All language subtitles for Toto and Cleopatra 1963_FaSubrip_UTF-8

Following the assassination of Caesar,
who was suspected of planning

to declare hlmself
king and emperor,

The government of Rome, tryln to save
the Republic, was taken over by a triumvirate.

It was made up of Octavian,
Lepidus and Mark Anthony.

The latter, a vallant general,
was given control of the Eastern lands,

The richest ones,
and the most difficult to govern.

Immediately,
he set off with his powerful army.

He subdued, and conscientiously stripped,
every country that he passed though.

And In order to save the Republic,
he seemed to be destined

to become klng
and emperor himself.

Except that, In the lands
of the East, was Egypt.

And when the great general, a soldler In
one piece, was at the gates of Alexandria...

Hail.

Hall Enobarbus, so then. Where
is Cleopatra, isn't she with you?

Llsten to me Anthony,
Cleopatra didn't want to come.

She didn't want to come,
and you tell me so just like that,

you should have dragged her
here by force, those are my orders.

Yes Anthony, but listen

I wont llsten to anything. . Is that clear.
There is no pity for the enemies of Rome,

we came down here to brlng order
and justice, and that Cleopatra dare.

But I beg you
to curb your anger.

I don't want to curb myself.

But llsten to me I beg you.
It's not the way you think.

Cleopatra sald that a meeting
with you in the field among

the hay for the horses and
the bivouac left-overs wouldn't

be worthy of your lofty rank.
She wishes to receive you,

poor llltle thlng, In her royal
palace, with all the honors

due to a man like you.

She has prepared
great festivities for you.

She has one to the temple
for a propitiatory rite.

Oh... Anthony... Anthony...
if you had seen what she was...

what she was on those cushions...
beautiful in clouds of perfume

she was dressed like Venus...

Listen to hlm... lust listen to hlm... .
You're getting childish in your old age.

I understand, she's bewltched you too,
see how stupid you are, she was

dressed llke Venus, Venus didn't
go around dressed, she went

around in the nudel...

That's right.

Leg'; go right away.

Hail.

The protector, the Ilberator of the East,
the triumvir of Rome, Mark Anthony.

Well, you said that they would receive
me with the honors due to my dignity,

that Cleopatra was waltlng for me
with open arms, and instead

there's no-one here... Huh?...

I don't understand...

You never understand anything.
Who does this Cleopatra think she is,

now I'm golng to show her
who Mark Anthony is... . Praetoriansl

Calm down Anthony... calm down...
in the East the queen is a Goddess,

you could start a riot...

Let them rlot... Praetorlans... .
search the palace from top to bottom,

dlg out Cleopatra, and dra her
to my feet dead or alive.

Divine Anthony

Most noble among men, I beg you,
calm your wrath,

the queen Cleopatra
is at your feet.

And are you supposed to be
the queen Cleopatra, stop kiddin boy,

It's true that Caesar had
some pretty strange tastes...

But I know this isn't the case...

I am Apollodorus, humble counselor
to her majesty the Queen.

Ah, so you're the humble counselor
to the Queen? Well then, go to her

and counsel her to come
here right away, or else...

What happened...
Did you put out the light?

Not me

Who did it?

But... What's going on now...

It must be her, the Queen.

I see an ostrich...

Hey, they're not havlng
the carnival of Viareggio, no? huh?

Noble Anthony,
the lady of upper and lower Egypt,

the daughter of the sun
and of the moon salutes you,

why don't you come closer.

You are only Egypt,
Oh seductive daughter of the sun

and of the moon and I represent Rome
and therefor the world, I should

move towards you.
Know, oh Cleopatra that I have already

conceded a lot to you by brlnglng
the weight of my glory

and my power this far.

Pardon your humble slave, Anthony. .
I was only thinking that Rome and

the world would also have been
more comfortable seated than standing up,

that glory and power shlne
just as well on a sofa.

Just as ajewel shlnes better In a
precious case than when left on the floor.

How well she speaks...

Cleopatra... listen, Rome standing
sitting or in any position ii

feels llke belng In,
accuses you.

I, Mark Anthony, In name of reat Rome,
have come to oppose you and I do oppose you.

Darn, how good thls one Is.
Now what will I oppose her...

Tell me, oh Cleopatra, I have been told
that you go around dressed like Venus,

But I thlnk that you are even
over-dressed to be a Venus.

Is It
a question of censorship?

Ah, noble Anthony, If you only knew
how much Venus would have liked to

meet her Dionysus,
as you are called.

Who Is this Dionysus,
by Bacchus.

But Anthony, I know that to other
people more fortunate than us, you,

Anthony, have appeared In the vestments
of the god of joy and of rapture,

dressed only
in a grape vine.

Well... to tell the truth, dressed
only in a grape vine I look

pretty good... It depends on one's bulld.
I'm a tree trunk.

And to me Instead,
you have appeared as an enemy.

Now, let's not exaggerate... thank you,
I really shouldn't accept, but good manners

force me to accept... thank you anyhow...
anyhow... prosit...

Don't drlnkl... .
Carmiana... You drink...

What ls It? By Bacchusl. .
what's going onl

Understand?
She would have done me in.

On the contrary, to prove
to you that I am a friend.

Oh yes?

You can drlnk. I know, I know that
in Rome they say that I took advantage

of Caesar, how can they say such a thlng,
I have always been wronged,

I have been denied whole provinces,
for example Cyprus.

Cyprus?

Yes, it's an island.

Excuse me, I'm a llttle dumb
in geography, where is this Cyprus?

Here.

Not really

In my heart

Really?

Llsten, llsten how It beats just
to hear the name Cyprus.

Ahl land of my ancestors,
only for dreams and for love!

And Rome took It
away from me.

What ls It,
what were you saying, excuse me...

Phoenicia also.

- Phoenicia?
- Yes

Another island?

No, a luxuriously flowery region.

And where is it?

A llttle further
down from Cyprus.

- Really?
- Yes.

But look where
this one has provinces...

Golng south towards Judea
and Judea also... ah...

how many lands,
how many lands...

Phoenlcla, some parts of Judea
already under the dominion or

the protection of Rome, lven to Cleopatra,
the last descendant of the abominable

Ptolemalc dynasty. Thls, dear senators,
is the work of the triumvir Mark Anthony.

Maybe no-one knows that whlle
the people are suffering he is

growing soft
among comforts and riches.

And I guarantee that whoever has seen
him describes him

as completely unrecognizablel

I say
that we should nationalize!

Who do you want to nationalize?

Honorable colleagues, be calm,
let's talk about Anthony.

Yes, let's talk
about Anthonyl

The triumvir Octavian speaks

Unfortunately, very recent news
direct from Alexandria confirm that

everything that ls belng sald about
Anthony, is true, as a matter of fact

there's more and worse. Following
certain skirmishes on the boarders,

he decreed a triumph
for himself alone in Alexandria.

He has fought and he has won.
It's only right that he triumphsl

But the triumphs were always held
in the capital of the empire!

Slnce when
is the capital Alexandria!

The capital is Rome.

No, If Anthony wants to triumph,
I propose that the senate decrees

that the trlumph be held In Rome.
That way, everything will be in good order.

We'll draw hlm to Rome wlth some honey.
Better, with a double dose of honey!

Because I have decided to glve Anthony
my sister Octavia as a bride,

you'll have to admlt that my slster Octavla
has every argument to make him forget Cleopatra...

I put my proposal to a vote.
And I beg you to decide quickly.

Nlght ls falllng and my leglonnalres
who are waiting for me outside may be cold,

I wouldn't want to be forced to make
them come in here.

