Notes from a bemused canuck
King Leonidas: [on being told the Persians are coming to parley] Captain, I leave you in charge.
Captain: But, sire…
King Leonidas: Relax, old friend. If they assassinate me, all of Sparta goes to war. Pray they’re that stupid. Pray we’re that lucky.
[He takes another bite of apple, as the Captain notices a Persian soldier, still alive]
King Leonidas: Besides, there’s no reason we can’t be civil, is there?
Captain: [stabs the Persian] None, sire.
Xerxes: Come Leonidas, let us reason together. It would be a regrettable waste. It would be nothing short of madness for you, brave king, and your valiant troops to perish. All because of a simple misunderstanding. There is much our cultures could share.
King Leonidas: Haven’t you noticed? We’ve been sharing our culture with you all morning.
