- General.
- Still alive?

:17:21
- Still alive.
- The gods must have a sense of humor.

:17:24
- The gods must love you.
- Valerius.

:17:26
Back to barracks, General?
Or to Rome?

:17:29
Home. My wife,
the son, the harvest.

:17:33
Maximus the farmer.
I still have difficulty imagining that.

:17:36
You know, dirt cleans off a lot
easier than blood, Quintus.

:17:40
- Here he is.
- Highness.

:17:42
Senator Gaius, Senator Falco.
:17:44
Beware of Gaius. He'll pour
a honeyed potion in your ear...

:17:47
and you'll wake up one day and all
you'll say is, "Republic, republic."

:17:50
Well, why not?
Rome was founded as a republic.

:17:53
Yes, and in a republic
the senate has the power.

:17:56
But Senator Gaius isn't
influenced by that, of course.

:17:58
Where do you stand, General?
Emperor or senate?

:18:01
A soldier has the advantage
of being able...

:18:03
to look his enemy
in the eye, Senator.

:18:06
Well, with an army behind you,
you could be extremely political.

:18:10
I warned you.
Now I shall save you. Senators.

:18:22
Maximus.
:18:24
I'm going to need
good men like you.

:18:29
How may I be of service,
Highness?

:18:31
You're a man who knows
what it is to command.

:18:34
You give your orders, the orders
are obeyed and the battle is won.

:18:38
But these senators scheme and squabble
and flatter and deceive.

:18:42
Maximus, we must save Rome
from the politicians, my friend.

:18:45
Can I count on you
when the time comes?

:18:54
Highness, when your father releases me,
I intend to return home.

:18:58
Home? Well, no one's earned it more.
