Caligula Page #9

Synopsis: The rise and fall of the notorious Roman Emperor Caligula, showing the violent methods that he employs to gain the throne, and the subsequent insanity of his reign - he gives his horse political office and humiliates and executes anyone who even slightly displeases him. He also sleeps with his sister, organises elaborate orgies and embarks on a fruitless invasion of Britain before meeting an appropriate end. There are various versions of the film, ranging from the heavily truncated 90-minute version to the legendary 160-minute hardcore version which leaves nothing to the imagination (though the hardcore scenes were inserted later and do not involve the main cast members).

Although I have taken the form of

849

Gaius Caligula, I am

all men as I am no man.

...a god.

852

I shall wait for the unanimous

decision of the Senate.

853

02:
03:45,200 -- 02:03:47,471

All those who say aye...

854

02:
03:48,033 -- 02:03:50,033

...say 'Aye.'

855

02:

He's a god now.

Aye. Aye. Aye.

863

02:

The period of

mourning is now over.

874

02:
04:43,322 -- 02:04:45,322

He's mad.

875

02:
05:09,400 -- 02:05:11,606

Enjoy yourself.

876

02:
05:12,154 -- 02:05:14,154

Take care.

877

02:
05:29,800 -- 02:05:32,417

Now the fun begins.

878

02:
05:32,958 -- 02:05:35,610

But... ah...

are you going to enjoy it as well?

879

02:
05:35,710 -- 02:05:38,270

I don't know.

Should we ask them?

880

02:
05:38,374 -- 02:05:40,374

Longinus.

881

02:
05:45,500 -- 02:05:49,000

Ah, Longinus.

My financial wizard.

882

02:
05:49,900 -- 02:05:52,060

We have a question for you.

883

02:
05:52,856 -- 02:05:55,336

Who're the richest men in Rome?

884

02:
05:55,485 -- 02:05:57,485

Who?

885

02:
05:57,600 -- 02:06:01,492

Answer:
The pimps.

886

02:
06:01,800 -- 02:06:03,800

Question number two.

887

02:
06:04,401 -- 02:06:08,848

Who are the most lascivious sluts

in all of Rome?

888

02:
06:11,363 -- 02:06:13,363

Who?

889

02:
06:13,969 -- 02:06:18,223

Answer:
The senators' wives.

890

02:
06:18,411 -- 02:06:22,056

So, an imperial brothel.

A most logical...

891

02:
06:22,156 -- 02:06:24,921

way to balance the state budget.

892

02:
07:03,700 -- 02:07:05,757

As you can see,

ladies and gentlemen,

893

02:
07:05,857 -- 02:07:07,630

we have gone to great expence...

894

02:
07:07,730 -- 02:07:11,410

...to bring you the finest flesh

in our empire.

895

02:
07:20,600 -- 02:07:22,600

Five gold pieces.

896

02:
07:24,964 -- 02:07:29,364

Only five gold pieces for each

and every twenty minutes.

897

02:
07:30,200 -- 02:07:32,200

And that's a bargain.

898

02:
07:49,100 -- 02:07:52,514

Look at them.

Aren't they beautiful?

899

02:
08:03,600 -- 02:08:07,705

The most lascivious ladies of the

Roman Empire have come today...

900

02:
08:07,805 -- 02:08:11,485

...to perform their patriotic

beauties for all.

901

02:
08:11,572 -- 02:08:14,482

For a mere five gold pieces.

902

02:
08:14,648 -- 02:08:18,328

All with them,

that they will welcome you well.

903

02:
08:20,300 -- 02:08:23,129

Follow for all the

imperial bungalow...

904

02:
08:23,229 -- 02:08:26,242

...and better make

your choice of the...

905

02:
08:26,342 -- 02:08:28,742

finest treasure of the Empire.

906

02:
08:31,098 -- 02:08:35,000

Just five gold pieces for each

and every twenty minutes.

907

02:
08:35,100 -- 02:08:37,730

And that's a bargain,

because most of the...

908

02:
08:37,830 -- 02:08:40,400

women here are respectable,

married ladies.

909

02:
08:40,500 -- 02:08:45,126

Senators' wives.

Whores of plainest reputation.

910

02:
08:47,700 -- 02:08:51,220

I'll have to work out a special

rate for you.

911

02:
08:56,300 -- 02:08:59,071

Greetings.

Flavia, come.

912

02:
08:59,171 -- 02:09:04,100

Don't waste time. Our senators'

wives are not merely beautiful...

913

02:
09:04,200 -- 02:09:07,640

...like their husbands,

they are insatiable.

914

02:
09:08,625 -- 02:09:12,625

And for only five gold pieces,

took any one of you.

915

02:
09:45,800 -- 02:09:48,345

Do the wives of golden juice

come on you.

916

02:
09:48,445 -- 02:09:52,902

Take their wives, use them,

confuse them.

917

02:
09:53,002 -- 02:09:55,002

Do as you will with them.

918

02:
09:55,100 -- 02:09:59,807

They are yours. Just

yours for only five.