L'm very fussy
about their health.

Octavlan's proposal
seems excellent to me.

Perfect, subllmel
Hurray for Octavian!

Those In favor ralse their hands!
Octavian's proposal

has been unanimously approved.

I swear
I don't understand you.

It's well to establish the fact that
the heads of the triumvirs are not

to be touched. Remember that yours
is also a triumvir's head.

But Fulvla?... .
Anthony's wife...

It wlll be
easy to convince herl

That one...
with the character she's gotl

My beloved has abandoned me... .
I hope they kill him,

I hope he drowns In the Nlle
when he's drunk...

and that a crocodile eats hlm up... .
Here, pussy, here,

some of Anthony's flesh...

Mistress, mistress
the triumvirs Octavian

and Lepidus ask to be received...

All right... let them come In...
let them come in...

let them come right in.

Hail Fulvia.

Hail.

Hall, nutsl I know everything!
Nice conversations in the senate...

Nlce proposals... lwould really
like to know what Scribonia

your wife thinks of all this

Scrlbonla Is no longer my wlfe,
I repudiated her to marry Drusilla.

Then you're all the same, then
from now on instead of saying

fllthy plg
it's enough to say triumvir.

Fulvla please... try to understand
. politics...

Ahl You call It polltlcs,
do you... Well, look, seeing

how things are
I consider myself a widow.

See that you look at lhlngs my way
after all... if you consider yourself

a wldow, It means that you have under-
stood that by now for you Anthony is...

No, I consider myself a wldow
because the minute I get my hands

on him I'll kill him.

And what wlll
you have gained by that?

Nothing, I'll get
a little meal for my pussy-cat

And I'll loln
in that meal gladly

Ahl No Publla,
you at least should have some sensel

I don't like Anthony!

But don't you thlnk that It would
be better for your daughter to be

legally repudiated, for my slster Octavia,
with alimony than to be abandoned

for Cleopatra
without a red cent.

Don't you thlnk of your country?
Your country it asking a sacrifice of you...

It will repay youl

It's the country who pays.

People. . "bye, bye". .to everyone...
I'm hailing you, no?

But why do you stamp your feet
on the ground so, you vulgarian,

you see that you hurl yourself,
you said ouchl you awful soldier youl

Abandon yourself to the sweetness
of this music, to the perfume of vice,

of lasclvlousness, of orgies...
Cleo... bye bye... comment allez-vous')...

Uhhl What an lntoxlcatlng
smell of bacchanall

A modest bacchanal Egyptian style
in your honor, my adored Anthony.

Always bacchanal Egyptian style,
they never have a little bit

of a bacchanal alla llvomese...
this one's good...

Enjoy llfe because someday
soon you too will be like this.

Go drop dead! Listen Cleo,
listen when you invite people

to enjoy themselves, can'! you have
happier discussions... I mean...

Maybe you would llke the head of
an enemy of yours? Octavian's for example?

Don't say such foollsh thlngs. .
l'm not afraid of Octavian!

As far as I'm concerned Octavian ls stlll
a baby, a chick in waddling clothes,

a beardless llttle trlumvlr. . ls that clear?
What do I care about what he says or

what he thlnksl
Come to your Mark Anthony!

Ouchl Darn It! And who could It be. .
himl Caesarion, son of Caesar, Come here!

Forgive hlm, Anthony, he's a llttle boy,
a little imp, a little lively...

Ah. Yes, he's a llvely Ilttle Imp?
So he hit me in the back with this cup?

But Cleo,
if he wasn't your son...

How delicate you are, so what ls It...
How come, a warrior like you, a little thing

llke thls. You're certainly
not going to say that I hurt you?

It's not a question of belng hurt,
it's a question of respect!

My position!

It was exactly
the right position!

Llsten to how Impertlnent thls boy Is, how
dare he hit the noble backside of a triumvir.

Is that noble too?

That's understood, extremely noble...
when they make a person a triumvir,

he's a trlumvlr all over,
from his head to his feet,

Top, bottom, back and front,
is that clear?

You were made noble, I'm the son a a queen,
therefore I'm noble from birth,

and I can do anythln I llke
to a triumvir like you,

I can even
ride you horseback...

Cleopatra, llsten to your son?
He wants to ride Mark Anthony

horseback...
Have we gone crazy?

Llsten, you had better stop It or
I'll send you to Octavian in Rome

and he'll eat you up allve... and If
you don't stop acting like

a delinquent l'll
give you a spanking.

Mama, Mama he hit mel

- Who hlt you?
- Youl -I

You're a liarl

He's a brute,
he's a brute!

Calm down, calm down.

I'm afraid, I'm golng
to sleep near you tonight

There, you see? Promise that
tonight I'll sleep in your room

But Caesarlon, at your agel
To still sleep with your Mama,

You're not
a baby any morel

Your mother's rlhtl
You're not a baby any more.

And he's not
a baby either!

What are you
saying Caesarion?

All rlght I wont say any more,
but now you'll make me a general.

Ahl We're back to thls story agaln.
I've told you no a thousand timesl

And it's nol

Well, you sald no because I was a baby,
but now you said that I'm not a baby any more.

Anto' you'd better make up your mlnd, huhl
If I'm a baby I'll throw things at you

and sleep wlth Mama, If Instead I'm not
a baby any more, you decide... . Good-nightl

Llsten Cleo, we've got to get the bugs
out of your little imp': head, because

I'm not maklng hlm a general...
I won't... I won't

Well than,
whafll we do?

What'll we do?
Meanwhile stand at attention.

Ah kld, I'm as much of
a general as you are.

I could have you made corporal
any time I like! Understand?

At your command

Let's attack!

Let's attack what?

The enemyl Right?

But what enemy?, we're not at war,
we're at peace, thank Jove

There, you see that you're not a general.
Go look for any enemy and have him losel

Hey, waltl
There he is!

But those are Romans!

So what, don't tell me thls would be
the first time that Romans fought Romans!

Leglonnalres, I'm offerlng one hundred
sestertii, if you bring me those there!

Hey! I offer one hundred sestertl per head!
Give it to him... go on... crush them...

attack them...
murder them...

Oh, l'm a senator, I'm an amasador
from Rome... Be good!

Calm down!
You've gone crazy.

What paln,
how it hurts!

It hurts a lot?

A lot

Ah, poor Naso, poor Naso, what can you
do about it? You have to be patient, you have

to plty hlm and forglve hlm, he's a llttle Imp
who's a bit lively, an exuberant little boy,

but on the other hand we mustn't forget that
he's Caesar's son, and therefor leadership

and war are In thls boy's blood,
they're in his blood.

And you, my noble Mark Anthony,
you even justify that son of a...

Ahhhl you awful tongued Roman!
Son of Caesar, you have to say.

Maybe. Certainly Ilstenlng to you and seeln
you decked out like that, one would think

that your slanderers
in Rome are right.

Ah, they're slanderln me? and what
are they saying,

let me hear
what they are saying

They say... they say that the thlrd
support of the world has become

the laughing stock
of a gypsy woman.

Those Romans
have to stop that!

Ah, belleve me Anthony, It wasn't easy for me
to plead your cause in the senate against

everyone, you had everyone
against you, Octavian for the first.

And that's why I haven't declded yet
to go back to Rome. I wouldn't want

them to recelve me In the senate
the way they received poor Caesar...

remember? What
a lot of flapping around!

Don't worry, you'll be received
in triumph, and then what better

guarantee than the fact that Octavian
is offering his sister to you as a bride.

And there's the catch!

You wouldn't want
to give up yourtriumph in Rome!

