The Podcast of the Lotus Eaters - PREVIEW： Epochs #182

00:00:00.000 Okay, Daviciacus continues, he says apparently

00:00:02.980 Quote

00:00:03.800 If my words come to the ears of Ariovistus, he concluded

00:00:07.260 I do not doubt that he will inflict the most inhuman punishment

00:00:10.780 On all the hostages he has in his power

00:00:13.420 But to your great prestige, the recent victory of your army

00:00:17.220 And the terror of the Roman name

00:00:19.200 Could deter him from bringing fresh German hordes across

00:00:22.740 And protect all Gaul from his depredations

00:00:25.760 That's the end of his little speech

00:00:27.520 Caesar himself continues his narrative saying

00:00:29.320 When Daviciacus had finished his speech

00:00:32.360 The whole deputation began with many tears to implore Caesar's aid

00:00:36.760 He noticed, however, that the Sequanian representatives

00:00:40.660 Did not follow the example of all the rest

00:00:43.440 But hung their heads in dejection with their eyes fixed on the ground

00:00:47.540 Remember, this is the people that had invited Ariovistus in in the first place

00:00:52.280 In astonishment, he asked them the reason for this behaviour

00:00:55.800 But without making any reply, they maintained their attitude of silent dejection

00:01:00.760 After he had questioned them repeatedly

00:01:03.240 Without being able to get a word out of them

00:01:05.240 Daviciacus spoke again

00:01:07.140 The lot of the Sequani, he explained

00:01:09.800 The lot of the Sequani, he explained, was even more grievous and miserable than the rest

00:01:12.520 Because they alone dare not, even in secret, complain or beg for relief

00:01:17.680 They stood in terror of Ariovistus' cruelty

00:01:20.680 Even when he was far away

00:01:22.500 Just as much as if they were in his presence

00:01:24.880 For while the others could at any rate flee away out of his reach

00:01:28.360 The Sequani, having admitted him into their midst

00:01:31.520 And allowed all their towns to fall into his power

00:01:34.520 Must submit to any atrocities he chose to commit against them

00:01:38.600 So the Sequani are in a tight spot

00:01:40.920 They're so scared of Ariovistus

00:01:43.240 That even though, well, it's funny actually, isn't it?

00:01:45.400 They did dare turn up to this meeting

00:01:49.080 This summit with Caesar

00:01:51.300 But when they're actually there, they dare not actually say anything

00:01:53.840 I suppose less spies report back to Ariovistus

00:01:58.100 Ariovistus must have been a terrifying figure

00:02:01.440 That they dare not even sort of meet Caesar's eye

00:02:05.220 Let alone explicitly say

00:02:07.240 Please help us

00:02:08.340 Please relieve us from this tyranny

00:02:11.740 So they're sort of truly cowed

00:02:13.780 Caesar goes on, quote

00:02:15.060 On receiving this information

00:02:16.820 Caesar reassured the Gauls

00:02:18.840 And promised to attend to the matter

00:02:20.720 Adding that he had great hopes

00:02:22.780 That the privilege he had secured for Ariovistus

00:02:25.940 As well as the weight of his authority

00:02:27.860 Would induce him to cease his oppression

00:02:30.480 He then dismissed the meeting

00:02:32.200 In addition to what he had been told

00:02:34.060 Many other considerations convinced him

00:02:36.140 That this problem must be faced

00:02:37.640 And some action taken

00:02:38.840 So here again, people have argued all about

00:02:42.500 Whether Caesar really had to

00:02:43.960 Because Caesar's going to go on and have, you know

00:02:46.500 A fight with Ariovistus

00:02:47.860 People said, no, if Caesar really wanted to not do that

00:02:51.680 He could have done

00:02:52.280 If he wanted to be

00:02:54.120 What today we might call an isolationist

00:02:56.560 Or if he just wanted to play it safe

00:02:58.740 He could have said

00:03:00.140 Look, you know, guys, Gauls

00:03:01.900 Dear Gauls, sorry

00:03:03.520 Can't help you

00:03:04.820 We've got to look after our own here

00:03:07.380 The borders of Transalpine Gaul

00:03:10.080 Are the most important thing

00:03:11.140 And I'm going to shore that up

00:03:12.780 And you're on your own

00:03:14.340 You shouldn't have invited Ariovistus in

00:03:16.480 In the first place, sorry

00:03:17.380 Like, he could have done that

00:03:18.680 He didn't have to

00:03:20.300 Take the view

00:03:22.200 That it was absolutely in his best interest

00:03:25.260 To immediately fight Ariovistus

00:03:27.620 But, I don't know, who knows

00:03:29.700 It's impossible to really say

00:03:30.900 It is an interesting historical debate

00:03:34.080 Or argument

00:03:34.820 Because both sides

00:03:36.360 Both sides of that argument

00:03:37.780 Are fair enough

00:03:39.180 Aren't they?

