:34:01
The council must grant dispensation
to leave during the festival.
:34:05
It is not the Spartan way
to neglect the holy festivals.
:34:10
Nor to neglect Greece.
:34:18
The alert order has gone to my bodyguard,
:34:21
who are not subject
to decisions of the council.
:34:24
All the other troops are waiting in their
quarters. Do not let them wait long, friends.
:34:37
Ellas.
:34:44
Let me look. Let me look at you.
:34:49
How handsome you are.
:34:51
The red war-cloaks are so becoming to men.
:34:54
This way no enemy
will ever see Spartan blood.
:34:56
Ellas, we may march tomorrow.
I must go to the king now.
:35:00
Yes, let us go. I've spoken to my aunt already.
:35:02
My father's gone
to the king's house and is waiting.
:35:11
Seems that all my life I've waited for just
this day. At last you're going to be my wife.
:35:15
- The wife of a real Spartan soldier.
- Just wait till I come back.
:35:19
I'll bring ten Persian slave girls
to wait on you hand and foot.
:35:23
Bring just one and you'll be a dead Spartan.
:35:31
Now, as soon as the council
proclaims a state of war,
:35:34
the whole army will come under my orders.
:35:38
While King Leotychidis,
:35:41
in accordance with the law,
will remain at home.
:35:44
Pentheus, son of Salas,
will be my second in command.
:35:49
I thank you for honouring me.
:35:52
- May I put forward a personal request?
- Of course, Pentheus.
:35:55
My daughter Ellas
is waiting outside with Phylon.
:35:58
He asks permission to speak to you
about a matter concerning both our families.
