:32:01
There is the danger
he might guess.
:32:03
Wouldn't it be best
to kill him?
:32:11
They say that
Marcus Aurelius...
:32:13
...when his wife desired
to enjoy a gladiator...
:32:15
...gave her his blood.
:32:18
But Roman remedies are
not for us Christians, surely.
:32:22
True, Teodoro.
Now there's no such thing...
:32:25
...as a Lucretia, a Torquatus
or a Virginius.
:32:27
In those days, Teodoro,
they'd Faustinas...
:32:30
...Messalinas and Poppeas.
:32:34
Write me a memorandum
on the matter.
:32:40
I'll leave you to it.
:32:48
Oh, Heavens!
:32:50
I've fallen!
:32:52
Why are you staring?
:32:54
Give me your hand.
:32:58
I feared to offer it,
out of respect.
:33:04
How gracious and how gauche
to wrap it up.
:33:07
As does Otavio,
when you go to Mass.
:33:10
His is a hand I don't desire.
An ancient hand...
:33:13
...a hand that should be
shrouded like a corpse.
:33:17
To make one wait...
:33:18
...while you wrap up in silk
is to waste time dressing...
:33:21
...if a friend is attacked.
:33:23
When you arrive...
:33:25
...he's dead.
:33:28
In any case,
how can it be proper...
:33:31
...whatever petty protocol
prescribes...
:33:33
...for a hand...
:33:35
...if honourable...
:33:39
...to hide its face?
:33:46
I'm conscious of your
condescension.
:33:51
When you're an old retainer,
wrap it in your cloak...
:33:55
...but now you are
my secretary.
:33:58
That's to say, you should
keep my fall secret...
