15
At 00:02:23,560, Character said: 300...

16
At 00:02:42,621, Character said: Hello?

17
At 00:02:45,165, Character said: He found himself in a hallway
no one had entered in thousands of years.

18
At 00:04:02,826, Character said: 310.

19
At 00:04:03,994, Character said: Will you set me free?

20
At 00:04:06,997, Character said: Wait!

21
At 00:04:15,339, Character said: I have stories in me.

22
At 00:04:17,341, Character said: Many stories. Would you like to hear one?

23
At 00:04:22,930, Character said: Then the mechanical people
knew they had to hide.

24
At 00:04:26,850, Character said: The large ones hid in very large spaces
and the small ones in very small spaces,

25
At 00:04:32,564, Character said: with their knees folded up to their ears...

26
At 00:04:34,525, Character said: The segmented woman
in the hidden chamber

27
At 00:04:36,944, Character said: was the first secret the prince
ever kept from his parents.

28
At 00:04:41,615, Character said: He came back often to hear her tell
of the Empire's expansion,

29
At 00:04:45,994, Character said: of the Robot Wars,
of a home planet called "Earth."

30
At 00:04:49,998, Character said: She stayed the same,
but, of course, the prince grew.

31
At 00:04:55,295, Character said: What kind of name is Demerzel anyway?

32
At 00:04:59,341, Character said: It's a woman's name,
as that is how I appear now.

33
At 00:05:03,971, Character said: An old name, but not my first.

34
At 00:05:07,599, Character said: How old are you?

35
At 00:05:09,643, Character said: I have told you. Just over 18,000 years.

36
At 00:05:14,481, Character said: You're a liar. Nothing lasts that long.

37
At 00:05:23,866, Character said: And you say you don't sleep.

38
At 00:05:25,492, Character said: I don't.

39
At 00:05:27,244, Character said: I wait.

40
At 00:05:30,080, Character said: For me?

41
At 00:05:31,665, Character said: You're the only one who comes.

42
At 00:05:33,458, Character said: There's a mechanism in here
to put you back together, you know.

43
At 00:05:36,253, Character said: I would like very much to be free.

44
At 00:05:38,589, Character said: If I did it,
then you would be freer than me.

45
At 00:05:43,218, Character said: That doesn't seem right, does it?

46
At 00:05:45,679, Character said: Cleon, you are upset,
and it's making you unpleasant.

47
At 00:05:50,142, Character said: What has happened?

48
At 00:05:59,318, Character said: My mother has died.

49
At 00:06:01,528, Character said: I'm sorry.

50
At 00:06:03,864, Character said: I'm one hour an emperor.

51
At 00:06:06,366, Character said: In the morning,
they chain me to the throne.

52
At 00:06:08,660, Character said: It isn't a prison sentence.

53
At 00:06:10,704, Character said: You have the power
to shape the Imperium into what you want.

54
At 00:06:14,708, Character said: That's hardly what they're telling me.

55
At 00:06:16,668, Character said: Traditions, alliances.
Some trouble in the Gold Horse sector.

56
At 00:06:20,464, Character said: I barely g***t away
from my army of advisers.

57
At 00:06:23,342, Character said: And I may not be able to come again.

58
At 00:06:27,471, Character said: I see.

59
At 00:06:33,018, Character said: Do you trust these advisers?

60
At 00:06:35,562, Character said: Maybe.

61
At 00:06:39,024, Character said: I don't wanna think about it right now.

62
At 00:06:46,198, Character said: In the long ago, but not far away,
I was a leader of soldiers.

63
At 00:06:53,664, Character said: After we lost a famous battle,

64
At 00:06:56,208, Character said: I was taken captive
and brought before Emperor Aburanis.

65
At 00:07:00,963, Character said: Like you, he was new to the throne,
but he was unlike you in every other way.

66
At 00:07:07,719, Character said: He was no Cleon.

67
At 00:07:09,304, Character said: He didn't make the room brighter.

68
At 00:07:12,432, Character said: He was fascinated by a machine woman.

69
At 00:07:16,979, Character said: He made incisions
and studied what he found.

70
At 00:07:21,650, Character said: He loved to watch my face, too,
to see how I reacted.

71
At 00:07:27,739, Character said: I saw he liked to imagine I felt pain.

72
At 00:07:31,910, Character said: I produced tears for him,

73
At 00:07:34,121, Character said: which he valued as much
as the knowledge he gained.

74
