Beauty and the Beast (La bella e la bestia)

THE SLAVE

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. The Greatest of the czars.

I'm on my knees begging for your love. I'm a miserable mortal.

Ask me whatever you want.

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.

I am just something you paid for to play with. Play, then.

I want your warmth.

Your love. Your blood.

Your life.

What do you want?

The prisoner has just confessed.

He 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!

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.

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.

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.

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...

because of you, I'd love it.

If I should die because of you I'd love it.

What is your first wish?

I want the Minister of Finance.

You want the Minister of Finance...

You want 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. 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. 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...

That would lead to a revolution!

Do as I say!

Your head is becoming a useless thing.

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.

Quiet Ivanovic.

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

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

Quiet Ivanovic. 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.

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.

Undress, Barbara!
