed.
:45:22
All right. I'll meet her halfway.
:45:25
I'll send you to her.
:45:27
- Order her to come.
- Lf I order, I need not journey.
:45:31
- Then summon her.
- Even worse.
:45:33
Then beg, entreat,
find the word you like...
:45:35
...pour perfume, whinny like a stallion.
But see that she comes to me.
:45:40
I understand your position, Rufio.
:45:43
Surely you must understand mine.
:45:45
I do not intend to join
that long list of queens...
:45:49
...who have quivered happily
at being summoned by Lord Antony.
:45:53
But surely I didn't say "summoned."
:45:55
You said "invite." He meant "summon."
:45:58
In any case, I am the queen of Egypt.
:46:02
And I choose to remain
on Egyptian soil.
:46:05
Tarsus is not the other end
of the world, Your Majesty.
:46:08
If it were one step from Egypt,
that would be too far.
:46:13
I will meet with Lord Antony...
:46:17
...but only on Egyptian soil.
:46:21
My lady, a way must be found,
a time, a place to satisfy you both.
:46:25
Must it, Rufio?
