- 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.
