:18:01
So softly spoken, so virtuous.
:18:04
She sleeps, I hear, fully clothed.
:18:10
I'm back. That's all
that should concern you.
:18:13
Should it?
:18:14
How long before your master snaps his
finger and you run back to him, or her?
:18:22
I have only one master.
:18:25
My love for you.
:18:27
No.
:18:29
Your master must not be love.
:18:32
Never love.
:18:34
Give yourself to love and you
give yourself to forgetfulness...
:18:38
...of what you are and who you are
and what you want.
:18:42
And what you want
is worth so much more?
:18:46
I will not have love as my master.
:18:49
- Then you will not have love.
- Nor will I have Octavian.
:18:54
- Never fear.
- How confident you are.
:18:58
And has Octavian a master?
:19:00
His ambition: To rule the Roman world
as emperor and god.
:19:04
The Roman world, to begin with.
:19:07
And what stands in his way?
:19:10
- You and I.
- And my son!
:19:13
The rightful heir to the name
and glory of great Caesar.
:19:16
Octavian has already stolen those
and he will now destroy...
:19:22
...in the name of his sister,
Rome's love for you.
:19:25
And by your marriage to her...
:19:27
...he has made of me, unmistakably,
your whore.
:19:31
Never fear Octavian?
:19:34
It is he, now, who I think
must be unafraid.
:19:43
Show me a city and I'll take it.
:19:46
I'll find an army's weak points
and hit them hard.
:19:49
But make me to sit down and talk
in whispers of this and that...
:19:53
...with an emphasis here and a shrug,
and I'm soon confounded and defeated.
:19:59
Meaning to do the best...
