Post by bunniefuu »

-Are you insane?

-[screams]

Smashing every

household shrine!

Have you forgotten

we're completely dependent

on his charity?

He's taken a risk

sheltering us.

Do you understand that?

I've come back for my birth.

But for that,

I need a new husband.

Someone with money

and influence.

-[kissing]

-Livia?

-You're all grown up.

-So are you.

Get the chains off!

Years of w*r, Gaius,

struggle, and luck.

brought you here.

I'd be very sorry

to see you throw it all away.

Do you think

he's a better bet than me?

How long do you think

he'll last

sharing power

with Marcus Antonius?

-I'll never be your mistress.

-Then state your terms.

-I want my inheritance back.

-In return, what do I get?

You get to divorce Scribonia

and marry Livia Drusilla

of the Claudii.

[laughing]

[Scribonia]

Good and beautiful Proserpina,

queen of the dead

and wife of Pluto,

lord of the underworld.

It's me, Scribonia,

daughter

of Lucius Scribonius Libo.

Today I ask you

to make burning pains

in the womb of Livia Drusilla.

Let the baby of Gaius Julius

in the womb of Livia Drusilla

die in writhing agony.

Let the baby of Livia Drusilla

and Gaius Julius

slither out onto the floor,

stinking and dead

like those before it.

Then let blood pour from

the vag*na of Livia Drusilla

until she dies

in grief and despair.

Take mother and child into your

underworld, kind Proserpina,

and let them rot there

in darkness

for the rest of time.

Do this for me,

generous Proserpina,

before the Ides of January,

and in return I will give you

red wine, dates,

and a litter of pink piglets.

The Saturnalia is

an ancient, religious festival,

not an excuse

to get blind drunk.

A day of freedom is a privilege,

so this year anyone

coming back after dark

or soiling the floor

will be dealing with me.

The ladies Octavia and Scribonia

are invited today,

so those responsible

will make sure the dinner

is left out ready in the kitchen

and the table is set.

Thank you.

Hey.

Lord, forgive me, but

you've got visitors.

It's a holiday.

Senators.

Corvinus and Crassus.

Murena, too.

The rest I don't know.

We knew someone would come

sooner or later.

Didn't think Crassus

would be one of them.

Your enemies

are coming out in the open.

It's better that way.

They haven't come

to k*ll you, not here.

Not now.

Those two are smarter than that.

That's what Caesar thought.

Crassus.

Murena. Corvinus.

[laughs] Welcome.

[indistinct greetings]

[Gaius] Welcome.

[Crassus] How's Livia?

Will she be joining us?

[Gaius] You're referring

to the malicious rumor

that my wife has opinions

on politics.

And that I actually

listen to them.

[laughing]

Forgive this intrusion

on a public holiday,

but we wanted to talk

unofficially

before the Senate reconvenes

in the new year.

On behalf of the Senate

as a whole,

we were hoping to get some sense

of your views on the future.

-The future?

-How you see things evolving.

Or not.

Huh.

We've all lived

through turbulent times.

Since the k*lling of Caesar,

an entire generation

has known nothing but civil w*r.

But now the wars are over

and have been for a while.

Yes, how time flies.

Amazing to think

it's been 15 years

since you, Marcus Antonius,

and Lepidus were granted

complete and absolute powers

over everything.

By the Senate itself.

For a certain fixed term

which lapsed some time ago.

Well, special measures

were necessary.

[Crassus] And now

Marcus Antonius is dead,

and Lepidus may as well be.

So, suddenly

there's just you.

All of which the Senate has been

wondering leaves us where?

Legally.

Constitutionally.

Practically.

Now that the peace

has been restored

and your work is, well

done.

You were right.

The Senate just told me

to step down or else.

Caesar chose "or else,"

and look what happened to him.

I'm not f*cking

stepping anywhere.

All right.

But we can't make

the same mistake.

♪♪

Father

this is the cheese you like

from our old farm in Caperna,

which did very well last year.

Gaius won't give back power.

Like Caesar,

he's defying the Senate.

Anything could happen.

Gaius has been a good husband

and a father

to Tiberius and Drusus.

You know I've come to love him.

