He left a strange will, sir.
:53:04
Listen...
:53:13
"All those named as beneficiaries
in my will...
:53:16
except the freemen, will come into
possession of all I've left behind...
:53:20
on the condition that they rip
my body to pieces...
:53:23
and eat me in full view of everyone.
:53:25
I urge my friends not to reject
my invitation...
:53:28
but to devour my body with
the same enthusiasm...
:53:30
with which they sent my soul to hell."
:53:37
This is impossible...
:53:39
it has to be a joke.
:53:41
Why?
:53:42
In some cultures it's customary...
:53:44
for family members to eat their dead.
:53:48
In fact, the sick are often
blamed for their condition...
:53:50
because it makes their flesh taste bad.
:53:54
I'm not worried about
my stomach's rejection.
:53:57
It will follow my orders,
if in exchange for an hour of nausea...
:53:59
I'll always have plenty of riches.
:54:12
There are certainly many examples...
:54:13
The Segutines, besieged by Hannibal,
ate human flesh...
:54:17
and expected no inheritance.
:54:19
And when Scipio conquered Numanzia...
:54:22
they found mothers holding the gnawed
bodies of their children in their arms.
:54:28
As for me, I'm ready to comply.
