:18:02
With our supplies secure,
we can hold indefinitely.
:18:05
For a week, perhaps,
but for the time being, time enough.
:18:10
What do you want?
:18:17
Is the man to be trusted?
:18:20
Seems someone's brought me a gift...
:18:23
...from Queen Cleopatra.
:18:27
Apparently, a rug peddler.
:18:29
Flavius doubts it.
:18:31
He seems to know the palace very well.
:18:33
He appeared through a secret passage
which none of the men knew.
:18:37
Pothinus might send an assassin
in Cleopatra's name.
:18:41
Have the man brought in.
:18:58
Are you the one
who brings a gift from Cleopatra?
:19:02
Put it down and go.
:19:03
It is the command of my queen
I deliver her gift personally.
:19:07
I am Caesar. Lay it here before me.
:19:10
Forgive me, Admiral Agrippa,
but you're not Caesar.
:19:13
Nor you, General Rufio.
Nor you, Germanicus.
:19:16
My queen's gift is for
the eyes of Caesar...
:19:18
...alone.
:19:20
- It seems harmless enough.
- No, Caesar!
:19:23
You can lend me your sword, Rufio.
It may require some cutting.
:19:35
Odd way to carry a rug.
:19:37
Isn't it easier
to sling it over your shoulder?
:19:40
It was less comfortable that way.
:19:44
- For you or the rug?
- That sword, Caesar.
:19:47
The rug is such a delicate weave.
If I may untie it for you.
:19:51
Turn it over first.
:19:53
- The rug is right-side up.
- I want it the wrong side up.
:19:57
- Should I flip it over with my sword?
- No.