I don't want him

to die like Caesar.

Maybe there's still a way

to restore the Republic.

[exhales sharply]

Help me find it.

[Drusus] You ready?

[Tiberius]

Come on, Romulus. Come on.

[Drusus] Tiberius

-you'll lose again.

-[Tiberius] Come on.

[Drusus] Oh, yes.

Let's keep going, Remus!

All the way,

all the way, all the way.

[Tiberius]

Romulus is catching up.

[Drusus] That's cheating!

[Tiberius] Hey, you put him

ahead at the start.

[Maecenas] Tell me

who else knows about this.

Maecenas.

Ah!

Agrippa.

I was just saying, we should

tell Crassus to f*ck off.

I know. I heard you

from the garden.

And I was just saying

they are forcing him to choose.

Either step down

and formally hand everything

back to the Senate,

which is effectively

restoring the Republic,

or tell the Senate to go

formally f*ck themselves,

which would be admitting

you're now a dictator.

Why can't we just ignore them?

Because they're right.

My position is ill*gal

and unconstitutional.

So fine.

You'd make a great dictator.

[Maecenas]

That was never the idea.

Was it?

[Agrippa] Well, the minute we

step down, we'll be vulnerable.

We've made a lot of enemies.

We'll make a lot more

if you don't.

Caesar was stabbed 23 times

outside the Senate.

Those mad-dog Republicans

are all dead now.

Sorry, Livia, I, uh

I meant no disrespect

to your father.

It's all right, Agrippa.

He was a mad-dog Republican.

What I'm saying is,

people are sick of w*r.

They'll take a dictator

in return for peace.

For a while.

Until suddenly they won't.

[Agrippa] All right.

You're right. Let's k*ll them.

Corvinus and Crassus

and the rest of them.

-That's not what I was saying.

-Well, it worked before.

That sounds just like

"Go f*ck yourselves" to me.

[Agrippa] So what? You just want

to give it all away.

To an ambitious little f*ck

like Corvinus?

He doesn't care

about the Republic.

He just wants to be you.

And Crassus.

He fought against us with Sextus

and then with Antonius.

We've been at w*r

all our lives.

We earned this the hard way.

Why should we hand it back?

It's yours, Gaius.

Take it. Take it now.

[Maecenas] You're better

than that, Gaius.

It's time to show it.

They're both right.

You have to choose.

One or the other.

And fast.

Where are you going?

I promised to take the boys

to see their father

while you make your mind up.

[Drusus, laughing] Oh, please

don't stop there. Come on.

No, he's gonna catch up.

Quick! Keep going. Keep going.

-Come on.

-Tiberius, Drusus.

-Your mother's here.

-[Drusus] Quick.

Are you gambling?

It's the Saturnalia, Antigone.

-We're allowed.

-[Chuckling]

Yeah?

Come! Quick!

Come! Quiet.

-Wait. Okay, go, go.

-Go, go, go!

Make sure it's

Tiberius's terrapin.

-Stop ordering me around.

-Go!

It's my plan!

-[chuckling]

-Let me see this.

-Careful. Careful.

-It's the right one.

Let's go. Let's go.

[chuckling]

Iullus, wait. I'm not allowed

to leave the house alone.

You're with us.

Come.

Greet your father.

Hello, Father. It's us.

Father, please accept

this gift of wine

-from our estate at Privernum.

-He can have the cakes.

They're stale.

He'll like them that way.

The wine's for your grandfather.

You're always mean about Father.

He betrayed the Republic.

We keep that to ourselves.

Marcellus said

you poisoned him. Father.

He says everyone knows

that you invited him to dinner

so you could poison him.

[Livia] Marcellus said that?

Listen to me.

Both of you.

I had nothing

against your father.

But if I wanted

to poison anyone,

the last place I'd do it

is my own dinner party.

It was just some bad oysters.

And you know how your father

loved oysters.

I told Marcellus

he was a liar.

Then he stuck your head

in the toilet.

No, he didn't!

Tiberius!

I got Marcellus back after.

A Roman fights

his own battles.

I'd like to know where Marcellus

heard that rumor.

Why?

It's not true.

Exactly.

