:32:02
- Oh, yes.
- What do you say to them?
:32:08
To my boy...
:32:11
I tell him
I will see him again soon...
:32:14
and to keep his heels down
when he is riding his horse.
:32:19
To my wife...
:32:22
that is not your business.
:32:32
And now they love Maximus
for his mercy.
:32:36
So I can't just kill him,
or it makes me even more unmerciful.
:32:41
The whole thing
is like some great nightmare.
:32:46
He is defying you.
:32:48
His every victory
is an act of defiance.
:32:51
The mob sees this,
and so do the senate.
:32:55
Every day he lives,
they grow bolder.
:32:59
- Kill him.
- No.
:33:03
I will not make a martyr of him.
:33:11
I have been told...
:33:13
of a certain sea snake...
:33:15
which has a very unusual method
of attracting its prey.
:33:19
It will lie at the bottom of the ocean
as if wounded.
:33:24
Then its enemies will approach...
:33:26
and yet it will lie quite still.
:33:29
Then its enemies
will take little bites of it...
:33:33
and yet it remains still.
:33:39
So...
:33:42
we will lie still...
:33:44
and let our enemies come to us
and nibble.
:33:48
Have every senator followed.
