- something on the wall. He does not, however see a group of Roman
- guards approaching from behind him led by a Centurian (Cntrian) who

- Ahh. No, not dative, not the dative, sir. Oh, Ah. Uh.
- The accusative accusative. Ah, Domum, sir. Ab domum! Ah! Oooh! Ah!
- Cntrian Except that 'domus' takes the?
- Brian The locative, sir.

- Brian Domum. Aaah! ah.

- Cntrian Domum... um... Understand?
- Brian Yes, sir.
- Cntrian Now write it out a hundred times.
- Brian Yes, sir. Thank you, sir. Hail Caeser, sir.
- Cntrian Hail Caeser. And if it's not done by sunrise, I'll cut your balls
- off.
- Brian Ooh, thank you, sir. Thank you, sir. Hail Caeser and everything, sir.
- Oh. Mmm!