00:03:40.360 I suspect

00:03:41.040 That later in the story

00:03:43.540 It is Caesar unnecessarily

00:03:45.800 Expanding his conquests

00:03:47.000 But that this one at least

00:03:49.140 My feeling has always been

00:03:51.300 That at least the Ariovistus affair

00:03:53.480 Is legit

00:03:54.920 When I carry on reading

00:03:57.300 And tell you exactly how it all plays out

00:03:58.780 I think you'll probably agree

00:04:00.420 Like, Ariovistus was very aggressive

00:04:02.560 And sort of wouldn't accept Roman authority

00:04:08.620 In any sense

00:04:10.900 Even when Caesar tries to be reasonable with him

00:04:12.880 Basically

00:04:13.300 He doesn't really accept it

00:04:15.060 And, yeah

00:04:16.620 He seems like

00:04:17.380 He does seem like a problem

00:04:19.400 Genuinely

00:04:21.260 Truly

00:04:21.700 That Caesar

00:04:22.660 It probably was

00:04:23.680 It probably was in Caesar's

00:04:24.940 Tactical

00:04:26.140 If not strategic

00:04:27.560 Interest

00:04:28.060 To take him on immediately

00:04:29.100 But anyway

00:04:30.080 People argue about that

00:04:31.300 Caesar goes on

00:04:32.140 The most important

00:04:33.020 Was the fact that the Addui

00:04:34.580 Who had frequently been styled

00:04:36.400 By the Senate

00:04:37.020 Brothers and kinsmen

00:04:38.380 Of the Roman people

00:04:39.180 Were enslaved

00:04:40.560 And held subject

00:04:41.760 By the Germans

00:04:42.540 And the Adduian hostages

00:04:44.580 Were in the hands of Ariovistus

00:04:46.480 And the Sequani

00:04:47.260 Which, considering the mighty power of Rome

00:04:50.140 Caesar regarded as a disgrace to himself

00:04:52.740 And to his country

00:04:53.660 See, the Addui

00:04:54.960 The people more in central Gaul

00:04:56.520 Were, you know

00:04:57.940 Full allies, really

00:04:59.080 Of Rome

00:05:00.040 And so, you know

00:05:02.000 Again, you can abandon your allies

00:05:04.280 Right?

