Alexander

1:23:03

Aristotle be damned!

1:23:05

By Zeus and all the gods,

1:23:06

What makes you so much better than them, Cassander?

1:23:11

Better than you really are, in you and those like you is this.

1:23:17

Alexander.

1:23:21

What disturbs me most is not your lack
of respect for my judgement,

1:23:27

..It's your contempt for a world far older than ours.

1:23:45

And so ten years after his mother's
insistence he marry a Macedonian,

1:23:50

Our union, Greek and barbarian,

1:23:53

The most powerful man in the world,

1:23:56

..took a girl of no political significance. Why?

1:24:08

Some say it was for alliance with the tribes.

1:24:13

Others, the desire for a successor,

1:24:17

And yet others said Alexander truly fell in love.

1:24:24

Who Roxane really was,

1:24:25

I doubt that any of us ever saw further than
the pools of those black eyes.

1:24:33

Alexander. Special for you!

1:24:43

On this glorious occasion,

1:24:47

I toast this great army that has given so much,

1:24:50

And in honor of them, those of you who
set out with us seven long years ago,

1:24:54

I pronounce, all your debts paid forthwith from the royal treasury.