Look at his little

terra-p*nis.

-No, it's a tail.

-That is a terra-p*nis.

-[laughing]

-[Woman] Whoo!

[scoffs]

Now what?

Well, now we just wait until

Tiberius finds out it's gone.

Right, and then it's, "Sorry,

we stole your stupid terrapin."

He's not coming out.

[Julia] No, Iullus,

we'll just quietly put it back

after he's spent ages

looking for it.

-And is that funny?

-It's the Saturnalia, stupid.

People play jokes on pe

-[Iullus groans]

-[Julia] Marcellus!

What did you do that for?

Because it's Tiberius's.

[Octavia] Antonia!

Okay. Go, go, go.

[Octavia] Vinnius is here.

We're late for dinner!

Where are Marcellus and Iullus?

Behind you, Mother.

Where have you

You have not been out alone?

We saw a dead body.

Well, Vinnius will get rid

of it. What were you thinking?

We will talk about this later.

Julia,

I shall tell your mother.

[Scribonia] Tell me what?

[indistinct chattering]

Marcella,

where's your husband?

Agrippa's already here. Uncle

Gaius called him over at dawn.

-So who will?

-I'm not scared of Livia.

-Then you're stupid!

-You're stupid.

Why don't you k*ll him, too?

[indistinct chattering]

-Welcome, everyone!

-Ah!

Happy Saturnalia.

So good to see you.

These are for you.

Thank you.

-How's the bump?

-I felt a kick this morning.

-I've been praying for you.

-Thank you.

Oh, Julia.

Don't worry.

We'll find him.

I heard a rumor today that

I poisoned my first husband.

Yes, I heard that, too.

-I hope you did.

-I wish I had.

Can we please eat, Gaius?

We ask great Saturn,

to whom these days of freedom

are devoted,

to bring us health

and prosperity.

May he remember this family

and keep us safe

from our enemies.

We are all of us here

bound together forever by blood.

And there is nothing greater

than that.

Family.

-Family.

-[All] Family.

[laughing]

Stop. Stop it.

What did I tell you earlier?

Marcellus!

I don't know

what you were thinking.

Hello? Marcellus, Iullus,

I'm talking to you.

Taking Julia out

in the street [continues]

Did you make up your mind yet?

-He always takes forever.

-I know.

Wasting his time

thinking about stuff.

[Agrippa] Huh! Exactly.

We need to find Romulus

whilst they're at dinner.

I've already searched

the house twice.

Ugh!

-[exhales]

-Mm.

It's those kids again.

Come on.

Let's look outside.

Mm.

-[sighs]

-[Gaius] You all right?

[chuckles]

Yes.

Just pregnant.

I've made up my mind

about the Senate.

[moans]

But I still want to know

what you think I should do.

You won the w*r,

made your fortune and brought

honor to your family.

You have nothing left to prove

to me or anyone else.

We have everything

we'll ever need.

Step back.

Live life.

And make history as the Roman

who restored the Republic.

The Republic

was corrupt and lazy

and complacent.

We can achieve so much more.

So, a dictator, then?

No, Livia.

I don't want to be a dictator.

I want to be a God.

[chuckles]

All right.

Then that's what we'll do.

We found Romulus.

-What?

-Tiberius's terrapin.

Down a sewer opening

in an alley near the house.

They tried to hide the body

there after they k*lled it.

Who knows about this?

-Only Tycho and me.

-Keep it that way.

I've been telling you to step in

and stop them bullying Tiberius.

He's nearly a man.

He needs to stand up

for himself.

-It's gone too far.

-This city will eat you alive.

You need to speak to Octavia.

I've spent the last ten years

making friends with Octavia

and pretending to do the same

with Scribonia.

I'm not blowing that

over a f*cking terrapin.

[Rooster crows]

We don't need to make

an announcement.

There's no point

provoking the Senate.

And we don't want to start

another w*r, unless we have to.

We already gave control of

the treasury back to the Senate.

We re-opened the law courts.

They want their legions back,

Gaius.

That's what this is all about.

You control the army,

you control everything.

You know that and so do they.

You give the army back,

you're nothing.

-They know that, too.

