Here you are, at last my gorgeous queen.

Don't call me queen.

I'm just one of your slaves.

I am your slave.

Vladimir the Great! Greatest of the czars!

I'm on my knees

begging for your love. I'm a miserable mortal.

Ask me whatever you want. I will give you freedom.

I'll make you a rich woman.

Rich and powerful.

The whole world will kneel at your feet.

Your denial is a torture for me with your refusal, with your silence.

I am just something you paid for to play with.

Play, then.

I want your warmth.

Yout love.

Your blood.

Your life.

- What do you want? - The prisoner has just confessed. - Well?

Hi is the leader of a bunch of rebels inciting the populace against us.

- Their names? - There's no way to make him tell.

Take him back to prison and let him starve to death!

- God's already taken his soul. - The devil, not God!

Don't dirt God's name with that scum!

Cut him to pieces and give him to the dogs.

Let them feast in the kingdom's honor!

Don't disturb me anymore!

Then, my queen.

Do with me what you please?

Why you don't want to share the fire that burns inside of you.

How can I convince you.

What is your dearest thing?

I offer churches and believers to my God.

You are above him, I offer myself.

- Swear. - By God!

- You'll do everything I want, won't you? - You only have to ask.

I want your dearest thing.

The power!

I want your power!

I want your power, for one day.

My power would be a nuisance for you even for one day. Believe me.

I want to be in your place for one day.

Why don't you answer me?

Is this the love you have for me?

- You're nothing without power! - Do you realize what you're asking me?

And you?

You see?

Fine.

My kingdom will be yours for a day. You decide when.

- Tomorrow. - Tomorrow?

Fine. You have my word.

But, please,

don't let me wait one more night, I would die!

Tomorrow you will reign, but now I beg you,

one more night of waiting would drive me crazy!

You know how to get your relief. They're all yours, aren't they?

If you want, I'll order to throw them to the dogs, because you are the one I want.

Tomorrow.

My sweet queen!

I'm still a slave.

Now I'm your slave.

All of your desires will be fulfilled.

Get on your knees.

Kiss my foot.

Stand up.

You scare me.

Are you repenting?

If I should die because of you...

I'd love it.

Well, what is your first wish, my queen?

I want the Minister of Finance.

You want the Minister of Finance?

The Minister of Finance.

Why? You want a gift? If so, ask it to me!

I'll give you everything you want.

Just ask and I'll cover you up with gold!

Shut up!

Or you can take back your power.

No, no, enjoy it! Please.

The Minister of Finance!

What now? Which is your next wish?

I want you to marry me today.

You're scared.

No, no, you have the power but you have it only for today, not for the whole life.

And you could obtain more being my lover than my wife.

Give all the money to the people.

But, my dear, an advice...

look, I would like you to understand...

- Such a thing, would lead to a revolution. - Do as I say!

Your head is becoming a useless thing.

See, people like submission.

They're used to live with nothing.

But if you give them a chance to think they can ask for more, you won't be able to control them anymore.

That would be the end for all of us.

Please, desist from your proposal.

So there are more important things than your love for me!

Don't talk! Each of your words is a lie!

You don't know what love is.

- Bring all your slaves here. - My slaves?!

Here in the throne room? It's a sacrilege!

What about me? Am I not a slave?

What are you talking about?

You're the queen today!

- I want to test your patience. - Your power has no limits.

Bring the slaves in!

You'll be free at sunset.

But I have a present for you now.

The prisoners will be released too.

You'll enjoy a rich meal all together.

Thank your queen.

I can do a lot of things before the end of the day.

Do everything you want. I only want you.

When the day will be over you'll kill me.

I'll love you.

Get it.

Very well.

On your knees.

Use your mouth.

Come closer.

Your master wants to watch as we make love.

Guards!

Cut her to pieces and throw her to the dogs.

May they feast in the kingdom's honor.

Very good! You're the queen of the Amazons.

Bravo, Ivanovic, bravo!

Do I really deserve to be the daughter of Russia's richest man?

You're my wife now Varvara, and I'm proud of you. And of your beauty.

Of your stunning beauty.

Stand still, Ivanovic, stand still! He's upset.

As if he's feeling your femininity.

- Are you jealous?! - My dear, jealousy comes from suspiciousness.

And it becomes rage when suspicion becomes certainty.

Only the weak is jealous, someone who doesn't trust himself.

I'm not suspicious about you, you're the ideal wife.

And I'm very pleased, entirely.

Thank you my love.

It's you I have to thank for letting me partake of your beauty.

Go now and get ready for dinner. We have guests tonight! Have you forgotten?

Undress, princess Varvara!

You'll have the company you deserve.

Tarassof! Tarassof!

Oh, have mercy, Tarassof! Oh, Tarassof! Tarassof...

Have mercy...

Have mercy!

No, Tarassof!

Oh, no...

I see to my regret that you enjoy your punishment.

From now on...

...you won't get food anymore.

You're possessed by the devil!

"Juda's first son Er..."

"married Tamar but God found him."

"guilty and made him die."

"Then Judas said to Onan, his second son."

"Go to your brother's wife..."

