Prefect : What do you keep behind these locks and bolts?
Marcus : My fortune, excellency. It's a safe place.
Burbix : Would the prefect like to inspect the barbarians - the Britons who are to fight tomorrow?
Marcus : Yes.
[to the prefect]
Marcus : Captives from Agricola's campaign.
Prefect : I wonder why we Romans trouble ourselves with that wretched island? After it's conquered, what good is it?
Marcus : Don't you believe we can ever civilize the Britons?
Prefect : Those people? They'll always be barbarians. What will they ever do?
