Yes. Lucius.
:30:06
He'll be nearly eight years old.
:30:08
My son is also nearly eight.

MAXIMUS: I thank you for your prayers.
:30:22
MAXIMUS: Ancestors,
I ask for your guidance.
:30:26
Blessed Mother, come to me
with the gods' desire for my future.
:30:31
Blessed Father, watch over my wife and son
with a ready sword.
:30:36
MAXIMUS: Whisper to them,
I live only to hold them again.
:30:40
Ancestors, I honour you...
:30:43
and will try to live
with the dignity you have taught me.

MAXIMUS: Cicero.
:31:14
Sir.
:31:19
Do you ever find it hard to do your duty?
:31:24
Sometimes I do what I want to do.
:31:27
The rest of the time, I do what I have to.
:31:33
We may not be able to go home, after all.