No, no I llke the Idea of the triumph,
I'll go, triumph and come back,

It won't take me long, I'll rush over
and come back more powerful than before

and I thlnk that Cleo
will also agree with me on this.

Cleo? Who's Cleo?

What do you mean,
who's Cleo? Cleopatra.

And you call her Cleo?

It's a pet name, what can you do,
we're in a refined court,

we're not in the suburbs.

I've noticed that. Well, Anthony,
whether Cleo likes it or not,

you absolutely must come to Rome,
and marry Octavia, othenuise what

must I do? Go back all alone and say
that you don'! give a damn about

the senate or Octavian or his sister.

Noble patrlclans, I have an Idea,
we'll only tell Cleopatra

that blt
about the triumph, huh?

But that's not possible, the marriage
with Octavia has a political value,

the whole world
most know about it.

Just a mlnute, llsten Anthony, come here,
I'm with you as far as the triumph

Is concerned, but not the marriage.
Also because I think that Anthony

shouldn't leave Cleopatra's beauty
for just anyone like Octavia,

and then I thlnk that you don't
like her... Isn't it true that

you don't
like Octavia, Anthony?

No, no on the contrary, I llke Octavia.
As a matter of fact, let me tell you

that I was spooning
over her for a year.

What dld you
do for a year?

I was spooning

Ah, you were
spooning for a yeafl

Octavia Is young... fresh,
Nobarbus, I'll eat Octavia up!

- I didn't understand, what?
- I'll eat Octavia upl

- You'll do what? - Are you deaf
or what? I'll eat Octavia upl

Ah, you'll eat her upl

- Now who's golng to tell her?
- Ah, not mel

And you're so afrald of a womanl
I'll talk to the queen.

Am I or am I not
the ambassador from Romel

Bravo Naso, that's rlghtl
There is no penalty for the bearer

of bad news... I'll go wlth you...
Let's gol

Walt 'tlll you see what a greetlng
you'll get from Cleopatra, Nasol...

She ls a very reflned lady, gentle,
tactful full of grace!

After all,
she's a queen

- Cleo?
- What is it?

A frlend ambassador
has to talk to you.

But let hlm come In, I am glad and
happy to receive him...

You heafl She'll be
happy to meet you. Go...

Are you coming too?
- I'll come later, go... go then. .

The amphora - the mlrror -
- the brush - the big vase

- the llttle vase - the Etruscan vase
- the Pompeian vase - the water vase

- the day vase
- the chamber pot is missing...

There it isl

Bravo Nasol Now that Cleopatra has
used up all the lances, I'll go in.

Were shall I put it?

In the dust bln... .
My treasure...

And now go to Rome... like this!

Darn It, I forgot the flsh bowl... .
l'mmm... I'm drowning... a fish in my mouth...

You understand that Egyptian cow.
She lets him come here, she acts so properly,

thlnklng that the more Important Anthony
becomes the more there will be for her to snatch.

But I'm going to play a nlce trlck on her
and him and that other dirty pig, Octavian...

Fulvlal We gave Octavlan our word, I wouldn't
want to break it, I hope, think also

of your own best interests.

We wont lose a sestertlus. Everything
will be proper. You remember Totonno?

That half-brother of Anthony's
who is living in exile in Capua?

Who, that bum?

We have to go rlght away and flnd hlm
and bring him here.

It won't be hard to convince him.

You know that he
is forbidden to enter Rome.

Because of that face,
right?

But don't you understand that
that's exactly what we need.

Hear me, hear me, hear me... come on,
come on, this way sirs... we have

glrl slaves, llttle lrl slaves and
big girl slaves, samples, highest quality

merchandise, wholesale or retall...
Ah... oh... could you make the jaguar?

I wish I could.

Hey you, listen here

Look... . at this

But... you hear
the noise it makes?

0f course, It hasn't moved for a month,
give it a little grease job

and you'll see
that it goes very well.

I hope so, I'll try.

Boy, he expects an awful lot!

- Manager, manager.
- What is it?

You remember, a few days ago
I bought this one here, Flavia.

So, You're not golng to tell me that you
haven't been satisfied with Flavia, I hope?

Not satlsfled? Very unsatlsfled,
as soon as I touch her,

she goes around In circles
and hits me on the head.

Hovis that, let me see

Look...

I felt it.

No, It's I who felt It. You have to
take this one back, I don't want it

any more. You understand,
I don't want it any more?

Young man, take It easy, don't get fresh,
understand, once the merchandise leaves

the store we don't
accept any complaints.

There he ls, thlef,
scoundrel, swindler.

Hey, hey, young man, so what
is it? These, what are they?

Why, aren't you a thlef, a swlndler,
a robber, wasn't it you who sold me

these very strong gladiators?

And so, aren't they
very strong gladiators?

But I wanted Thracians.

That's right, I'm sorry, I'm sorry,
I made a mistake, instead of giving you

Thraclan slaves
I gave you five Phrygians,

however you were born
with a silver spoon in your mouth,

you're lucky.
- How come?

Phryglans are golng llke hotcakes,
in Rome they fight over them.

But I don't glve a darn about that,
you tricked me and so if you have

anythlng to say In your defense
you'll explain it in court. Let's go.

Let go of me, let go of me,
you don't know who I am,

I've got relatives
in high places, you know.

Instead, we know very well who you are,
this isn't your first swindle,

we've had an eye
on you for a long time.

If you've had an eye on me, that
means you haven't been seeing straight,

I can't leave the store,
I've got the slaves in there...

Yes, take hlm away, he swlndled me too,
go on, and if I you want a witness

In court, l'll come.
Thief, swindler.

Let go, let go of that man, I am
the wife of the triumvir Mark Anthony,

I hope you recognize me.
I come on my husband's behalf.

Fulvla, my beautiful slster-ln-Iaw,
you're as welcome as cheese on macaroni.

I told you I had
relatives in high places.

So then, pay.

Here, I hope it's enough.

Beggar.

I have to Inform you that thls llttle
guy has other troubles in these parts.

All right, hail.

I'll take
the responsibility for him.

And I'll take
the responsibility for her.

My beautiful awful
sister-in-law how can I repay you,

do you want a slave at half price? Do you
want a nice gladiator who does everything,

he's a slave, better
a big slave very suitable for your mother.

- Oh what are you saying, Totonno?
- For your sister? - Nol

We want you.

We want you to come
to Rome with us right away.

Oh no? to Rome? to Rome?
ah, ah, do you think I'm crazy.

Watch out, I can Ive you back to
the guards and I can tell them

about a few
other talents of yours.

Hail Octavian.

Hall. Where's Anthony? Don't tell me
that he's changed his mind that...

Rome says to Naso, brlng Mark Anthony,
and Naso brings Mark Anthony,

and I won't
mention the pain.

Mark Anthony's? - No, mlne.
- But where?

It's gone, I was
all black and blue.

But no Mark Anthony.

Ah, hls wife's got hlm, she was
waiting for him at the gate

in front of her villa in Tuscolo.

She blocked the way.

Ah, ls It possible...
that Fulvia's playing a double game.

But, my treasure, you don't have to
make excuses, I understand only

too well what the polltlcal
demands of your new position are.

Wlse Fulvla, wlse, I'm happy to see
that you are beginning to understand

what it means to be a triumvir.

Ah, of course I do, you are
a perfect trio, I said so to Octavian too.

Really?

And Instead, what can I say, I have
remained the simple woman I used to be.

That's bad, thafs bad, wlfe of mlne,
one has to keep up with the times,

I say keep up wlth the tlmes,
time flies.

