:26:34
We're gettin' in through the
underground heating system here,

:26:37
up through into the main
audience chamber here,

:26:40
and Pilate's wife's bedroom is here.
:26:43
Having grabbed his wife, we inform
Pilate that she is in our custody...

:26:46
and forthwith issue our demands.
:26:48
Any questions?
What exactly are the demands?

:26:51
We're giving Pilate
two days to dismantle...

:26:53
the entire apparatus of
the Roman lmperialist State,

:26:56
and if he doesn't agree
immediately, we execute her.

:26:58
Cut her head off?
Cut all her bits off.

:27:01
Send them back
on the hour, every hour.

:27:04
And, of course, we point out
that they bear...

:27:07
full responsibility
when we chop her up...

:27:09
and that we shall not submit
to blackmail.

:27:12
No blackmail!
:27:14
They bled us white, the bastards.
They've taken everything we had.

:27:18
And not just from us. From our fathers
and from our fathers' fathers.

:27:22
And from our fathers' fathers' fathers.
Yeah.

:27:24
And from our fathers'
fathers' fathers' fathers.
Don't labor the point.

:27:27
And what have they ever
given us in return?

:27:33
The aqueduct.
What?

:27:35
The aqueduct.
:27:37
Oh, yeah, yeah.
They did give us that.

:27:40
And the sanitation.
:27:42
Oh, yeah, the sanitation, Reg.
Remember what the city used to be like.

:27:45
Yeah, I'll grant you,
the aqueduct and sanitation are
two things the Romans have done.

:27:49
And the roads.
Well, obviously the roads.

:27:52
I mean, the roads go
without saying, don't they?

:27:55
But apart from the sanitation,
the aqueduct and the roads

:27:57
lrrigation.
Medicine.

:27:59
Education.
Yeah, all right. Fair enough.
