On this day... we reach back to hallowed antiquity... to bring you a re-creation of the second fall... of mighty Carthage! On the barren plain of Zama... there stood the invincible armies... of the barbarian Hannibal. Ferocious mercenaries and warriors... from all brute nations... bent on merciless destruction... conquest. Your emperor is pleased to give you... the barbarian horde! Anyone here been in the army? Yes. I served with you at Vindobona. You can help me. Whatever comes out of these gates... we've got a better chance of survival if we work together. Do you understand? If we stay together, we survive. The Emperor is pleased to bring you the legionnaires... of Scipio Africanus!

What do you want? Girl? Boy? - You sent for me. - Yes, I did. You're good, Spaniard, but you're not that good. You could be magnificent. I'm required to kill, so I kill. That is enough. That's enough for the provinces, but not for Rome. The young emperor has arranged a series of spectacles... to commemorate his father, Marcus Aurelius. I find that amusing... since it was Marcus Aurelius, the wise... the all-knowing Marcus Aurelius, that closed us down. So finally, after five years of scratching a living... in flea-infested villages... we're finally going back to where we belong: The Colosseum. You should see the Colosseum, Spaniard. Fifty-thousand Romans... watching every movement of your sword... willing you to make that killer blow. The silence before you strike and the noise afterwards. It rises. It rises up... like a storm. As if you were the thunder god himself. - You were a gladiator? - Yes, I was. You won your freedom? A long time ago, the Emperor... presented me with a rudius. It's just a wooden sword. The symbol of your freedom. He touched me on the shoulder, and I was free. You knew Marcus Aurelius? I did not say I knew him. I said he touched me on the shoulder once. You asked me what I want. I, too, want to stand in front of the Emperor... as you did. Then listen to me. Learn from me. I wasn't the best because I killed quickly. I was the best because the crowd loved me.