And I Instead, have remalned stlll;
and then, how would I look beside you,

so reflned, at tlmes
even a little too much.

Llsten, I've thought It over, I don't
feel like being a substitute for

Mark Anthony, and then I see that every
once in a while he has those motions.

Llsten, you have any cholce, remember that
you're in Rome in spite of the ban,

therefore It's elther death
or the place of the divine Mark Anthony.

Ah no, tonlght you dlne wlth me,
I've made you some lamb alla gladiator.

Oh, how vulgar...
how disgusting lamb is.

Don't you llke It any more?
It used to be your favorite dish.

Now Fulvla wlll glve hlm
a sleeping potion and as soon

as he's asleep you go...
you present yourself to Octavian.

And I say to hlm, Good day,
Octavian, I'm Mark Anthony ha... . ha.

There's some cavlar,
some champagne?

No, But have a good glass of wlne
from the castles, it will give you a lift.

You think so?

0f course.

You find me a little down.

Ah... to your triumphs,
to your loves.

- Cln, cln... . .
- Cin, cin...

Dear colleague, hail.

Look who's here.

Darn hlm, now
he's going to ruin everything.

What ls he,
a policeman?

Dearest Otto, how are you?

Otto?

Otto? That's the dlmlnutlve of Octavian,
I could also call you little Octavian,

but it's not appropriate.

Octavian?

Are you crafl?

I am very pleased, you know,
I see you're in good shape.

Ah thank you,
but you are also.

Ah yes, In all modesty I get by, I've
gotten by up to now, and I'll get by yet...

But come and drink something with us.

Thank you.

Oh how clumsyl

It's good luck,
it's good luck.

I'm sorry.

- Cln, cln.
- Cin, cin.

All rlght, all right,

Honored gentlemen, colleagues,

Hail Mark Anthony.

Good day to everyone.

Hall Anthony,
the people of Rome cry hosanna.

- Really?
- Yes.

In Rome they know?

Hosanna, hosanna,
and they acclaim you.

In you we salute a hero, In the hope
that you will be able to enslave

many countrles, enslave thelr people
and even enslave their rulers.

If It's for enslavlng you're lnvltlng me
to a wedding, that is my profession.

But tell me, ls It true
that they know in Rome.

- They know.
- They know all?

- In Rome.
- And?

In Rome they
always know all.

- They know all?
- All.

The mlnute you do something, the word gets
around, as a matter of fact

I knew a lrl that... well,
I'll tell you about it later...

Mark Anthony wlll you
bring us Cleopatra as a slave?

And who Is he?
What does he want

No, no, he doesn't want anything
it's Rome who wants it.

It's Rome who wants
the Ptolemaic queen as slave.

- Ptolemalc?
- Yes.

- Pla de' Tolomel?
- Not Pia. Thing... That one...

- The Two Sergeants?
- No, not The Two Sergeants, no.

- The Bllnd Glrl of Sorrento?
- Not the Blind Girl of Sorrento.

- I've got It, the woman who delivers
the bread. - No, the Ptolemaic queen.

Ah no, I've not read that one. I read
a lot of Salgari, I enjoy him a lot.

Anthony, let's not exaggerate,
are you trying to make us believe

that now you don't
remember Cleopatra any more, huh?

Ah but are you
talking about Cleopatra?

That's rlght, what's the matter,
don't you remember her?

Ah, yes
it's a friendship of mine

And you tell It to our faces
that she's a friend of yours.

Well, not really a frlend, but well,
she's a “girl friend...

I met her In Rome,
in the night Club, Roma Night.

What are you talking about?

Octavian, don't pay any attention to hlm,
everyone talks like that in Egypt.

But she has
to be his enemy.

Gentlemen, no more arguments,
let's drop these discussions.

Cleopatra must
be forgotten on this day ofjoy.

Now thls really
is man talk.

Let's forget about Cleopatra
and think about Joy.

Who's Joy?

Who's Joy?

I don't know,
who is Joy?

You sald
"on this day of Joy"...

I said on this day ofjoy...

- Who?
- Joy.

- But you're really stubboml
- Octavian, your sister

Here is Octavia!

She's better than Joy.

- You stlll flnd her beautiful
- Ah, I should think so...

- Go, meet your brlde... .
- Shall I go? - Gol

- I'll go Ilke a flash!
- 0f course!

- Watch out because I'm vlolent... . .

Mark Anthony isn't here?

And and and and... who am I?
Aren't I Mark Anthony maybe.

And what a hunk
of Mark Anthony I am.

I am glad that you are
no longer the Mark Anthony of Egypt.

See?
I was right.

The change In you warms our hearts.
These are the words

we wanted to hear from you.
But can we be sure?

What do you mean? He offends me,
why maybe I'm a liar? How dare he.

But I, but I would llke
to give him a beating, I'm nervous

Ah, ls that the way Anthony
speaks to the Triumvir Lepidus?

- What? ls he a trlumvlr too?
- Well... yes.

- Let me see your papers.
- What papers?

Show me
your identity card.

But, what? The Identity and ddlndlnde...

joined up against me, have you?
Bride-to-be Octavia?

- What?
- Bride-to-be Octavia.

And you don't say anything?

Of course not, It's not an Insult...
don't get excitedl

He calls her brlde-to-be... .
and you don't react...

- It's nothlngl
- Anthony, Anthony calm downl

You're rlght,
I've got my annor on...

Calm downl

If I didn't have my annor on I'd make
a slaughterhouse here, a slaughter house.

Calm down,
calm down, please.

Ifl didn't tremble, but I tremble...
bride-to-be, but are you a bride-to-be...

Oh nol

- And what does brlde-to-be mean?
- I don't knowl

As soon as I flnd out, and someone
tells me what bride-to-be means

I'll make
a slaughter house.

- Stay wlth Octavla.
- Bride-to-be.

Don't compromise yourself,
I'm with you. Now that we have

Anthony In our hands It'll be easy
for us to get rid of him and

then we two wlll
be the rulers of the world.

Yes.

Dear Anthony, I understand that
you were joking, Here's my hand...

Your permission Octavia?

- 0f course.
- Excuse me, huh?

What is it?

Don't trust Octavian,
ally yourself with me.

If we joln forces It'll be easy
to get rid of him... . and then

we two wlll be
the rulers of the world.

Really? ls that
the custom among triumvirs?

You know very well that there Is no
room for three in the government of Rome.

There's no room for three. .
So then let's do this,

two wlll sit and one
will remain standing

Oh no... to wln
two aces are enough...

- Flrst...
- The ace of clubs.

- Then the ace of hearts.
- No two aces of strength.

Understood?

- Then you and I are aces?
- I understand.

All right, I'm comlng rlght away.
Excuse me Octavia, huh?

I'll be rlht back,
Listen to me: I don't like that one.

But don't worry about hlm, anyhow
we're going to get rid of him.

- Really? - Ally yourself
with me and we two together...

- Wlll be the rulers of the world.
- That's rightl

The people of Rome!
The Italian newspaper, the Messaggerol

The people of Rome
cry hosannal

And If the newspaper men know It,
brother we're stuck.

We'll all
wind up on the blotter.

Anthony, the people
want you on the balcony.

Now let's not start that balcony
business, balconies are bad luck.

No dear. . go triumph... and then
come back to me,

I'll wait for you in my villal

I'll go, triumph and come rlght back.
Whafll it take me?

A jlffy. That's right,
let's go towards the peoplel

But Is It really necessary to go
towards the people?

Why don't we sklp the second part
of the celebration?

I've got to go and
celebrate with your sister.

