Victory

Spartacus: War of the Damned

Season 3 Episode 10

& Crassus: The passing of years hardens a man to the simple joys of life. Until all that is left is a thing of stone, cold and unforgiving.

& Laeta: You will not fall in battle against Crassus.
    Spartacus: You now hold power to pierce future’s uncertain veil?
    Laeta: I hold but faith. In a man like no other.

& Gannicus: I have had my fill of words and tearful farewells. I desire blood, and cries of our enemy.
    Spartacus: Let us make it so.

& Spartacus: Whatever happens to my people it happens because we choose for it. We decide our fates. Not you. Not the Romans. Not even the gods.

& Spartacus: There is no justice. Not in this world.
    Crassus: At last. A thing we agree upon.

& Spartacus: When we again meet, I will kill you.
    Crassus: No. You are going to try.
    Spartacus: It is all a free man can do.

& Spartacus: You once questioned how victory can be defined. I thought answer held in Roman deaths.
    Gannicus: A position no longer taken?
    Spartacus: Life is what defines it. Not the death of Romans. Nor ours, nor those that follow us into battle.

& Gannicus: What would you have me do?
    Spartacus: The impossible.

& Spartacus: We stand in the shadow of greater might! As their Republic cast across the lives of every man... every woman... And every child... condemned to the darkness of slavery! Forced to toil and suffer, so that those of coin and position can see their fortunes grow beyond need or purpose!.. Let us teach them, that all who draw breath are of equal worth! And that those that seek to place heel upon the throat of liberty... Will fall to the cry of freedom!

& Crassus: Raise command for ballistae and catapults!
    Caesar: You would rain death upon our own men?
    Crassus: I would end this fucking war!

& Crassus: Would that you had been born a Roman... And had stood beside me.
    Spartacus: I bless the fates... that it was not so.

& Crassus: Legends are but bone and meat of dreams. Rotting in the harsh sun of reality.

& Caesar: You forever speak of the future.
    Crassus: The past cannot be altered. The present holds but regret and loss. It is only in the days to come that a man may find solace... When memory fades.

& Spartacus: Spartacus... That is not my name.

& Spartacus: Do not shed tear. There is no greater victory... than to fall from this world... a free man.
