45 sesterces from me!
:09:05
For 60 I'll buy the boy.
:09:12
Sir, this boy is more than a wife.
:09:15
And what free citizen
would sell his wife?

:09:17
He's neat, he's wise.
:09:19
I always come home to a lighted fire.
:09:21
And I'm training him
in the great art of the stage.

:09:23
You'll see how well
he'll play female roles...

:09:26
Helen of Menelaus,
faithful Penelope, Cornelia.

:09:29
Such a treasure has no price!
:09:35
I'll give you what you paid for him,
and no more!

:09:38
Giton is leaving with me.
:09:42
No, never!
:09:51
Vernacchio, your behavior
has become intolerable.

:09:55
We've already punished you once
for joking about Caesar...

:10:00
but you continue to stir up trouble!
:10:03
Let the young man have his slave back...
:10:06
or tomorrow I'll burn down your theatre.
:10:08
It's not true that Vernacchio...
:10:10
Watch out, Vernacchio,
we're tired of your arrogance.

:10:13
Please, sir, I beg you,
don't destroy my theatre. I beg you!

:10:18
Vernacchio is meek,
Vernacchio is obedient...

:10:21
Caesar knows that!