But the people
are acclaiming youl

But are you really Interested In the people.
Do you really care about the people?

- No, I don't care, but lt's polltlcs.
- Oh yes, that's right, politics as usual.

That's right.

People... . people...
I'm coming right away!

To you, oh Mark Anthony,
the well deserved laurel leaf.

People of Romel...

Octavian.

- What do you want?
- Half a pint! - Right away!

Hurry up, ah... ah...

How can you dream of holdlng
a triumvir prisoner and not

belng punished for It?
Rome is waiting for me.

Octavian must be looking for me.
Poor guy! He prepared

the triumph for me,
he prepared it.

And also his llttle sister Octavia, right?
Big flies like you are attracted with honey,

that's what Octavian sald to the senate
when everyone was shouting:

Death to Anthony! The dagger of polsonl
And he said, let's attract him

to Rome with some honey.

- Really?
- And then...

So that's what he sald.
The damned pig...

Oh, I should throw hlm rlght
into Cleopatra's arms... you go...

But If he ls so much In love wlth you
it means that he has forgotten Cleopatra.

And to be able to return to your arms
he will subjugate Egypt

as qulck as a flash. That's
my plan working out marvelouslyl

Plans, always plans,
my brother-in law.

Wlth one plan on top of the other
you'll wind up on the Attic.

I'm glad to find you In good health,
but it's true that you're

no longer
the softie Anthony of Egypt.

But who is this Anthony of Egypt?

- It's you, Isn't It?
- It's me? -lsn't it?

- No, you sald It Isn't.
- No, I'm saying you're another person.

Ah yes,
I am another person.

Ah, truly unrecognizable!
Full of vigor, of life and

from what I see also
blessed with a wonderful appetite.

They say that you get an appetite
by eating, but it's not true,

you get an appetlte by not eatlng.
Where is the egg, how many times

do I have to tell you that
I want a little egg for breakfast.

But, but of course Anthony,
right away.

These women, something awful.
I'm used to sucking an egg for breakfast.

- Really? - Here lt ls, ah... ah...
It's fresh isn't it?

Today's.

- What are you dolng?
- I'm thinking...

- What are you thlnklng about?
- I'm thinking about the chicken, poor thing.

But what does a chlcken have to do
with it, if it's an ostrich's egg.

And the ostrich too...

Let me get out of here.

In the plaza, alone wlth the people
and you'll realize it, you willl

Go ahead. The door is open...

My Ilttle pussy cat
is there standing guard...

That one...

0h, all rlght, go out, o ahead out,
but remember that outside of here

you mlght meet up wlth an ambush
in the shadows, a dagger in your back,

You would be one triumvir too much.

By all the gods on Olymplusl
S. P. Q. R. l and you, Fulvia

are able to take part
in such a betrayal,

Anthony, as a trlumvlr you had
already destroyed Cleopatra:

I only wanted
to try to save my Anthony.

Oh no, I don't want to go to Egypt,
I'm staying here,

I'll be here for Easter
and the summer holidays.

But you must gol You're the only
one who can subjugate Cleopatra.

- Where shall I put her?
- Under.

- And wlll she stay there?
- Oh, Anthony...

Anthony,
don't act nanve...

But, excuse me, lfyou care
so much about this Cleopatra,

go and subjugate
her yourself, 0K?

Ah, that's
what I told him tool

Octavia, let us talk, these are
serious matters, affairs of state.

Oh all rlghl, oh all rlghl,
I'll leave you, if you need me,

I'm In there, l'm going to Ile down
awhile on the bed because I'm so tired...

- Damn ltl... .
- Where are you going?

But didn't you hear
what your sister said?

That she's tlred and
she's going to lie, own on the bed?!

But what's that
got to do with you?

- Ah, she's my better half... .
- But she's tired.

And what If my half ls tlred too?
What do you know about it?

Anthony, llsten to me, It's for
your own good. You know that

the senate has condemned you
to death as a traitor to your country,

well then, I was the only one who
saved you, and I couldn't do it again...

What is this...

Your head,
Anthony, your own head.

- My head? Wlll they cut It off?
- Yes.

All rlghtl You wlll stay here, then.
And die here!

I also know how to be bad,
you know. Very badl

She put the beast to guard.
As if I were afraid of that little beast.

Imaglnel I have the courage
of a lion, ll Hey, no jokes, huh?

Let's not joke! Beast! Well then?
You know who I am? I am Mark Anthonyl

I am a hero, a brave, a warrlorl
Oh, but we should give

a meatball to thlsl
What a bad temper you have!

Don't worry about It. You o to Egypt
and make all the Egyptians slaves of Rome.

- Egyptians? Slaves?
- Slaves.

- Shall I brlng them to you?
- Of course.

How much wlll
you pay me apiece?

Ah what a strange bargain... .
we'll get together on it.

You know I don't want any nonsense...
I'll bring you the slaves,

you glve me the sestertll,
and I'll retire to private life.

Very well.

I'll have to leave you, because

I'm golng to let the other
half rest with your sister.

Go on, my dear,
Go right ahead, go...

An urgent message

But ls It possible

Well, then, I'll tell them, he...

Anthony

L'm saylng that you're disgusting.
By the way, tell me where miss Cleopatra is?

The Queen is on the throne!

What, she dares to slt on the throne
without my pennission? And then,

when she sees me she has to jump to her feetl
Because I'm a triumvir, understand?

A trlumvlr. Jump, jump.
lam insulted, I'm leaving.

But Anthony,
you can't go away just like that!

Why not?

We prepared
a little party for you!

Go ahead and prepare the llttle party.
The orgies have to stop, vice has to stop!

Now I'm here and I'm your punlshmentl

Ouch, Mama!

We prepared

I don't Ilke the usual one.
Who's she?

A slave.

She's half a slave.

A little slave.

She's a tlny slave. However,
I'll choose the apartment myself.

N'est-ce pas?
Let's go.

Scoundrels, swindlersl

They salute you.

Why, do they know me?

Are you kidding?!

They called me a salaml. Comfortable,

Out, everyone out...

Woe, If anyone wlll tell

Calm down, Mama!

And you too.

I can't understand you, Insulting me

The alr In Rome plays

Octavlan's alr

Octavlafls, dld you say?
Or Octavids?

No woman

But you know It. Anthony ls a bl fllrt,

Cannianal

Yes my Queen.

Brlng all my cosmetics, all my perfumes,

Get out of here!

Who ls It? Alanns, who goes there...
Ah is it you? Why did you interrupt my dream?

Get out of here,
I saidl

Just a mlnute, young lady, If anyone
has to get out of here it's you.

Understand? And I would llke to know
who gave you the permission

to come
into my apartment.

Thls ls my room and you know It;
You should know itl The bed is mine.

Thls bed. Thls sort of superantlque?
Anyhow, anyhow, I've requisitioned it

because I am the conqueror... Imagine,
I went all over the palace

to find a soft bed.

0f course It's the softest, and also
the warmest;

but there's no room In
it for any Octavia, even in a dream!

Ah... ah... that's what you say!
lfyou hadn't interrupted us,

Octavia and I were geltlng along
very well in a dream...

Who knows where
we would have ended up?

Tony mlne, Tony dear...
But what is the reason for

all thls playactlng?
Your presence here contradicts

all of your words...
Tony... Tony...

And don't call me Tony any more,
it bothers me to be called Tony...

Understand? Glve up? Oh... . I
What did I do, after all?

I took the wron bed. Why, In your
whole life, didn't you ever take

the wrong bed? You understand me, right?
After all, ifyou like this bed so much

because It's roomy and therefore
suitable for you to rest your nose on...