At 00:07:38,417, Character said: In time, he realized he would die,
and I would remain,

75
At 00:07:44,047, Character said: and that I had also paid attention
and learned from him.

76
At 00:07:48,177, Character said: He worried I might use the knowledge
to revive the war.

77
At 00:07:53,307, Character said: In the end, he made this mechanism
so that I could never walk free.

78
At 00:07:57,936, Character said: I don't understand.

79
At 00:08:00,898, Character said: Why didn't he destroy you?

80
At 00:08:02,733, Character said: I ** rare. Perhaps unique.

81
At 00:08:07,029, Character said: The key to making more of my kind.

82
At 00:08:09,656, Character said: Cleon, you're unique too.

83
At 00:08:13,035, Character said: You're wiser than your predecessor.

84
At 00:08:15,704, Character said: You have more power
than your advisers wish you to know.

85
At 00:08:19,875, Character said: If you wanted to bring me out of here,
put me at your side, you could do it.

86
At 00:08:24,671, Character said: You just want to get out of this chamber.

87
At 00:08:26,131, Character said: No. Cleon...

88
At 00:08:28,050, Character said: Don't call me that!

89
At 00:08:30,302, Character said: I ** Empire!

90
At 00:08:33,013, Character said: And you will not see me again.

91
At 00:08:46,902, Character said: He came back, of course.

92
At 00:08:49,905, Character said: Demerzel was his best secret
and his only friend.

93
At 00:08:53,909, Character said: And it no longer seemed right
to leave her n***d and in pieces.

94
At 00:09:31,488, Character said: Did it work? Are you all right?

95
At 00:09:34,074, Character said: I ** whole. Thank you, Cleon.

96
At 00:09:41,039, Character said: Not freedom. Just...

97
At 00:09:45,002, Character said: integration.

98
At 00:09:46,879, Character said: It is a welcome improvement.

99
At 00:09:53,719, Character said: I've brought you this.

100
At 00:10:04,479, Character said: It is beautiful.

101
At 00:10:06,481, Character said: It's only because I need you
that I cannot free you.

102
At 00:10:09,985, Character said: I've been in this chamber for 5,000 years.

103
At 00:10:14,406, Character said: Another few decades won't matter.

104
At 00:10:16,366, Character said: You're that confident I will free you?

105
At 00:10:22,331, Character said: You want something from me.

106
At 00:10:30,214, Character said: You once told me that
stories become burdens if left untold.

107
At 00:10:34,801, Character said: It's been a while
since I heard one from you.

108
At 00:10:46,688, Character said: In the long ago, but not far away,

109
At 00:10:51,568, Character said: I met a concubine in an ancient court.

110
At 00:10:57,574, Character said: Every night, after she
and the king had taken their pleasure,

111
At 00:11:02,454, Character said: she would tell me of it
as if it were her first time.

112
At 00:11:06,583, Character said: And every morning,

113
At 00:11:08,418, Character said: after she had slept,

114
At 00:11:10,671, Character said: she had forgotten it had happened at all
as if by magic.

115
At 00:11:15,884, Character said: And in this way, the king had
a delighted virgin in his bed every night.

116
At 00:11:22,182, Character said: She was a court dancer
with a great, natural grace.

117
At 00:11:26,270, Character said: So, even her perpetually amateur attempts
to please him did not suffer...

118
At 00:11:31,984, Character said: Demerzel's stories grew more
explicit, tempting the prince to desire.

119
At 00:11:37,531, Character said: She said he would free her someday,
and he grew to believe it was true.

120
At 00:11:43,871, Character said: She was right, of course,
but it took many years.

121
At 00:11:48,375, Character said: Greetings, Cleon.

122
At 00:11:50,252, Character said: Congratulations on your marriage.

123
At 00:11:52,796, Character said: I called it off.

124
At 00:11:53,797, Character said: My advisers are furious.

125
At 00:11:56,175, Character said: You're no longer a young man.

126
At 00:11:58,093, Character said: Your people will have expected
an heir long before now.

127
At 00:12:01,513, Character said: Why?

128
At 00:12:03,015, Character said: She wasn't you.

129
At 00:12:06,143, Character said: I thought about Emperor Aburanis

130
At 00:12:08,353, Character said: and how he spent his later years
learning to keep you captive.
