Macrinus Demands Thraex's Loyalty: 'I wish your house.'
from Gladiator 2
Written by David Scarpa
Macrinus confronts Thraex in his own home to collect a massive debt, using the leverage to seize control of Thraex's property. He forces Thraex into a corner, demanding high-level political secrets and loyalty in exchange for his life. Thraex eventually breaks, revealing a clandestine plot to rescue a gladiator and overthrow the Emperors.
MACRINUS: This house is mine now. Your debt is now over ten thousand denarii.
THRAEX: I have other things. Cattle. Art.
MACRINUS: You offer me beef and paint? Oh Thraex.
THRAEX: Slaves then. Or... What do you want?
MACRINUS: Truth. Nothing happens in Rome without Thraex’s knowledge.