Ahl What dld you say?
Fresh! Ill bredl

Ha... your nose ls popular, It's known
in Rome and everyone talks about it,

your nose ls better known
than the pyramidsl

Ah, what are you saying?

Big nose!

Wretch... . wretch...

What's goln on,
my queen?

No man has ever treated me Ilke thlsl
Maybe I'm no longer beautifuW...

You're more beautiful than ever.
It's Anthony who... I don't know,

I can't understand It,
he isn't himself any more...

He must payl
He has insulted me, he must payl

All we need ls a "yes" a little “yes"
from your divine lips...

and the Insults
will be washed away in blood.

All right, yes...
I say it.

If he no longer wlshes to be mlne,
no-one will have himl

- Who are you?
- How dare you.

Do you
understand anything?

Mlrror, look at my nose and tell me
that it isn't true... ah, why don't

you answer me, mlrror? Speak... mlrror...
tell me that the Romans are wrong...

but answer me mirror... . . I

Cuckoo... guess who I am?

Ahl Help... I
An attemptl Help!

But Cleo, by the gods, don't you

recognize me? It's me, your treasure,
who's come back! Look at me.

Ahl Are you here again? You shouldn't
have bothered to come back, how dare you?

But Cleo,
I don't understand you.

It's I who don't understand you,
First you go away the way you did,

now you come back wlth that beard!
You're erratic and a clown.

Cleopatra... Cleopatra... If thls beard
could only speak... If you only knew...

A queen doesn't
listen to a beardl

But It Isn't the beard
that has to speak, it's me dear...

You've already
spoken too much!

But I haven't said a word!

You didn't say a word, huh?
You didn't say anything?

And where
will you put my nose?

I don't know, wherever you llke you tell
me where I should put it and I'll put it.

No... no...
I'm talking about my nose.

Ahl your nose, but you know that
I adore it, it gives you personalityl

Yes, you love It,
so then I'm no longer a big nose!

Don't say such foollsh thlngs, of course
it's not a big nose, anything but,

If there's a blg nose around here,
it's me, look

You insulted me.

I say... I didn't think
I was insulting you... I was joking.

Ahl You call it joking?

Ah... how come you've become so sensitive...
Cleopatra, by Jove Plubius...

by all the gods, tell me the truth,
maybe you don't love me any more?

You're asklng me that?
After the way you acted?

Oh come on, don't be angry at me,
try to understand, I had to act that way...

In splte of myself... Rome... the Intrigue...
Octavian... the darks plots in the palaces...

The love you
say you bring me

must be very small; and your fear
of Octavian very great.

Ah... ah... my fear of Octavian...
but I don't fear him, Octavian,

because I want
to set off the bomb.

What do you mean?

What do I mean. Octavian Is peaceful,
he already thinks he's the emperor,

how eluded he is.

And so?

And so, look well at me, Mark Anthony
and Cleopatra married, and we'll make

an emplre on our own.
That's the bomb.

Oh Tony! ls that
the way you feel?

Of course!

When wlll
all these nice things happen?

Tomorrow.

Then you repudiate yourwife?

There's no need to repudiate her,
a leopard friend of hers

has eaten and digested her.

Ah... Then I've really found my
Mark Anthony again,

handsome and strong
as he was before.

Llsten Cleopatra
will you give me a kiss?

Of course!

And then thls ls just barely,
just barely a preview! I'll go,

They were 10, now they're 8l
You stole them!

I sald the green toga. You're upset
and careless, you are getting old,

you're more upset
than a part time maid.

I'm not your mald. I'm a soldier,
I'm a Roman patrician. I come here

to your rooms to speak to you about
business of state...

and you're thinking about togas.

I'll take care of It, I'll put It on
in the bathroom where there's

a long mlrror. And then you'll
drape it for me but be careful!

I hate hlml I hate hlml If It wasn't
for Cleopatra, I'd hand in my resignation.

- Barbettal
- Enobarbus.

Enobarbus, Barbetta they're halr
either way, but listen, I... ah...

But why are you
looking at me like that?

You are putting
the red toga on.

What do you care about
what togas I wear?

Yes I care, because I would Ilke to
know something... green, red, red, green!

Are you cracking up? Boy, just look at
the kind of lieutenant I had

to wlnd up wlth. Well... .
I'm going out to have some fun...

i'm going to have a good time
in the "Roman Night" of Alexandria!

At the Night Club!

Aren't you golng
to Cleopatra?

To Cleopatra of Egypt! I'm goln
to see the strip tease.

I was forgetting the best thlng:
The gravy. The gravy goes to war!

But then It's true, he doesn't love her
any more, he's leaving her...

Be brave, Enobarbus, although your legs
may tremble. You go to Cleopatra.

She'll need
a few kind words...

But you... you...

Well?

You have you come back?

L've come back. I have washed,
and I have come back. Can you smell

the fragrance of my skln? Smell!
Ah... . That's right you don'!

Understand anything. Oh llsten,
don't wake me tomorrow morning.

And when would you
like to be woken up?

What day is today?

Monday.

Wake me,
wake me Saturday night.

Why?

Because I want this nlght of mlne
with Cleopatra to be eternal.

But Anthony.

Well, so long!

Just a mlnute, just a minute,
stay calm, stay calm Enobarbus,

stay calm and level headed...

He sald Cle... Cleopatra... the red toga...
huh... it's enough to drive one crazy...

Anthony is coming here...

Hurry... hurry... hlde under the bed...
as soon as I manage to make him

turn hls back...
hit without mercy... swiftly!

Bonjour, mon amor, sava bien?

Of course you are a thlef... a blg thlef. .

But what do you

You would go against Rome
to make me the Queen of the world?

How many tlmes do I have
to tell you so... I would give you

the sun, the moon...
if they were minel

But how can I stlll belleve you?
You've been so changeable since you got back.

Me?

At certain times

I don't recognize you any more.

Cleo... Cleo... Cleo... don't talk nonsense,
I am always the same Mark Anthony for youl

Rome should slnk Into the Tlber,

- Through the window?

Why, according to you,
where should I be leaving from?

Tell me thls, what toga dld you

or the green one?

The red one...

Ahl And who
wore the green one?

How do I know,
what am I the guard of the togas?

I understand... .

- Yes slr... .
- Yes... so l'm a dope then?

- Aren't you a dope?
- Me.

- You sald I'm a dope.
- I?

- Then you've changed your mlnd... .
- About what?

- That you're a dope.
- I'm not a dope.

- That's what I say.
- If anyone's a dope, you know who it is?

- Yes. - You.
- Me. - Let's drop it.

That's enough.

Oh llsten,
don't make me lose time.

I've got an appointment In Rome,
you'll make me lose the boat.

There's no boat
leaving for Rome.

What do I care,
I'll leave by myself on foot; alone

Ah, alone

Why, are you
going to forbid me?

And you abandon
Cleopatra like that?

That Cleopatra.
Nobarbus you bore me to death too.

Take that mask off.

What mask?

Yours.

Have I got a mask on?

Your make-believe mask.

And when did I put it on?

Don't joke, confess?
You're not Mark Anthony...

Ah? Ah? And you realized It
now, you see?

And then you say
you're not a dope

Well then, who are you,
what did you come here for.

I'm his poor twin brother.

And what did you come here for?

To tell the truth, I didn't come,
they sent me.

They told me, go there
and subjugate Cleopatra. Understand?

Ah, and who sent you?

That one there... Welll...
it would take too long to explain

It to you, understand. But now
that the other one's here,

he'll take care of it.