00:05:06.160 There's precedent for that

00:05:07.100 All throughout history

00:05:07.860 You can abandon them

00:05:09.760 But it isn't very honourable

00:05:12.600 The classic thing reminds me

00:05:14.600 Perhaps of World War I

00:05:15.620 Where the English

00:05:17.580 Or the British

00:05:18.280 Had promised the Belgians

00:05:20.880 That we would help protect them

00:05:22.960 From German aggression

00:05:23.980 And then when that German aggression came

00:05:26.400 A lot of historians

00:05:28.220 I mean, including Godfrey Bloom

00:05:30.740 And myself

00:05:31.880 Agree that probably the best thing to do

00:05:34.480 Was abandon them

00:05:35.340 From our point of view

00:05:37.260 At that point

00:05:37.800 It was a fait accompli

00:05:39.640 The Germans had sort of

00:05:41.260 Effectively already

00:05:42.260 Invested them and conquered them

00:05:44.440 This is in World War I

00:05:45.900 At the beginning of World War I

00:05:46.780 I'm talking about here

00:05:47.420 It was already too late

00:05:49.300 For a start

00:05:50.760 Secondly

00:05:51.440 It was just massively

00:05:52.900 Not in our interest

00:05:54.340 To do it

00:05:55.560 I mean, it's pretty scummy

00:05:56.660 To tell someone

00:05:57.420 You'll protect them

00:05:58.080 And then you don't

00:05:59.000 Okay

00:05:59.320 That is dishonourable

00:06:01.060 But then there's the

00:06:03.140 Real politics side

00:06:04.080 There's just the reality

00:06:05.340 Of things

00:06:07.000 Are we going to basically

00:06:09.040 Destroy ourselves

00:06:10.220 In order to uphold

00:06:12.180 A gentleman's agreement

00:06:13.940 That is already out of date

00:06:15.960 That is already

00:06:16.720 Broken beyond all recognition

00:06:18.560 Well, anyway

00:06:20.380 Caesar

00:06:21.440 Quite rightly

00:06:22.860 In the ancient mind

00:06:23.980 Or in the pre-modern mind

00:06:26.240 You know, they've given

00:06:27.840 They've accepted

00:06:28.960 The adui

00:06:29.900 Adui

00:06:30.600 As brothers and kinsmen

00:06:32.260 Of the Roman people

00:06:32.920 So that's quite close

00:06:34.960 At this point

00:06:36.680 In Roman history

00:06:37.420 Before you're swallowed up

00:06:39.080 As a full-blown

00:06:39.960 Colony

00:06:40.840 Or province

00:06:42.160 That's the best

00:06:44.080 You're going to get

00:06:44.920 That means the Romans

00:06:45.880 Have sort of got your back

00:06:46.980 Right

00:06:47.940 They've vouched for you

00:06:48.900 So the fact

00:06:49.840 They've been overrun

00:06:50.780 By the Germans

00:06:51.480 Caesar does feel himself

00:06:52.620 Honourbound

00:06:53.260 And he's not lying

00:06:54.640 Right

00:06:55.080 He's not just making that up

00:06:56.300 As an excuse

00:06:57.160 To continue conquest

00:06:59.260 And personal glory

00:07:01.100 That is fair enough

00:07:02.440 And legit

00:07:03.040 Okay, he continues

00:07:04.400 Furthermore

00:07:05.400 If the Germans

00:07:06.480 Gradually formed a habit

00:07:07.680 Of crossing the Rhine

00:07:08.620 And entering Gaul

00:07:09.720 In large numbers

00:07:10.540 He saw

00:07:11.520 Caesar

00:07:11.820 Saw

00:07:12.180 How dangerous

00:07:12.940 It would be

00:07:13.740 For the Romans

00:07:14.320 If these fierce barbarians

00:07:16.240 Occupied the whole of Gaul

00:07:17.420 The temptation

00:07:18.340 Would be too strong

00:07:19.320 For them

00:07:19.680 They would cross the frontier

00:07:21.220 Into the province

00:07:22.200 Trans-Alpine Gaul

00:07:23.680 Right in the south of France

00:07:24.740 As the Cimbri

00:07:26.040 And Teutoni

00:07:26.740 Had done before them

