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.

:28:02
And the wine.
:28:05
Yeah, that's something we'd really miss,
Reg, if the Romans left.

:28:08
Public baths.
And it's safe to walk
in the streets at night.

:28:12
Yeah, they certainly keep order.
They're the only ones who could
in a place like this.

:28:17
All right, but apart from
the sanitation, the medicine,

:28:20
education, wine, public order,
irrigation, roads,

:28:23
the fresh water system
and public health,

:28:26
what have the Romans
ever done for us?

:28:29
Brought peace.
Oh, peace! Shut up!

:28:44
I'm a poor man.
My sight is poor.

:28:46
My legs are old and bent.
:28:48
It's all right, Matthias.
:28:50
It's all clear.
