- Caesar.
- Gracchus.

:58:05
All Rome rejoices
in your return, Caesar.

:58:07
There are many matters
that require your attention.

:58:13
To order, please!
To order!

:58:16
For your guidance, Caesar, the senate
has prepared a series of protocols...

:58:21
to begin addressing
the many problems in the city...

:58:24
beginning with basic sanitation
for the Greek quarter...

:58:28
to combat the plague
which is already springing up there.

:58:31
So, if Caesar...
:58:36
Don't you see, Gracchus?
:58:39
That's the very problem,
isn't it?

:58:41
My father spent
all his time at study...

:58:46
at books of learning
and philosophy.

:58:49
He spent his twilight hours
reading scrolls from the senate.

:58:54
And all the while
the people were forgotten.

:58:58
But the senate
is the people, sire...

:59:00
chosen from among the people
to speak for the people.

:59:04
I doubt many of the people
eat so well as you do, Gracchus...

:59:08
or have such
splendid mistresses, Gaius.

:59:10
I think I understand my own people.
:59:13
Then perhaps Caesar will be so good
as to teach us...

:59:17
out of his own extensive experience.
:59:23
I call it love.
:59:25
I am their father.
:59:26
The people are my children.
:59:28
I shall hold them to my bosom
and embrace them tightly.

:59:30
Have you ever embraced someone
dying of plague, sire?

:59:40
No, but if you interrupt me again...
:59:43
I assure you that you shall.
:59:45
Senator,
my brother is very tired.

:59:48
Leave your list with me.
:59:50
Caesar shall do
all that Rome requires.

:59:53
My lady, as always...
:59:55
your lightest touch
commands obedience.
