Batiatus:
There I was, better than a millionaire in the morning and a penniless refugee by nightfall with nothing but these rags and my poor flesh to call of my own. All because of Crassus decides to break his journey at Capua with a couple of capricious, over-painted nymphs! These two daughters of Venus had to taunt the gladiators, force them to fight to the death and before I knew what had happened, *revolution* on my hands!
Gracchus:
What revenge have you in mind?
Batiatus:
I sold Crassus this woman, Varinia. May the gods give her wens. There was no contract, but she was clearly his slave as soon as the deal was made. Now she's off with Spartacus killing people in their beds. And Crassus, no mention of the money, no!
Gracchus:
You never offered me this woman. Why not?
Batiatus:
Well, she's not remotely your type, Gracchus. She is very thin and...
Gracchus:
Look around you. You'll see women of all sizes. 500 sesterces deposit on Varinia. Since he hasn't paid, this gives me first call over Crassus.
Batiatus:
May the Gods adore you! Why would you buy a woman that you have never seen?
Gracchus:
To annoy Crassus, of course, and to help you.