"... and give her have a progeny."

"But Onan, knew that the seed was not his..."

"...when he approached the wife of his brother..."

"...Onan prevented conception pouring his sperm on the ground..."

"... not to give offspring to his brother."

"His conduct displeased God who made him die too."

From Onan, comes the word onanism, synonym of masturbation...

"though Onan practised "coitus interruptus".

You!

How many books form the New Testament?

Were they written before or after Jesus death?

There are twenty seven books in the New Testament...

...and they were written after Jesus death and delivered to the Church...

... as standards of belief and action.

I always tell to myself this thing has to end but I can't resist!

What did you do to me, coward of my life?

- Are you sure your husband won't be coming? - No, no, no!

- Don't worry about him, think of us! - Oh, yes!

- Why did they send you to bed without dinner? - I lied.

You lied?

I've heard your mother saying...

...she found you rummaging in her room.

It's true?

Good night.

Who declared holy the war...

...between Italians and Saracens?

(Pope John the 8th. Yes, yes, was Pope John the 8th.)

Pope John the 8th. Pope John the 8th!

Pope John the 8th!

Pope John the 8th!

It's seems as though you will never learn. Bend over!

Thomas, are you in there?

Thomas? Are you there?

Answer.

Are you trying to scare me?

Thomas?

I know you're hiding there to scare me, but I'm not afraid.

- Thomas? Thomas? - Ssh!

- What are you doing alone in the dark? - Ssh!

Come here and don't make any noise, so no one hear us.

What are you doing, peeping at your mother?

- She has a lover? - Who? - She, my mother.

- Your mother has a lover?! - Ssh! Don't let her notice we are here.

- How do you know about that? - I saw them.

She's beautiful, isn't she?

- When did you see them? - I saw them.

- I saw them... doing that thing. - Which thing? What thing? - Ssh!

- He kissed her... there. - I don't believe you.

She was lying on the couch and he was on his knees.

- Then she kissed his... - And then? - Ssh!

There he goes!

I'm going away, I don't want to stay here. Aren't you ashamed?!

- What do you find in this? - Pleasure. I find pleasure.

I don't see how you can find pleasure in peeping at your mother.

It's disgusting. Disgusting, disgusting, disgusting!

- Take this. - What for? What should I do with this?

Beat me! Come on, beat me!

You want me to beat you?

Are you crazy?

Beat me! Beat me on the ass, I beg you!

You're crazy!

I'm not your teacher.

You think you're expiating your sins by being beaten?

Beat me! Or I'm going to tell all my friend you were here with me.

Did I hurt you? No, I can't, I cannot do it.

You're not going to get me!

Now I'll tie you to the mainmast of the ship and you're not escape from me, pirate Barbanera !

Yes, tie me! Imprison your slave and torture him to death!

- How can you like this? - I don't know but I like it. I like it as it is.

- Quick, tie me! - May I confess you something?

- Sure. - I like it too?

They are slow tied! Tighter! Tighter!

Beat me! Beat me, beat me, beat me, beat me, beat me, beat me!

Hello little one.

How are you this morning?

Wonderful! Your marvelous, my dear!

What's that red on your face!

It's my fault, ma'am. I've been keeping her here for more than an hour.

Good. You have to suffer to enjoy pleasure! It's not true?

Look how wonderful is.

You don't seem to be enthusiastic. That picture is not so good, and then in black and with...

Black and white or color, that's not the problem.

Look at his smile...

What's wrong with his smile? He's so elegant, and looks so clever.

If you think so...

Remember, it's the woman that makes the man.

The man just needs to be good, polite and rich! And he has all of these qualities.

Oh, I forgot! Guess who's just arrived? Your cousin Harris, from London.

He's so grown up that I almost missed to recognize him.

I'm finisher. We can take this off It will be ready for tonight, ma'am.

Please be on time.

What a happy wedding it will be!

- You're a man, now... - I'm just two years older than you.

- You know, I turned 18. - I know it.

- It seems like yesterday. - We were kids.

Tomorrow I'll be married.

When are you going to show and teach me all those strange...

...and beautiful things you told me when we used to play doctor?

We were kids.

You told me that when we would have been older...

We are now.

I can't just tell you... without showing.

Than show me. What are you waiting for?

This is a kiss.

I know.

You always have to start with a kiss.

Go on.

Touch it...

I've remained a virgin for you, as I promised,

...and you haven't been able to take me!

I kept my promise.

- My husband will take me, then! - Wait, Giovanna!

I want to talk to you!

- I didn't mean to scare you. - Please, sir.

- What's this? - Chamomile-tea for the young mistress.

I'll bring it to her.

Don't worry, I'll make a good service!

- Is everybody else asleep? - Yes, sir.

- Goodnight. - Goodnight.

Giovanna?

Giovanna?

Giovanna!

Hey!

Really beautiful! That's it! You're wonderful!

Let's go, we're late. We don't want to upset our hosts, do we!

Hi.

You know, Harris, I've had a strange dream last night.

Maybe I've had the same dream too.

Then why don't we meet after the ceremony? We could talk about our dream...