-I'm not giving the army back!

I'll buy Crassus off

with a big campaign.

He can avenge his grandfather's

defeat in Parthia,

get the lost army standards

back.

You promised me that campaign.

I also need you to resign

as consul for next year.

I have to give it

to someone else.

Corvinus. Murena?

Piso.

Gaius, he was my father's

closest friend.

He fought against Caesar.

He fought against you.

He's the leader of

the old Republican faction,

such as it is now.

Having him as the other consul

will make everything

feel very reassuring.

He'll know that.

He won't take it.

He will

if you ask him.

Go to him privately.

-For me.

-[scoffs]

-He loves you like a daughter.

-He did till I married you.

-He owes you his life.

-He doesn't know that.

If anyone can get him

to be consul with me,

it's you.

[Horse neighing]

Should you be riding?

You did promise Agrippa

that campaign.

[Drusus] What do you want,

Marcellus?

Can we help you?

We, um we heard you were

looking for your terrapin.

We're very good

at finding terrapins.

You're not good at anything,

Marcellus.

[Marcellus] What did you say?

I said, "f*ck you."

[Grunting]

[Marcellus] Let go of me!

-[Tycho] All right.

-[Antigone] Enough!

[Drusus] I don't need your help.

Leave my boys alone and get out!

My father was a Roman consul.

You were a sl*ve and a wh*re.

[Angry scream]

-[Grunts]

-Don't!

[Antigone] Drusus.

Let's go.

[loud moaning, squealing]

Crassus! You

You can come now.

-[Julia] Mother!

-Who's that?

-Your wife.

-[Julia] Mother!

-What?

-[chuckling] Wait here.

[panting]

[grunts]

You'll never guess

what Antigone just did.

You fought together nobly.

Like Romans.

-It isn't over yet.

-Yes, it is.

No.

It isn't.

Ha!

Livia Drusilla.

Who taught you to ride a horse?

-He did.

-[laughs]

What?

[chuckling]

Livia Drusilla?

Piso. How are you?

The boys?

Alive.

You?

Pregnant again.

Huh!

Can I speak to you?

In the new year,

Marcus Agrippa will resign

as the second consul.

It is my husband's wish

that you take Agrippa's place

and serve Rome alongside him.

Oh, he sent you.

Well, he believes

Rome would be lucky

to have a man

of your experience.

[scoffs]

Hunted through the sewers

with a price on my head.

Condemned to death

without trial,

which is the right

of every Roman citizen.

You were pardoned.

Anyone would be lucky

to have my experience.

You know the system

of two consuls

was devised

to provide a balance.

My husband knows your political

views, and he respects them.

The offer's genuine.

But his mandate from the Senate

ran out years ago.

What, is he going

to give back that power?

Hand over control of the army?

-He

-Oh, don't bother.

-Piso.

-You married a thief, Livia.

And I won't stand next to him

to make fools believe he isn't.

Nobody can hold on to power

legitimately

unless the Senate of Rome

chooses to grant it!

Think of your sons, Piso.

How it would help

their prospects.

Is that a bribe

or a threat?

I embraced your father

after Philippi.

With his last words

he asked me to look after you.

But you betrayed him

and everything he stood for.

You married the man

who destroyed him

and everything

he believed in.

For the first time, truly

I'm glad my friend is dead.

I betrayed him.

You let him die.

Did you take your life with his?

No. You came crawling back

to hide out here.

I begged my husband

for your life!

On my f*cking knees!

And you took that pardon

and you saved yourself.

He should've come home.

He put his honor before me.

He left me on my own.

[Sheep bleating]

Thank you for your support.

[panting]

[panting intensifies]

What's wrong?

Nothing. Just

Just get rid of her.

Domina.

You're not normally

so timid with her.

I hate it when you watch.

I wasn't watching.

Why did you k*ll the terrapin?

I don't know.

I just did it.

-I suppose Julia blabbed.

-Listen to me.

You are Marcus Claudius

Marcellus.

Your uncle is the most

powerful man in Rome,

and you are his favorite.

You can't just do things.

I'll try to make this go away,

but

if it comes to it, you'll

have to stand up straight,

speak the truth

and tell everyone it was Iullus.

