:38:02
Right.
:38:05
You speak of home and retreat,
:38:09
but do you understand, Parmenion,
:38:14
..Babylon is my new home.
:38:18
Alexander, if we must fight,
:38:22
..do so with stealth, use your numbers well,
:38:25
we should attack tonight when they least expect us.
:38:30
I didn't cross Asia to steal this victory, Cassander.
:38:33
No, you are too honorable for that,
:38:37
No doubt influenced from sleeping with
tales of Troy under your pillow.
:38:42
But your father was no lover of Homer's.
:38:47
The lands west of the Euphrates handed over.
The hand of his daughter in marriage,
:38:51
..since when has a greek ever been given such honors?
:38:53
This are not honors, Parmenion. They are bribes!
:38:57
..which the greeks have accepted.. TOO LONG!
:39:01
Do you forget that the man who murdered
my father lies across the valley floor?
:39:05
Come Alexander, we are still not really sure
if it was Persian gold behind the assassination.
:39:14
Your father taught you never to surrender
your reason, to your passion.
:39:18
Now I urge you to regroup!
:39:21
Fall back to the coast, raise a larger force.
:39:24
I would.. if I were Parmenion.
:39:29
but I am Alexander.
:39:31
And no more than Earth has two Suns will Asia bear two kings.
:39:36
These are my terms, and if Darius isn't a
coward who hides behind his men,
:39:42
..then he will come to me tomorrow,
:39:47
And when he bows down to Greece,
:39:51
..Alexander'll be merciful.
:39:57
By Aries' chains he's got balls, Men!
