:12:01
Domitius turned away at the gate.
:12:04
That makes how many?
:12:06
Five of your ambassadors
turned away within this year.

:12:09
- Lf you'd gone when...
- It was the only favor I ever asked.

:12:13
You granted it.
:12:15
The treaty with Egypt must be made.
We've received no wheat, no gold...

:12:19
I cannot go to her
to negotiate a treaty!

:12:22
She'll have no one else.
:12:25
And what if she should...
:12:27
...turn me away?
:12:30
That would be quite impossible.
:12:36
Have you ever really left her?
:12:40
No.
:12:56
Three days I've waited
for an audience with you.

:12:59
What is the purpose?
:13:01
Get out, all of you.
:13:03
- You're before the throne of Egypt.
- I know!

:13:06
State your purpose!
:13:07
Matters I won't discuss publicly.
:13:09
I do not grant private audiences
to unidentified persons.

:13:15
I am Marcus Antonius.
:13:18
I know who you are.
What are you, at the moment?

:13:22
Envoy of Rome, proconsul of all
the Roman Empire to the east of Italy.

:13:27
An impressive title.
:13:29
Worthy, perhaps,
of a private audience?

:13:31
Without a treaty of alliance
with Egypt...

:13:34
...you could not hold the territories
under your command. True?

:13:39
Possibly.
:13:40
Then, Lord Antony, you come before me
as a suppliant.

:13:44
- Lf you choose to regard me as such.
- I do.

:13:47
You will therefore assume the position
of a suppliant before this throne.

:13:52
You will kneel.
:13:55
- I will what?
- On your knees.