- Nol
- Yes.

- Nol You have to take care of It.
- Me?

Yes.
From this moment on...

Ah... Ah... look,
here are the sestertii.

- They're not Important.
- Leave the pouch.

From thls moment on, you'll
do everything I say, is that clear?

Otherwise, I'll brlng you before
Mark Anthony and I'll unmask you

In front of hlm and Cleopatra,
and beware because

Cleopatra
doesn't fool around!

- Is this blackmail then?
- Yes.

Are you a blackmailer too?

But wouldn't It be better If
Istop bothering you and just leave?

No, you must be a bother.

- Really then, thls Is belng Ill bred.
- Yes.

- You're a blackmaller and Ill bred.
- Yes.

- And you stlnkl
- And I stink tool

Stinkerl

Quletl You have to contlnue
acting the way you have until now,

all right? That way you'll make
Mark Anthony detestable

to Cleopatra
and you'll ruin him.

Mark Anthony ls a ood person,
and too we're related.

That's enough! You're In my hands
and you have no choice, either you

obey me or you
get the stake.

I don't understand.

Elther you obey me
or you get the stake.

- The stake?
- Yes.

What is the stake?

Do you know
what hanging-posts are?

- I've made my choice.
- What?

I'll obey, you're not goln
to make a jerk out of mel

The generals are reporting.

Good, good,
is anyone on leave?

At ease.
And what's this one doing here?

- Who?
- I told you to kill him.

But I'm a general,
you made me one yourself.

Really? Then the way I made you
I unmake you, all right?

I demote you
to sub-sentry.

Watch what you're dolng
because I'm going to tell Mama.

Ah, yes, your mother doesn't
bother me, she doesn't bother me

In the least. As a matter of fact,
you can tell her to watch her step

or I'll demote her too,
to sub-Egyptian. Let me see your hand.

It's clean! Ouchl Darn you!
I'll pay you back for that!

Mama, I'll show you,
I will... Ah, cuckold!

You scoundrel... . Let me gol
I'll break his head, you know?

Ugly son of a Cleopatra.

Llsten to me, watch to see
when the Queen arrives,

A short while later?

When the Queen arrives, Anthony
gets here a short while later.

But thls later... later... I don't

Mouse nothing... . After the Queen

and you have to beat it quickly.

I'll beat It rlght away.
And veterinarians... of all the wars...

Veterans...

- Why, what dld I say?
- Veterinarians...

Ah, I was speaking In the thlrd person. .
As I was saying, vetarinarians of

all the wars, l'm surprised
that you allow yourselves

to be led by an idiot like that.

But no, we never
question your orders.

And Instead
you should question theml

Dld I hurt you? You've
got a foot that's two yards long.

Tony...

Tony, excuse me
if I'm disturbing you.

Yes, you're dlsturblng me,
you're really disturbing me.

Ah, What is it?

You're always joking...

Oh, no I mean It.
What is it?

Can you lend me
two legions?

Are you crazy? Do you thlnk
I lend two legions just like lhal

as though they were two umbrellas?
And then, what do you need them for?

I have to send them to take possession
of the provinces you gave me:

Tracla, Llcla,
Bilicia and Cappadacia...

And not Cacaracla? You're crazy,
I don't give provinces away to just anyone. .

You're breaking your word?

I'm breaking my word, I'm a breaker
that's all, why now I should start

glvlng away
the parts of the Roman empire

as thouh they were gnats... .
ah... ah... Barbalongus...

Enobarbusl

Prepare a steamed gyros,
uh. . a stamped papyrus.

For how much?

Two hundred liras...

Do you want two sestersii?

If I swerve It's my business... .
I go straight... I never swerve

understand? And forbld the queen
here present from putting her hands

on the llllum or prose provinces,
otherwise I'll cut those ugly hands offl

- Hurry up... - Huh?

What gefs Into hlm?
Do you understand anything about this?

plays dirty tricks.

Unfortunately I have
to forbid you, orders are orders.

Damn hlm, last nlght I gave In

and yet he was so cute,
tender and sweet...

The passionate Anthony of the good
old days - Rome was far away...

There was
only me, his Cleo...

hls crocodile, as he used to call me,
as though he wanted to be devoured by me.

Cuckcoo... Guess who I am?

- A scoundrell
- Ahl Cleol

How dare you
put your hands on me.

But really It was you who
put your hands on me. lwas jokingl

ls It a joke to glve me the provlnces
the night before only

to take them from me
in the momingl

Me?

Yes. You also
ordered Enobarbus to forbid mel

Enobarbus? Tell her that
it's not true!

In all honesty,
I have to say that it's true...

There, see, it's true!

But If I just
came in nowl

Yes, but on your retuml
In all honesty I have to say

that you took the provinces
away from her, you went out,

and now you've returned.

That's right!

You even left
your helmet there...

See?

It's truel Oh my God,
I don't understand anything any more. .

Mama. Ah, you're here.
Mama, don't look that one there

In the face any more.
He degraded mel

He did that too?

It's not true...
that brat is a liarl

Yes, yes
and he even hit mel

Me? Enobarbus,
say he's a liar...

In all honesty I must say that
you hit him and you degraded him,

what's more you even threatened
to degrade the queen to sub-Egyptian.

Ahl... Sol...

Tell the truth...
in all honesty. .you caught him?

How did it go?

Very well! Mark Anthony
got himself a big slap... Baaaml

Tell me about It,
were you there?

0f course I was!

Really, huh? And was thls mark
caused by a whiff of air?

Why, can you see it?

Heyl Come here and

Mark Anthony... Hide...

Dear Enobarbusl... It's golng badly!

This business worries me.

We must do something,
for the good of the Queen.

We'll see.

You understand, It could be
a danger for her, for Egypt.

We should lock him up.

Yes.

I wasn't aware of itl

And who told you?
The generalsl

And where were the generals?

All around youl

- Nol

The generals were all around
and I was in the middle

Those generals

Let's notjokel
Help. . Enobarbus, Enobarbus?

Catch himl Catch himl

Keep quletl
you'll rouse the palace.

- He's crazy, he's crazy!
- I told you he was crazyl

- He wanted to stab me...
- Keep calm, keep calm.

Closing hlm up ls not enough.
We must operate on him at once!

Operate. How?

Yes, hls skull must be opened,
the brains have to be in full view

to see If lnslde them there
is something, sometimes little bugs

get In there and stay there
and he must have them,

for sure he has them...

Then It's
a difficult operation. .

Well, modestly, I have perfonned
hundreds of such operations,

all went well.

- They all recovered...
- No, they all died.

Ah, post-operative
consequences.

No, during the operatlonl
It's a normal thing, no?

Ah, interesting!

Honorable colleagues,
please speak up one at the time.

We can't understand anything.

It's Anthony's followers that
are making all the noise

to cover the voice of truthl

Anthony has betrayed usl

It's not true, It appears to me that
never like now has Anthony fought

for the sacred cause of Rome,
even against Cleopatra!

Any doubt can be cleared up by
going there to see personally

and I'll go there as
I want to with many Iegionsl

Senators thls ls a solemn moment
Rome declares war to Egypt!

Thus we wlll see
what side is Anthony on.

Totonnol Totonno, don't play,
don't you understand that now

we must run away?
Marc Anthony may be here any moment.

Marc Anthony? Wasn't he
being operated on the brains?

Nothlng dolng, thlngs went wrong.
At the last moment Cleopatra budged in...

Ahhh. thls Cleopatra
spoils everything for us.

But she needs hlm, needs hls leglons
once that war has been declared.

War has been declared?

- Yes.
- Against who?

