1:45:01
You are the slowest, and you can
run all day without tiring.
1:45:04
What? Yes, yes.
1:45:07
Yes, I love you too.
There's my good Antares.
1:45:11
Come, Rigel.
1:45:12
We've both supped well,
and the world is good.
1:45:16
There's my good Rigel.
1:45:19
Yes, you are ready for sleep.
1:45:23
The day's work done for you, eh?
1:45:27
Yes, well, you can go
to sleep in a minute.
1:45:29
Good night. Good night, my treasure.
1:45:33
Steady, Aldebaran.
I haven't forgotten you.
1:45:37
No. You are the swiftest,
but you must be steady.
1:45:43
Never seen finer horses, even in Rome.
1:45:45
You should see their mother, Mira.
1:45:47
I dare not bring her.
My people couldn't bear her absence.
1:45:50
All right, all right.
1:45:56
You are their friend, and they do
not give their affections readily.
1:46:01
Come, Antares, Rigel, it is late.
1:46:05
Altair, Aldebaran, go to sleep.
1:46:10
You must be strong and swift.
1:46:12
Go, my children. Go.
1:46:19
At Jerusalem, they'll race
the world's finest teams. . .
1:46:22
. . .and the champion of the East,
Messala, with his black devils.
1:46:26
He stops at nothing to win.
1:46:28
-Messala? ln the circus?
-Yes.
1:46:31
You knew him?
1:46:33
I know him.
1:46:35
Perhaps without much liking.
1:46:40
My people are praying for a man. . .
1:46:42
. . .to drive their team
to victory over Messala.
1:46:45
You could be that man, the one. . .
1:46:47
. . .to stamp his arrogance
into the sand.
1:46:49
My horses need only a driver
who is worthy of them. . .
1:46:53
. . .one who will rule them with love.
For him, they'd outrace the wind.
1:46:56
It's not possible.
1:46:59
That is a pity.