00:07:27.860 If you remember

00:07:29.140 In my episodes

00:07:30.060 About Marius

00:07:31.180 Back in the years

00:07:32.760 Sort of 109

00:07:34.700 To 100

00:07:36.200 Or 108

00:07:37.820 109

00:07:38.400 To the year

00:07:39.060 101 BC

00:07:40.620 So 60, 70 years

00:07:42.560 Before this

00:07:43.220 A good generation

00:07:43.920 Before this

00:07:44.540 Almost two

00:07:45.700 That's exactly

00:07:47.180 What had happened

00:07:47.740 Loads and loads

00:07:48.740 Of German tribes

00:07:49.580 Had kept coming

00:07:50.180 Across the Rhine

00:07:50.980 Completely

00:07:52.060 Infested France

00:07:53.700 And even

00:07:55.200 Spain

00:07:56.120 Parts of Spain

00:07:56.820 And then

00:07:57.520 Had tried

00:07:58.100 To cross

00:07:58.540 The Alps

00:07:59.080 Do you remember

00:08:00.180 And Marius

00:08:00.880 Had been sent

00:08:01.540 To stop them

00:08:02.420 And had succeeded

00:08:05.560 But it was

00:08:06.880 A pretty bloody affair

00:08:08.140 And it was

00:08:08.600 Touch and go

00:08:09.100 For a while

00:08:09.640 That was the

00:08:10.660 Cimbri

00:08:11.080 And the

00:08:12.100 Cimbri

00:08:13.120 And the

00:08:15.020 And Caesar said

00:08:15.040 That they had

00:08:17.260 Marched on Italy

00:08:18.240 For the Roman

00:08:19.560 Province lay just

00:08:20.840 Across the Rhone

00:08:21.620 From the territory

00:08:22.340 Of the Sequani

00:08:23.180 This danger

00:08:24.220 He considered

00:08:25.120 Must be provided

00:08:26.240 Against immediately

00:08:27.200 Moreover

00:08:28.140 Ariovistus

00:08:28.880 Personally

00:08:29.440 Had behaved

00:08:30.380 With quite

00:08:30.900 Intolerable

00:08:31.540 Arrogance

00:08:32.100 And pride

00:08:32.780 End quote

00:08:33.740 So yeah

00:08:34.900 It becomes clear

00:08:35.680 Caesar hasn't

00:08:36.260 Told us about it

00:08:36.940 In any detail yet

00:08:37.700 But it becomes

00:08:38.120 Clear later

00:08:38.620 That Caesar

00:08:39.500 And the Romans

00:08:39.980 Must already

00:08:40.580 Have been in

00:08:41.080 Contact

00:08:41.640 With Ariovistus

00:08:43.040 Back and forth

00:08:43.640 Messengers

00:08:44.140 And that Ariovistus

00:08:45.560 Was

00:08:45.900 Haughty

00:08:47.360 Or rather

00:08:48.000 He just didn't

00:08:48.840 Think he owed

00:08:49.520 Caesar anything

00:08:50.080 It seems like

00:08:50.540 He wasn't scared

00:08:51.240 Well we'll get

00:08:51.800 Into exactly

00:08:52.320 The degree

00:08:52.760 Of whether he

00:08:53.240 Was or wasn't

00:08:53.800 Scared of

00:08:54.260 Caesar and the

00:08:54.800 Romans

00:08:55.060 But he certainly

00:08:56.080 Wasn't scared

00:08:56.660 Of them

00:08:57.000 Enough

00:08:57.800 That he would

00:08:58.560 Just completely

00:08:59.180 Bend the knee

00:09:00.220 Just completely

00:09:01.540 Give in to

00:09:02.200 What they say

00:09:02.840 I mean because

00:09:03.680 In centuries to

00:09:04.340 Come

00:09:04.680 Some kingdoms

00:09:06.360 Just completely

00:09:07.880 Give in to

00:09:08.560 Rome without

00:09:09.080 A fight

00:09:09.540 Rome turns up

00:09:11.160 On their borders

00:09:11.780 With a legion

00:09:12.680 Or two

00:09:13.080 Or ten

00:09:14.160 And there's

00:09:15.620 No battle

00:09:16.080 They just say

00:09:17.280 Okay fine

00:09:17.940 Make us a

00:09:18.880 Province

00:09:19.180 We're happy to

00:09:19.880 Accept that

00:09:20.540 There's some

00:09:22.020 Kingdoms

00:09:22.520 Where even

00:09:22.980 When the king

00:09:23.680 Dias in his

00:09:24.660 Will

00:09:25.020 Just bequeaths

00:09:26.980 His kingdom

00:09:27.540 To Rome