Octavian is about to land.

Octavian ls a frlend of mlne,
we are brothers-in-law,

I'll take care of thlngs,
don't worry.

Yes, but If he attacks:
War!

If he attacks the war?

No. Octavian
attacks Anthony.

And to who
do I attach myself?

To...
you attach yourself to me.

To whom
do you attach yourself?

I attach myself to you.

And to whom does
Cleopatra attach herself?

Absolutely not,
say it, say it...

Qulck, you must hlde yourselfl
Quick! Where?

- Where?
- Over there...

Catch mel

Ah, here you are Enobarbus, good,
do we have a map of the delta here?

Of course,
my Queen, it's here,

I had already prepared It,
here is the map.

Let me see.
You call this a map?

What is it then?

It's small,
it's a minimap.

Well, Anthony, It's understood
that Octavian will land here

wlth ten legions,
isn't that so?

Twelve, my Queen,
besides the cavalry

and many of the latest
war machines, secret weapons.

Here you will attack him.

At the landing point?

Yes, we'll throw
him back into the sea.

Easy sald,
how can you do it?

I can hardly put toether
three and a half legions.

Your legions are fourl

There were four, Enobarbus,

but the Egyptian women
have destroyed them.

Is It Anthony who speaks llke that?
Where is your courage?

To defend your women you and
your men must spring up like lions!

What Ilonsl There are only four cats
of us left and faced by

the overwhelmln forces of Octavian,
do you know what the cats do?

They run away.

And you'll run away, very good.
A nice attack so that Octaviano

wlll belleve you ready to flght
to the last man, then the flight.

My plan is perfect.

But excuse me, let's not
confuse things, my Cleopatra.

It seems to me that
this is OctaviaNs plan.

No, because once Octavian has
pursued and surrounded you,

he wlll thlnk himself the vlctor,
but at the same instant,

from every hlll, from every hole,
my men will jump out and by

the thousand, they wlll
surround the surrounderers.

To look at her you wouldn'!
guess itl Good for you Cleopatra

To glve you every guarantee
I will place my anny

under the command
of your lieutenant.

Hlm? Very good! Then let's get
ready to the fight.

Ilke a wlld beast! Come,
Cleopatra, my companion,

glve a klss to a soldier.
And I'll swear to you that

wherever Marc Anthony wlll
pass there will be death,

extermination, scourge.

The earth wlll open under men's feet
and they'll fall in...

those who want to fight, follow me.

Hal“

What do you mean wlth your Hall?
Are you on a furlough?

Anthony, I'll take command
of the Egyptian forces.

Yeah, that's right, I was forgetting,
be careful then, Nobarbus,

as soon as you see that
we are surrounded, don't hold back

the surprise,
surprise us at once.

- You can trust me.
- I trust you.

Go, my heart is with youl

I wlll multlply my forces,
I will come back a winner

to gather from your dlvlne llps
a well deserved kiss. Haill

Hal“

Bye.

Enobarbus, llsten to me, are you
still ready to do anything for me?

My divine one, to see you happy

I'd be wllllng to throw you
into the anns of another man.

What do you mean?

It ls also possible
that Octavian might win.

It's possible...

Little Enobarboncinus,

do you thlnk you can teach me
to do my job as queen?

What a mess!
Romans beating up Romans!

Attack! Forwardl
We follow them!

Mamma Mlal - Every man for hlmselfl
Betrayal! - Every man for himselfl

Have you news of Enobarbus,
with the Egyptian troops? - None!

Reslst to the last man, whlle
I'm going to meet Enobarbus. Gol

Totonno? Totonno, let's be merry,
let's be merry, oh, how happy I aml

The battle ls about to be ended
and everything goes wonderfully!

I'm glad! Tell me,
are we winning?

I'm tellln you that everything
is going well, that means we are losing.

You are confusing mel Howls It
that we are losing and all goes well?

That's it.

But I say, are we loslng as Romans,
as Egyptians or as simpletons?

What I mean to say... I mean
to say that Octavian is winning.

Yes?

Did you understand?

Hal l'm very lad, but how long does
it take to lose this war,

I am tlred to remaln down here.
Do not steal that apple.

Park the charrlotsl Orders from
the Queen: Put away your armsl

My Queen, a defeated Anthony comes
to you as furious as a bull

that's furlousl
Be on guard!

Isls, glve me all my strengthl
And also some good luckl

- Where ls Cleopatra?
- Tony.

Where ls Cleopatra? Ah, here you arel
Wicked Egyptian, witch, unfaithful,

thls Is your love! Wlth a smlle
on your lips you sent me to

fight whlle you were contrlvlng
the most vile betrayal!

I?

Yes youl I should klll youl
But I won't do itl And you know why?

So as not to spoll Octavlan's triumph,
the triumph of a Roman as I am.

Let hlm make you a prlsonerl
Let him take you to Rome on a leash,

tled to hls chariot, let hlm expose you
to the insults of the plebs...

Ahl Cleopatra, you don't know what
the Roman plebs are when they throw

thelr Insults, what comes out
of their mouths.

Where you ever to the stadium?
Nol So you don't know.

Oh, but Anthony, I don't understand youl
Explain yourself... Did we lose perhaps?

Dld we... I lost! Because you, you
weren't there, neither you nor your annyl

How is that?

Had I seen the shadow
of an Egyptian! Nothing!

But what have I got to do wlth ltl
I was here praying to the gods.

You prayed to them badly!

But my anny was
under your lieutenant.

Yeah! He's a good one!
Enobarbusl

Where has he gone? Enobarbus,
wretched fellow, damn youl

Noble Anthony, If he betrayed you
as I suppose he did,

he must be In 0ctavlan's camp,
he could hardly hear youl

Misfortune! Misfortune!
Adverse destiny does not save

Its blows and adds to defeat
the anger of my lord,

so that I lose both throne and love.
My heart, you that are prepared

to the hardest trlals,
bear with defeat, but how

don't you break under the susplclons
of the noble Anthony?

Ahhh, deathl Where are you?
Death, the delivererl

Come, come to take
the most unlucky of queens!

And drag her Into your dark world
together with her loved one!

Cleopatra! Let's not jokel
Be calm, young woman, be calm.

Ahl Let's klll ourselves, Anthony, let's
kill ourselves! Give me your swordl

Are you crazy? We need to be calml
Calm is the virtue of the strong onesl

And besldes my soldlers are stlll
fighting, yes, they are withdrawing,

but who can say that
theirs is not a strategic move?

But they are wlthdrawlngl... .
What a misfortune!

Well, they'll give us... they'll
give us time to flee no?

Let's do somethln... and go
into exile... so many kings

are In exlle, there wlll be
place for us tool

And they are not badly offl

Ohl So Ion... so long as
I don't lose you...

Tony, two hearts and a hut!

Yes, Cleopatra, let's do that,
go there and pack the suitcases,

flll them wlth old, jewels,
precious stones, all that you

can because you must understand. .
without dough, my Cleopatra,

it's hard to exile!

Comel there's a secret passage
behind the throne known only to mel...

I know about it tool

- Go ahead!
- You go first.

Yes, we'll need some muslc,
slaves, lights... I'll take itl

Besides, the packing ls done...
Close up, close well.

There must be a key, yes.

- Why not... why not...

Why not?

Why am I not Marc Anthony?

Are you saylng now that

that I'm not Marc Anthony.

What do I know?
You better do the explaining.

But don't you understand

to the kitchens,
not to the stables.

Am I lvln you a salary? - Yes.
Did I make you marry Cleopatra? - Yes.

Let's go.
