Short filmTranscript
00:00Don't forget you're not a dancer anymore, you're my slave and nothing else.
00:09What is it?
00:10Marcus Berenia's roof was asked to be received by your mistress.
00:13Let him wait.
00:14No.
00:15Show him in at once.
00:16I really couldn't let you leave for Naples without paying you a farewell visit.
00:36The hour's a little unusual.
00:37This is the first time a man has come so early to pay me a visit.
00:42Here, take the mirror and come back to lace my sandals.
00:45She's rather inefficient, but she'll learn.
00:51I wish you would do your work better.
00:53A slave should guess what her mistress wants.
00:56And now come on, lace up my sandals.
01:01She's difficult to train, but then slaves are really all the same.
01:06She seems to interest you.
01:08Have you come for me or...
01:09I'm afraid I'm rather repulsive, darling.
01:12Well, Ametius, could you really object to a man as handsome as Rufus?
01:16War is full of strange and sad happenings.
01:19In the heat of battle, it was my weapon that killed her father.
01:23It was really you then who killed the father, Ametius.
01:28Soldiers have their duty, I couldn't avoid it.
01:29I thought it was Spartacus.
01:32That coward?
01:33He'd faint at the very sight of a spear.
01:35When you kill, you need the heart and stomach of a soldier, not the soul of a miserable
01:39slave like him.
01:40He's receiving the treatment that he deserves for his rebellion.
01:44The dungeon, the chains, the flogging.
01:49Imprisoned and beaten, and it's all my fault.
01:55Forget this slave, he interests you far too much.
01:58For a slave to be in love is a thing I will never permit.
02:01He spoke the truth, and I refused to listen to him.
02:04Now that's enough, Ametius.
02:06My feet are much more important than all your foolish thoughts, and even than your existence,
02:10which is something that you must always remember.