00:09:28.100 The king

00:09:28.760 Of Pontus

00:09:29.300 Is an example

00:09:29.920 Of that

00:09:30.200 But there

00:09:30.440 Are lots

00:09:30.760 Of them

00:09:31.080 Quite a lot

00:09:32.060 Of them

00:09:32.340 Even though

00:09:33.280 Rome is

00:09:33.920 Sort of

00:09:34.240 A Mediterranean

00:09:35.660 Spanning

00:09:36.440 Empire

00:09:37.340 You know

00:09:38.280 After they

00:09:38.700 Defeated

00:09:39.340 Carthage

00:09:40.320 And after

00:09:40.600 They defeated

00:09:41.120 Macedonia

00:09:41.900 And after

00:09:43.220 Pompey's

00:09:44.240 Successes

00:09:44.740 In the

00:09:45.020 East

00:09:45.220 Which have

00:09:45.540 Already

00:09:45.720 Happened

00:09:46.080 If you

00:09:46.300 Remember

00:09:46.540 That's

00:09:46.820 Already

00:09:46.980 Happened

00:09:47.800 Rome is

00:09:48.620 Sort of

00:09:48.960 The preeminent

00:09:50.360 Power in

00:09:50.900 The world

00:09:51.320 But they're

00:09:52.700 Not undefeatable

00:09:53.720 Right

00:09:54.420 They can

00:09:54.880 Lose

00:09:55.500 If their

00:09:56.100 Generals

00:09:56.500 Are not

00:09:57.720 Up to

00:09:58.060 The job

00:09:58.500 I guess

00:09:59.120 Aravistus

00:09:59.640 Was hoping

00:10:00.060 Caesar

00:10:00.420 Wasn't

00:10:00.860 As great

00:10:01.880 As he

00:10:02.240 Might

00:10:02.440 Already

00:10:02.800 Seen

00:10:03.280 But Aravistus

00:10:05.220 Just isn't

00:10:05.640 Cowled

00:10:05.980 By Caesar

00:10:06.900 And the

00:10:07.100 Romans

00:10:07.340 He thinks

00:10:08.200 He can

00:10:08.600 Take them

00:10:09.280 On

00:10:09.460 And win

00:10:10.380 But Caesar

00:10:11.860 Continues

00:10:12.240 By saying

00:10:12.640 Accordingly

00:10:13.800 Caesar

00:10:14.020 Decided

00:10:14.480 To send

00:10:14.900 Envoys

00:10:15.520 Requiring

00:10:16.440 Him

00:10:16.780 Aravistus

00:10:17.460 To select

00:10:18.340 For a

00:10:18.720 Conference

00:10:19.180 Some place

00:10:20.060 Lying between

00:10:20.700 Their present

00:10:21.220 Positions

00:10:21.740 As he

00:10:22.620 Wanted to

00:10:23.120 Discuss

00:10:23.540 Business

00:10:23.940 Of state

00:10:24.580 Of the

00:10:25.320 Highest

00:10:25.640 Importance

00:10:26.240 To both

00:10:26.640 Of them

00:10:26.960 To this

00:10:27.560 Delegation

00:10:28.200 Aravistus

00:10:28.840 Replied

00:10:29.380 If I

00:10:30.540 Wanted

00:10:30.860 Anything

00:10:31.120 From Caesar

00:10:31.720 I should

00:10:32.420 Go to

00:10:32.740 Him

00:10:32.960 If he

00:10:33.620 Wants

00:10:33.820 Anything

00:10:34.100 From

00:10:34.420 Me

00:10:34.680 He

00:10:35.140 Must

00:10:35.320 Come

00:10:35.560 To

00:10:35.720 Me

00:10:35.980 Again

00:10:36.760 That's

00:10:36.980 Very

00:10:37.280 Halti

00:10:38.600 Or pretty

00:10:39.080 Halti

00:10:39.540 From Aravistus

00:10:40.300 Don't you

00:10:40.580 Think

00:10:40.760 I mean

00:10:41.820 Maybe it's

00:10:42.200 Halti

00:10:42.480 Maybe it's

00:10:42.880 Brave

00:10:43.360 Maybe it's

00:10:44.320 Full hardy

00:10:45.060 But it's

00:10:46.060 Quite ballsy

00:10:46.720 You know

00:10:47.060 He's just

00:10:47.380 Seen what

00:10:47.760 He's done

00:10:48.260 To the

00:10:48.940 Halvetti

00:10:49.320 He knows

00:10:50.100 This guy

00:10:50.580 Was great

00:10:51.220 In Spain

00:10:51.860 Knows the

00:10:52.940 Roman legions

00:10:53.740 Are a

00:10:54.720 Finely

00:10:55.180 Honed

00:10:55.720 Machine

00:10:56.200 A

00:10:56.740 Well

00:10:57.020 Oiled

00:10:57.420 Machine

00:10:57.980 And yet

00:10:58.860 He says

00:10:59.140 No

00:10:59.440 Caesar

00:11:00.300 Says

00:11:00.500 Come on

