Reg:
They've bled us white, the bastards! They've taken everything we ever had! And not just from us, but from our fathers, and from our father's fathers!
Stan:
And from our father's father's fathers.
Reg:
Right.
Stan:
And from our father's father's father's fathers.
Reg:
Alright Stan, don't labour the point. And what have they ever given us in return?
Revolutionary #1:
...The aquaduct?
Reg:
What?
Revolutionary #1:
The aquaduct.
Reg:
Oh. Yeah, yeah they did give us that. That's true, yeah.
Revolutionary #2:
And, uh, sanitation.
Stan:
Oh yeah, the sanitation, Reg. Remember what the city USED to be like.
Reg:
Alright, I'll grant you the aquaduct and the sanitation. The two things the Romans HAVE done.
Matthias:
And the roads!
Reg:
Yeah, well obviously the roads! I mean, the roads go without saying, don't they? But APART from sanitation, the aquaducts and the roads...
Revolutionary #3:
Irrigation?
Revolutionary #1:
Medicine.
Revolutionary #5:
Education?
Reg:
Yeah, alright, fair enough...
Revolutionary #5:
And the wine!
[Everyone murmurs in agreement apart from an increasingly annoyed Reg]
Francis:
Yeah! Yeah, that's something we'd really miss, Reg, if the Romans left.
Revolutionary #6:
Public baths.
Stan:
And it's safe to walk in the streets at night now, Reg.
Francis:
Yeah, they certainly know how to keep order. Let's face it -- they're the only ones who COULD in a place like this.
[Everyone except Reg chuckles in agreement]
Reg:
Alright, but APART from the sanitation, the medicine, education, wine, public order, irrigation, roads, the fresh water system and public health... what have the Romans ever done for us?
Revolutionary #1:
...Brought peace.
Reg:
Oh, peace! Shut up!
