: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.

:14:01
You dare ask the proconsul
of the Roman Empire...

:14:04
I asked it of Julius Caesar.
:14:07
I demand it of you!
:14:20
Now...
:14:22
...you may have the treaty
you asked for...

:14:25
...on the following conditions:
:14:27
By your authority
as proconsul of Rome...

:14:30
...you will cede to Egypt immediately
the following territories:

:14:34
Judea, Jordan, Armenia, Phoenicia,
the provinces of Sinai and Arabia...

:14:38
...the islands of Cyprus and Crete.
:14:43
You ask for one-third
of the Roman Empire!

:14:46
Put it another way.
:14:48
I give to you two-thirds.
:14:53
Most generous.
:14:55
I cannot accept.
:14:57
I suggest you deliberate further.
