Storyboard Tekst

  • What a pompous idiot.
  • Of course, master.
  • Hurry up, slave! Finish your scrubbing quickly or you'll get the whip. This area needs to be perfect for my dinner party.
  • Melissa, have you heard about the gladiator Spartacus? He's gathering an army of slaves and starting an uprising!
  • Good heavens! Really? Please don't join them, Nicia. You'll be caught for sure.
  • You two! Quit the chatter and bring the wine and goblets over right now!
  • You just can't get good slaves these days.
  • Tell me about it. I had some who were so disobedient we had to whip them twice a day!
  • How dare you humiliate me in front of my dinner guests?! Let's see if you can still be insolent after a taste of the whip!
  • We're so sorry, master.
  • It won't happen again, we swear!
  • Oh, the pain is killing me. I don't think I can take any more beatings. You're right, Nicia, we have to escape and join the uprising. We're treated even worse than animals here.
  • Yes. The horses eat better than us here. We should sneak out at night when everyone's asleep.
  • Please, mighty Jupiter, King of Gods, accept our offering of this sacrificial cow. 
  • Please help us with our escape and journey to meet Spartacus and his army of slaves. We will forever be grateful and will sacrifice more to you every day.
