:37:03
Have you ever seen
such a sweet little creature?

:37:12
I can't believe you're carrying on like
this right in front of me!

:37:15
You female pile of shit!
I bought you at the slave market...

:37:18
I turned you into a human being!
:37:20
What are you talking about?
You bought me?

:37:22
Habinnas, take her statue
out of my mausoleum...

:37:26
Otherwise, we'll still be at each other
when we're dead.

:37:28
You battle-axe!
:37:30
You're old and ugly...take that!
:37:36
I built her a palace, but listen to her!
:37:39
She's puffed-up like a frog!
:37:42
But I'll make you bite your tongue!
:37:46
I love the boy because he's clever,
not because he's pretty.

:37:50
He already can divide by ten,
read a book on first sight...

:37:53
and he bought a chair for himself.
:37:55
Why are you still crying, you hag?
:37:58
Just remember you owe
all this luxurious living to me!

:38:01
I endured my master's advances
for 14 years.

:38:04
What's wrong with that?
The master gives the orders!

:38:07
I entertained the mistress, too.
:38:09
By the will of the gods I ended up
sharing the Emperor's inheritance.

:38:13
I built five ships and filled them with
lard, perfume, and slaves.

:38:17
That started my fortune:
:38:19
everything I touched turned to gold.
:38:22
I was a cockroach, now I'm a king.
That's life.

:38:25
Stichus, prepare my burial vestments
and ointment...

:38:29
and bring the wine for washing my bones.
:38:34
Life passes like a shadow..
:38:37
Sooner or later death
will come to us all.

:38:40
I just thought ofa poem.
:38:43
Listen...
:38:44
"On a stage a troupe performs a mime.
:38:48
An actor plays the father,
Another one plays the son,

:38:51
A third plays the rich man
But as soon as the show ends

:38:54
The pretend faces vanish,
The real ones return."

:38:58
How's that for poetry, eh, Poet?
