A Movie Scene Listening, Gladiator II from B1 to C2

• Lucius: "I remember that day. I never forgot it. That a slave could take revenge against an emperor." 

• Macrinus: "Where were you born?" 

• Lucius: "I don't know. I never knew a mother nor a father." 

• Macrinus: "You will be my instrument."

• Macrinus: Who are you?

• Macrinus: Did you hear that crowd?

• Macrinus: The greatest temple Rome ever built. The Colosseum.

• Macrinus: Because this is what they believe in. Power.

• Roman Noble: General Acacius, there are victories yet still to come.

• General Acacius: Rome has so many subjects, she must feed them. They can eat war.

• Macrinus: The arena turns slaves into gladiators. The gladiators into free men.

• Macrinus: You have something in you. I knew it from the start.

• Macrinus: Rage.

• Macrinus: And rage is your gift.

• Lucius: This is about survival! Survive!

• Lucius: Hold together, and when it charges, break through the wall.

• Macrinus: Whose head could I give you that would satisfy this fury?

• Lucius: The entire Roman army's.

• Macrinus: Too much?

• Lucius: The general will do.

• Lucius: Rome must fall.

• Lucius: I need only give it a push.

• Lucilla: This ring belonged to Maximus. Now, I give it to you.

• Lucius: What is the dream of Rome?

• Emperor Geta: That people are not free.

• Macrinus: I was owned. Now, I will control an empire.

• General Acacius: I will not waste another generation of young men for their vanity.

• Lucius: Strength and honor!

• Macrinus: This is how Rome treats its heroes!

• Emperor Geta: The gods have spoken!
