:24:01
Rome will not declare war against you.
:24:04
I do not agree.
:24:06
I have not asked for your opinion.
:24:09
Not for some time.
:24:10
Not since I doubted the necessity
of building 300 ships.
:24:14
The way to prevent war
is to be ready for it.
:24:18
Have 300 warships ever been
built for war without war?
:24:21
We shall have what we want
without it.
:24:25
Your Majesty, please hear me.
:24:28
I think we are very near the edge.
:24:31
Strings are being pulled,
and not by us.
:24:34
We are being managed and maneuvered
without our choosing.
:24:37
The deputation sent on behalf
of Lady Octavia...
:24:41
...chosen from the most
highly revered men of Rome.
:24:44
Why? They can take back to their
people nothing but Lord Antony's...
:24:49
...forgive me, insulting and
unnecessary divorce of her...
:24:54
...and his rejection of them.
:24:58
It was done at my bidding.
The responsibility is mine.
:25:04
The doing was mine.
:25:09
What do you propose?
:25:10
Let me go to Rome and approach
Octavian, possibly the Roman people...
:25:15
...and assure them that we want peace.
:25:19
Go then.
:25:22
Go to Rome.
:25:35
Sisogenes!
:25:39
Take care.
:25:46
He's very dear to you.
:25:48
Your concern and worry
are written all over you.
:25:51
Forgive me, but it's a kind of love
that you're showing.
:25:54
Let them talk. Let them
negotiate all they want.
:25:58
Time is on our side.
We can only grow stronger.
