Delicate Things

Spartacus: Blood and Sand

Season 1 Episode 6

& Batiatus: We have proved the name Batiatus will live long after we have gone to dust and bone. So stand proud before the bringer of rain! The slayer of the shadow of death! The new Champion of Capua! Spartacus!

& Spartacus: I defeated a man who could not be defeated. What more could they expect of me?
    Batiatus: Everything! Their appetite is a great beast. It must constantly be fed with new delights.

& Batiatus: We’ll start by changing your fighting style. Two swords, as Theokoles fought with. We’ll see the crowds pleasure double with their new hero twice as deadly! And new armor, worthy of a legend! Men will be made to feel smaller by it! Women will moisten at the very sight.

& Batiatus: Did you see the tears of gratitude in his eyes?
    Lucretia: Gratitude falls short of loyalty.

& Batiatus: Spartacus will be reunited with his wife. And in the act... I will bind him to us and this ludus... Until god comes to claim us all...

& Varro: You move to escape beyond these walls, and that is surely what you’ll find.
    Spartacus: Has no one ever attempted such a thing?
    Varro: And lived? No. It is a thing born of the impossible.
    Spartacus: The same was said of defeating Theokoles.
    Varro: You have a plan, then?
    Spartacus: One begins to take shape...

& Lucretia: The man was yet loyal.
    Batiatus: He wished for his freedom.
    Lucretia: A betrayal in itself.

& Batiatus: My word is kept. They’re reunited.
