Nowhere Safe
There's just one more
in the laundry room.
It's okay.
Mom...
What?
See, everything's fine.
Ashley!
We're going to be late.
I'm coming.
Sure you don't want to wear
something a little nicer?
No mom, I don't.
Okay. You ready?
Sure.
It's going to be fine.
Yeah, just another school.
Okay stop! Stop,
stop, stop.
What, here?
Yeah.
Ashley, that's a
bit extreme.
Mom, it's not
worth the risk.
The most
powerful civilization...
Hi.
Oh, here.
Thanks.
I got it.
A fight... A fight to
the death!
Wanna move?
Nice hoodie.
Oh, uh, thanks.
Miss Beardall used to
work out of here
so I hope this is okay
for you as well.
Of course.
Good because we don't have any
Okay, let's see, you have
your first hour off,
class in the second
hour, fourth hour,
lunch and a sixth
hour class.
Okay.
And if you need
any help, call me.
That is Mr. Carlisle.
What is he...?
Don't even get
me started.
I need to get back
to my office.
Stop in this afternoon?
Thanks.
Maxie!
Hey! Don't do that!
Wait, did you
say something?
That's what I thought.
Yo, Burnside.
What's up man?
You going to Cal's
this weekend?
Yeah dude!
All right everyone,
take your seats.
I see we have a
new student.
Please stand, tell
us your name.
Um, my name is
Ashley Evans.
Hopefully you're not
too far behind
in the curriculum but
I'll get to you.
Just sit there.
It's always nice to have
Let's turn our text
books to page 207.
Hey, check it out.
She's that girl...
Oh whatever.
Romans!
Did you see how
high she jumped?
Ah, good morning class.
Ancient Rome was one of
the most powerful,
most technologically advanced
societies in the world.
Also one of the
most violent.
Now, can someone tell me
what the coliseum was?
Oh, my parents saw it on a
cruise they went on last year.
Awesome!
What was it?
Awesome.
Oh, oh...
Wei?
Col-i-see-um,
an amphitheater in Rome.
Wei scores! Yes, it is the
amphitheater in Rome.
Thank-you Wei.
Now, the coliseum was the
mecca of all entertainment.
Let's say you wanted to go and
see two warriors fighting.
Yeah!
Where would you sit?
Sitting? I'd be fighting in
the middle of the arena.
Yeah!
That's a beast.
Okay, Nick?
Box seats - wherever
the emperor sat.
Okay. Carrie?
queen. Or empress.
No way I'm sitting in
the last section.
Totally! I get it.
Totes!
All right, anyone else?
Max?
Oh, I'd probably just be...
Max, he'd be in the middle of
the coliseum wetting his pants.
Yeah, I'd kick his butt.
Well as a gladiator you'd have
many opponents to fight.
Sure would...
Yeah with one
big difference.
What'd you say?
Uh, nothing.
No, you said something...
What was the difference?
Well...
they fought to the death.
Blondie's right. They
fought to the death
because they were
the lowest class.
What?
Most of them were prisoners of
war, slaves, criminals.
Or just people that the
Romans used to torture.
They had no choice.
It was either fight...
or die.
Throughout the coliseum
crowds roared and
people flocked to see
the latest fight.
Remind you of anything today?
Um, boxing.
Battles we gather to watch.
Anything else?
Oh, American football.
Yes, Wei.
Movies.
That's very insightful Carrie.
See, violence is as much a part
of our society today
as it was in ancient Rome.
Now, we may not literally kill
people for entertainment anymore
but we do flock to death
and suffering.
You ever rubber neck on the
side of the road
to see an accident?
When someone's house
goes up in flames
