:16:15
Outside, all of you. Her Majesty
and I will speak in private.
:16:20
Out! Before I chop you up
and feed you to my horses.
:16:23
That's how Romans
frighten little girls.
:16:26
They like to frighten little girls.
Wait outside.
:16:41
I married Octavia
at her brother's insistence...
:16:43
...as a gesture of faith, of peace.
A bargain sealed.
:16:47
With a kiss? Or did you simply
shake hands on your wedding night?
:16:51
Rome was celebrating the marriage even
before I arrived. How could I refuse?
:16:55
By saying no.
:16:57
As you have said no to all my demands.
:17:00
They're unreasonable! The kind
laid down for a helpless enemy!
:17:04
You're not helpless... yet.
:17:06
I can't cede the territories. It would
cause a break between Rome and me.
:17:12
Why do you think
I asked for them?
:17:14
It would be playing
into Octavian's hands!
:17:17
It would not be wise!
:17:18
What is wise?
:17:20
To hand over Rome, Italy,
the world to Octavian?
:17:24
To grovel publicly
before his authority?
:17:27
Take his sister to wed and to bed.
:17:30
As if to beg forgiveness...
:17:32
...for having stayed so long
with your Egyptian harlot.
:17:41
What has angered you?
That I dealt with him how I could...
:17:44
...or that I married his sister?
:17:46
Jealousy or politics?
:17:48
Both! And damn you for not
understanding either.
:17:51
I wouldn't look to you
for instruction.
:17:53
Which is why you have come back
chained to Octavian like a slave.
:17:57
- Slave!
- And with such exquisite chains.
