"Do not pity me, Master Judah. In fact, I'm twice the man I was. There's Mallet, my other half. We met in the dungeons at the citadel. We were released on the same day, Mallet without a tongue and I without life in my legs. Since then, I have been his tongue and he has been my legs. Together, we make a considerable man."

(Reencontro de Simonides e Judah Ben-Hur, em "Ben-Hur" de 1959)

 

Um filme tão longo e intenso, com lutas, quadrigas, batalhas de galeras, e recordo desde miúdo esta pequena fala.