919

02:
09:59,907 -- 02:10:01,907

Five gold pieces.

920

02:
10:05,100 -- 02:10:07,100

Hairy nipples.

921

02:
10:10,100 -- 02:10:11,714

Senator Marcellus.

922

02:
10:11,814 -- 02:10:15,461

Your wife will scare

our customers away.

923

02:
10:16,800 -- 02:10:18,800

Try help walnuts.

924

02:
10:19,800 -- 02:10:23,080

Hey, you over there.

Don't pinch yourself.

925

02:
10:23,119 -- 02:10:27,199

The more that you give,

the more they will bite you.

926

02:
11:00,200 -- 02:11:04,500

How many enjoying the skills

perfected by our senators' ladies...

927

02:
11:04,600 -- 02:11:08,040

...while their husbands

left in the Senate?

928

02:
11:42,300 -- 02:11:44,838

Only five gold pieces.

929

02:
11:45,178 -- 02:11:47,178

Five.

930

02:
11:47,490 -- 02:11:49,119

Senators' wives...

931

02:
11:49,219 -- 02:11:52,282

...for a blameless reputation.

932

02:
12:13,700 -- 02:12:17,200

He's making customs using

all our wives and daughters.

933

02:
12:17,300 -- 02:12:19,774

Humaliating the Senate

and defending the army.

934

02:
12:19,874 -- 02:12:22,354

That's why the people love him.

935

02:
12:35,398 -- 02:12:38,228

Longinus. You're

not having any fun.

936

02:
12:38,328 -- 02:12:39,590

Enjoy yourself.

937

02:
12:39,690 -- 02:12:44,250

What is your preference?

-Everything and nothing, Caesar.

938

02:
12:45,750 -- 02:12:48,790

You can't have both

for the same price.

939

02:
12:56,800 -- 02:12:59,821

He's provoking you.

-Only me? Huh.

940

02:
13:00,100 -- 02:13:03,380

He's mad.

He doesn't know what he's doing.

941

02:
13:04,200 -- 02:13:07,320

He knows what he's doing

perfectly well.

942

02:
13:08,300 -- 02:13:12,620

Give him enough rope... perhaps...

-He'll hang us all.

943

02:
13:53,400 -- 02:13:57,325

We also have a few

very sappier ladies here today.

944

02:
13:57,700 -- 02:14:01,226

You may slash them

or may bind them.

945

02:
14:02,000 -- 02:14:04,640

Five gold pieces to buy you both.

946

02:
14:05,248 -- 02:14:07,738

For five gold pieces.

947

02:
14:43,000 -- 02:14:46,760

Can't you stop bothering

for just a few moments?

948

02:
14:48,200 -- 02:14:49,367

Chaerea.

949

02:
14:49,467 -- 02:14:52,400

I hear you have a

taste for little boys.

950

02:
14:52,500 -- 02:14:55,540

Is that not so?

-No, Caesar. Big boys.

951

02:
14:56,700 -- 02:14:59,179

My soldiers.

-Are they ready?

Gore Vidal

Eugene Luther Gore Vidal (; born Eugene Louis Vidal; October 3, 1925 – July 31, 2012) was an American writer and public intellectual known for his patrician manner, epigrammatic wit, and polished style of writing.Vidal was born to a political family; his maternal grandfather, Thomas Pryor Gore, served as United States senator from Oklahoma (1907–1921 and 1931–1937). He was a Democratic Party politician who twice sought elected office; first to the United States House of Representatives (New York, 1960), then to the U.S. Senate (California, 1982).As a political commentator and essayist, Vidal's principal subject was the history of the United States and its society, especially how the militaristic foreign policy reduced the country to a decadent empire. His political and cultural essays were published in The Nation, the New Statesman, the New York Review of Books, and Esquire magazines. As a public intellectual, Gore Vidal's topical debates on sex, politics, and religion with other intellectuals and writers occasionally turned into quarrels with the likes of William F. Buckley Jr. and Norman Mailer. Vidal thought all men and women are potentially bisexual, so he rejected the adjectives "homosexual" and "heterosexual" when used as nouns, as inherently false terms used to classify and control people in society.As a novelist Vidal explored the nature of corruption in public and private life. His polished and erudite style of narration readily evoked the time and place of his stories, and perceptively delineated the psychology of his characters. His third novel, The City and the Pillar (1948), offended the literary, political, and moral sensibilities of conservative book reviewers, with a dispassionately presented male homosexual relationship. In the historical novel genre, Vidal re-created in Julian (1964) the imperial world of Julian the Apostate (r. AD 361–63), the Roman emperor who used general religious toleration to re-establish pagan polytheism to counter the political subversion of Christian monotheism. In the genre of social satire, Myra Breckinridge (1968) explores the mutability of gender role and sexual orientation as being social constructs established by social mores. In Burr (1973) and Lincoln (1984), the protagonist is presented as "A Man of the People" and as "A Man" in a narrative exploration of how the public and private facets of personality affect the national politics of the U.S. more…
