2:21:05
And now. . .
2:21:07
. . .the question you're asking:
2:21:08
Why am I here?
2:21:11
As you know, I am a gambling man.
2:21:13
The games approach.
2:21:14
I am racing my whites against the
noble tribune's undefeated blacks.
2:21:19
I will back my own poor horses.
2:21:21
No limits?
2:21:39
-Mark me first!
-And me!
2:21:41
-What odds?
-A moment, please. . .
2:21:43
. . .my lords, protectors
of the far flung marshes.
2:21:46
May I first sit down?
2:21:47
Sit. How much will you wager?
2:21:49
-Yes, let's call his game.
-Give the Arab a seat.
2:21:52
A bench, quickly.
2:21:55
Thank you.
2:22:00
-Now.
-1 000 denarii.
2:22:02
-2000!
-Mark me!
2:22:04
Your spirit does you credit, but do
not be impatient. There is time.
2:22:09
First gentlemen, the odds.
2:22:13
The tribune has won many times. The
odds should be in the same measure.
2:22:17
What is your pleasure, gentlemen?
2:22:20
Two to one.
2:22:23
Noble Romans, men of the Tiber,
masters of the Earth. . .
2:22:28
. . .where is the courage
that made Rome master of the world?
2:22:31
I can get better odds
on any street market.
2:22:35
Three to one.
2:22:36
Let us not haggle. Let us be fair.
2:22:39
In four years, the tribune has won
four victories in the circus.
2:22:42
-In all truth--
-Just a moment.
2:22:45
We know you have good horses,
but who is your driver?
2:22:51
Did I not tell you?
How careless of me.
2:22:55
The Prince of Hur.
2:22:58
Judah Ben-Hur.
