There I was, better than a millionaire in the morning and a penniless refugee by nightfall...
Something wrong with the clip?
Quote
Batiatus:
There I was, better than a millionaire in the morning and a penniless refugee by nightfall with nothing but these rags and my poor flesh to call of my own. All because of Crassus decides to break his journey at Capua with a couple of capricious, over-painted nymphs! These two daughters of Venus had to taunt the gladiators, force them to fight to the death and before I knew what had happened, *revolution* on my hands!
Gracchus:
What revenge have you in mind?
Batiatus:
I sold Crassus this woman, Varinia. May the gods give her wens. There was no contract, but she was clearly his slave as soon as the deal was made. Now she's off with Spartacus killing people in their beds. And Crassus, no mention of the money, no!
Gracchus:
You never offered me this woman. Why not?
Batiatus:
Well, she's not remotely your type, Gracchus. She is very thin and...
Gracchus:
Look around you. You'll see women of all sizes. 500 sesterces deposit on Varinia. Since he hasn't paid, this gives me first call over Crassus.
Batiatus:
May the Gods adore you! Why would you buy a woman that you have never seen?
Gracchus:
To annoy Crassus, of course, and to help you.

and a penniless refugee by nightfall...
00:00:03.286 --> 00:00:05.538
with nothing but these rags
and my poor flesh to call my own.
00:00:05.622 --> 00:00:08.917
All because Crassus decides
to break his journey at Capua...
00:00:09.000 --> 00:00:12.337
with a couple of capricious,
over-painted nymphs!
00:00:12.042 --> 00:00:16.591
These two daughters of Venus
had to taunt the gladiators...
00:00:16.674 --> 00:00:19.761
force them to fight to the death,
and before I knew what had happened...
00:00:19.844 --> 00:00:23.999
revolution on my hands!
00:00:23.181 --> 00:00:25.266
What revenge have you in mind?
00:00:26.851 --> 00:00:29.104
I sold Crassus this woman, Varinia.
00:00:29.187 --> 00:00:33.001
- Whom?
- Varinia. May the gods give her wings.
00:00:33.108 --> 00:00:36.194
There was no contract,
but she was clearly his slave...
00:00:36.277 --> 00:00:38.446
as soon as the deal was made.
00:00:38.053 --> 00:00:40.907
Now she's off with Spartacus,
killing people in their beds.
00:00:40.099 --> 00:00:45.203
And Crassus--
no mention of money, no!
00:00:45.286 --> 00:00:47.455
You never offered me this woman. Why not?
00:00:48.707 --> 00:00:51.376
Well, she's not remotely your type, Gracchus.
00:00:51.459 --> 00:00:54.838
- She is very thin and--
- Look around you.
00:00:54.921 --> 00:00:58.979
You'll see women of all sizes.
00:00:59.426 --> 00:01:02.137
Five hundred sesterces
deposit on Varinia.
00:01:02.022 --> 00:01:04.848
Since he hasn't paid,
this gives me first call over Crassus...
00:01:04.931 --> 00:01:07.007
when she's caught and auctioned.
00:01:07.142 --> 00:01:09.999
May the gods adore you!
00:01:10.007 --> 00:01:12.105
Why would you buy a woman
you've never even seen?
00:01:12.188 --> 00:01:14.274
To annoy Crassus, of course,
and to help you.
00:01:22.999 --> 00:01:24.999
Fetch a stool, Antoninus.
00:01:30.999 --> 00:01:32.667
In here with it.
00:01:39.215 --> 00:01:41.999
That will do.
00:01:47.682 --> 00:01:49.768
Do you steal, Antoninus?
00:01:49.851 --> 00:01:51.077
No, master.
00:01:52.999 --> 00:01:54.999
Do you lie?
00:01:54.999 --> 00:01:56.816
Not if I can avoid it.
00:01:58.151 --> 00:02:01.529
Have you ever dishonoured the gods?
00:02:01.613 --> 00:02:03.999
No, master.
00:02:04.282 --> 00:02:09.012
Do you refrain from these vices
out of respect for the moral virtues?
00:02:09.001 --> 00:02:11.989
Yes, master.
00:02:14.001 --> 00:02:17.999
Do you eat oysters?
00:02:17.999 --> 00:02:19.422
When I have them, master.
00:02:20.131 --> 00:02:22.001
Do you eat snails?
00:02:22.999 --> 00:02:24.678
No, master.
00:02:26.346 --> 00:02:28.001
Do you consider the eating
of oysters to be moral...
00:02:28.999 --> 00:02:31.267
and the eating of snails
to be immoral?
00:02:33.001 --> 00:02:35.999
No, master.
00:02:35.999 --> 00:02:37.482
Of course not.
00:02:40.001 --> 00:02:43.113
It is all a matter of taste, isn't it?
00:02:43.196 --> 00:02:45.008
Yes, master.
00:02:45.001 --> 00:02:48.999
And taste is not the same as appetite...
00:02:49.998 --> 00:02:52.999
and therefore not a question
of morals, is it?
00:02:58.999 --> 00:03:00.088
It could be argued so, master.
00:03:03.001 --> 00:03:06.845
That will do.
My robe, Antoninus.
