- No.

- What?

Sir, there's a lady to see you.

A lady who's in a hurry!

- Where's the cat?

- It ran away.

Valeria, is that nice?

I don't know. I only eat carrots,

but I think so.

Eat up.

Would you like some wine?

No wine, just milk.

I'll get it.

Can I have some wine?

Thanks.

- Do you live in Paris, miss?

- No!

Giorgio,

can you give me a cigarette, please?

Of course.

Thanks.

- That's Melampo's collar!

- It's mine!

Really?

I'll read a bit, then I'll sleep.

As you're not asking me anything,

I'll speak.

- If you like.

- You don't usually speak.

- You just judge me!

- Not here, Giorgio.

- Goodnight, mum.

- Goodnight, Valeria.

I saw a girl who was quite pretty,

a bit scruffy and very rude.

I've tried explaining,

but you don't want to understand.

I do what I can.

Why don't you ever get angry?

- I should get angry?

- Yes, it's be more honest.

I don't get angry

because we're friends.

- I try and understand.

- We're not friends.

We're...

Will you leave your wrists alone?

Please.

It gets on my nerves.

It gets on your nerves?

What do you want from me?

You don't get angry, that's true.

But you try to commit suicide!

Then when I speak to you,

you stay calm.

Full of understanding!

That's the worst kind

of emotional blackmail!

You don't know

what's going on between us.

Yes, she's not a woman.

She's a dog who follows her owner.

- I understand, you see?

- Don't play dumb.

I never said she was a dog.

- I understand perfectly.

- You'd like to, but you can't.

You've got no imagination!

And you don't believe me.

Yes, I believe you!

It's useless talking to you.

It's completely useless.

Come here!

Come here!

Giorgio!

Giorgio, come here!

- Come here!

- No, don't be like that.

If you go with b*tches,

you should like it!

Come here.

Let's go.

It's late February '71 B.C.

It's a cold night. The mountains

are covered with snow.

Spartacus and some of his men...

...win against Crasso

and march towards Brindisi.

Crasso immediately goes after him...

...because he's scared

that Spartacus will attack Rome.

But soon he notices

that Spartacus' march...

...is just a diversion manoeuvre.

Careful!

No rebel had ever

acted like Spartacus.

He was already aware of his class.

He knew the slaves

had to gain their own freedom.

Spartacus was a revolutionary.

Leave the fish!

You have to listen

because my dog listened to me!

Got that?

Good. Got that, Liza'?

Carlo Marx himself said that Spartacus...

...was the only representative

of ancient proletarianism.

The sea is taking the boat away!

The boat's gone.

The sea's taken it away.

What now?

Go away!

I'll tell you one more time!

I don't want you to stay here!
