LUCILLA: My father favours you now.
MAXIMUS: My lady.
:28:16
- It was not always so.
- Many things change.
:28:20
Many things. Not everything.
:28:25
LUCILLA: Maximus, stop.
:28:30
Let me see your face.
:28:35
LUCILLA: You seem upset.
MAXIMUS: I lost many men.
:28:38
What did my father want with you?
:28:41
To wish me well before I leave for home.
:28:45
You're lying.
:28:46
I could always tell when you were lying
because you were never any good at it.
:28:50
- I never acquired your comfort with it.
- True.
:28:52
But then you never had to.
:28:55
Life is more simple for a soldier.
:28:59
Or do you think me heartless?
:29:02
I think you have a talent for survival.
:29:09
[Chuckles]
:29:11
Maximus, stop.
:29:14
Is it really so terrible seeing me again?
:29:17
No. I'm tired from battle.
:29:20
LUCILLA: It hurts you to see
my father so fragile.
:29:26
Commodus expects that my father will
announce his succession within days.
:29:31
Will you serve my brother
as you served his father?
:29:35
[Soft instrumental music]
:29:37
I will always serve Rome.
:29:40
Do you know...
:29:42
I still remember you in my prayers.
:29:46
Oh, yes. I pray.
:29:53
I was sad to hear of your husband's death.
I mourned him.
:29:58
- Thank you.
- And I hear you have a son.
