:02:00
The legendary and elegant Cleopatra.
:02:03
Enough!
:02:07
I'm saying Egypt's culture
isn't all that great...
:02:12
There were good times of course.
:02:15
I'm just saying the current people are decadent.
:02:19
And that Egypt is merely a Roman province.
:02:21
A "province"!
- Yes...
:02:24
Until further notice, o Caesar...
:02:27
...it's not the Romans
that build the great pyramids.
:02:31
Those pointy things?
- And the sphinx?
:02:34
And the tower of Pharos? What do you think of that?
:02:37
That's old news.
- Yesterday...
:02:40
...or today, my people are superior.
- In fact your people are...
:02:44
...Greek, and I know better
true Egyptians.
:02:47
Enough!
:02:51
I can prove to you, o Caesar...
:02:54
...that my people are still brilliant.
:02:57
Yes? How? Painting portraits?
:03:01
No, by building a palace.
:03:04
I already have a palace in Rome.
:03:06
You'll get one in Alexandria too.
So when you visit the "province"...
:03:10
...you'll have somewhere to sleep.
But it will be bigger...
:03:15
...and more luxurious
than all other palaces.
:03:19
Bigger than "Caesar's Palace"?
I'd like to see that...
:03:23
You will see.
:03:25
Rome wasn't built in one day.
When will it be finished?
:03:29
Three centuries from now?
:03:31
Three months.
:03:34
Three months?
- Three months?
:03:36
Three...
- ...months?
:03:37
Within 3 months you'll have your palace.
:03:40
It'll never be finished in time.
:03:44
But fine,
I accept the challenge.
:03:46
If you make it, I'll publicly admit...
:03:48
...that your people
is still brilliant. But I have my doubts.