00:11:00.780 Let's

00:11:00.980 Have a

00:11:01.920 Summit

00:11:02.220 And he's

00:11:02.580 Like no

00:11:02.880 Come to

00:11:03.760 Me if

00:11:04.080 You want

00:11:04.360 To

00:11:04.600 If you

00:11:05.060 Want to

00:11:05.240 Talk to

00:11:05.520 Me

00:11:05.720 How about

00:11:06.620 That

00:11:06.900 Caesar

00:11:07.760 Goes on

00:11:08.200 Aravistus

00:11:09.080 Added

00:11:09.560 That he

00:11:10.120 Dared not

00:11:10.540 Come without

00:11:11.100 The protection

00:11:11.700 Of his

00:11:12.080 Army

00:11:12.440 Into the

00:11:12.940 Part of

00:11:13.340 Gaul

00:11:13.620 Occupied

00:11:14.160 By Caesar

00:11:14.740 He doesn't

00:11:15.600 Trust Caesar

00:11:16.140 Either

00:11:16.400 Doesn't

00:11:16.640 Trust the

00:11:17.020 Romans

00:11:17.280 Because the

00:11:18.120 Romans

00:11:18.300 When they

00:11:18.620 Want to

00:11:19.060 Can be

00:11:19.440 Very

00:11:19.820 Perfidious

00:11:21.060 The Romans

00:11:21.960 Certainly

00:11:22.420 Aren't

00:11:22.720 Above

00:11:23.120 A double

00:11:24.040 Cross

00:11:24.400 Or

00:11:25.040 A dirty

00:11:25.740 Trick

00:11:26.160 Or

00:11:26.800 Just

00:11:27.160 Murdering

00:11:27.740 You

00:11:27.960 When you've

00:11:28.920 Come to

00:11:29.280 Parley

00:11:29.800 Which is

00:11:31.640 You know

00:11:31.940 Fair enough

00:11:32.420 They sort of

00:11:33.580 Pretend they

00:11:34.140 Are above that

00:11:34.760 Sort of thing

00:11:35.220 But quite often

00:11:36.060 They're not

00:11:36.720 So

00:11:37.580 Aravistus

00:11:38.260 They're not

00:11:38.640 Coming to

00:11:38.960 Roman

00:11:39.120 Territory

00:11:39.540 Without

00:11:39.920 The protection

00:11:40.820 Of his

00:11:41.060 Army

00:11:41.300 And that

00:11:42.040 To

00:11:42.200 Concentrate

00:11:42.700 His

00:11:42.920 Forces

00:11:43.280 Would

00:11:43.940 Mean

00:11:44.140 Making

00:11:44.500 Elaborate

00:11:45.120 And

00:11:45.320 Troublesome

00:11:45.720 Arrangements

00:11:46.360 For

00:11:47.000 Provisioning

00:11:47.580 Them

00:11:47.820 He could

00:11:48.680 Not

00:11:48.880 Imagine

00:11:49.260 What

00:11:49.540 Business

00:11:50.000 Caesar

00:11:50.540 Or

00:11:51.020 The

00:11:51.180 Romans

00:11:51.480 At

00:11:51.680 All

00:11:51.840 For

00:11:51.980 That

00:11:52.140 Matter

00:11:52.420 Had

00:11:53.060 In

00:11:53.220 That

00:11:53.400 Part

00:11:53.680 Of

00:11:53.840 Gaul

00:11:54.180 Which

00:11:54.640 Was

00:11:54.800 His

00:11:55.100 By

00:11:55.320 Right

00:11:55.580 Of

00:11:55.700 Conquest

00:11:56.180 So

00:11:56.860 I

00:11:56.960 Mentioned

00:11:57.200 The

00:11:57.360 Right

00:11:57.600 Of

00:11:57.720 Conquest

00:11:58.040 Earlier

00:11:58.360 Didn't

00:11:58.600 I

00:11:58.800 In

00:11:59.380 Ariovistus

00:11:59.940 His

00:12:00.060 Mind

00:12:00.360 He's

00:12:00.640 Like

00:12:00.780 This

00:12:00.940 Is

00:12:01.120 My

00:12:02.020 Land

00:12:02.300 I

00:12:02.560 Want

00:12:03.100 It

00:12:03.220 Fair

00:12:03.440 And

00:12:03.580 Square

00:12:03.780 I

00:12:04.300 See

00:12:04.640 What

00:12:04.860 You're

00:12:05.040 Doing

00:12:05.440 Don't

00:12:06.380 Pretend

00:12:06.840 You're

00:12:07.140 Coming

00:12:07.480 For

00:12:07.780 A

00:12:07.980 Parley

00:12:08.580 And

00:12:09.280 That

00:12:09.420 We

00:12:19.580 That

00:12:19.900 But

00:12:20.140 Don't

00:12:20.440 Pretend

00:12:21.420 You're

00:12:22.000 Trying

00:12:23.960 The

00:12:24.060 Bad

00:12:24.340 Guy

00:12:24.640 I

00:12:28.700 Guys

00:12:29.140 But

00:12:29.800 It

00:12:43.380 Caesar

00:13:09.360 The

00:13:16.060 After