Iullus?

But that's not the truth.

Iullus is not our blood.

He's the son

of Marcus Antonius,

and if Octavia hadn't

adopted him, he'd be dead.

He's expendable.

You are not.

Do you understand?

You have a brilliant future,

Marcellus.

Don't mess it all up.

Not for Tiberius or anyone else.

Iullus will understand.

Mm?

Okay?

The Lady Octavia is here.

I'm sorry to have

to bring this to you.

This morning,

my son Marcellus,

he offered to help Tiberius

look for his missing terrapin.

Both your sons assaulted him.

Your freedwoman Antigone,

she then stuck him,

without provocation,

on the face,

and she scratched his eye.

I'll I'll talk to her,

of course.

No, no, no, Livia.

I don't want you to talk to her.

This behavior cannot be borne

from a freewoman with her

past.

She must be sent away.

Well, this account as presented

to me is clearly false.

I'm sorry. Are you saying

that my son is lying?

You always look

for the best in others,

and Marcellus has nothing of

your intelligence or character.

You spoil him, but you

don't seem to know him at all.

Well, maybe if you hadn't

neglected your son,

he would've turned out normal

and not an embarrassment

to our family!

A family such as yours

is surely beneath embarrassment.

Oh, you, you.

You who seduced another woman's

husband while you were pregnant.

You're no better than an actress

for all your heirs and graces.

There is much

in what you say, Octavia.

But while I live

Antigone will never be sent away

from this house.

Good night.

You were right.

I should've stopped them

bullying Tiberius.

Octavia won't help us now.

No.

One of our friends

left the signal tonight.

The German.

Let me know

what she has for us.

And what about Tiberius?

Get Tycho to put some ash

from the ovens in a box.

[Livia] Tiberius?

Little Bear, Romulus is dead.

Tycho found him in the kitchen.

He must've eaten something bad.

We didn't want to upset you.

I'm so sorry.

Here.

We cremated him like a Roman.

[Gaius] Go to your lessons.

Sorry.

-You offended my sister.

-She offended me.

And Piso?

-You're losing your touch.

-What?

I told you to fix this

with the Senate two years ago!

-I would've looked weak!

-How do you look now?

We need to do something.

Something they're not expecting.

Like what?

How would I know?

I've lost my touch.

I'm not in the mood

for this, Livia.

Ask me nicely.

[exhales, scoffs]

What?

Very nicely.

[Gaius] Piso's sheep

have given Livia an idea.

Piso refused

as I said he would.

He also said nobody could ever

hold power legally.

Unless the Senate

chose to grant it.

-So?

-So

let's get them to do that.

Let's get them

to give it to you.

Legally.

And why would

the Senate do that exactly?

Because enough of them

are sheep.

How are you, Fortunata?

I'm a sl*ve, Lady.

How are you?

At your age,

I was sold

into a whorehouse.

We look after all our friends.

[Agrippa] I can't believe

you're even considering this.

It's a totally insane risk!

So is defying the Senate.

This at least has the appearance

of legitimacy

If it works.

which makes him different

from Caesar

If it f*cking works!

Who was stabbed to death

outside the Senate.

You want to gamble everything

on a hunch about Piso's sheep?

[wheezing laugh]

It's just too clever!

Why are we even

listening to

[Livia] A woman?

[Agrippa scoffs]

The day before the battle

at Actium,

we found out

he was planning

to make a run for it

with Cleopatra.

I said, let them go,

then their fleet

will surrender,

and we'll win

without fighting.

But you said

Bollocks to that.

Let's end this now.

Once and for all.

One throw of the dice.

All or nothing.

You really want to gamble

everything on this?

We're loading the dice.

I mean, why would Livia

say such things?

And Antigone. I mean, what's

got into her? Of all people.

Oh, Livia's just ambitious

for her sons.

What Roman mother isn't?

I know for a fact she wants

Julia to marry Tiberius

-when the time comes.

-I should talk to her.

Not Marcellus or anyone else.

I said some

I said some terrible things,

Scribonia.

If I were you, I wouldn't

mention any of this again.

Or maybe

maybe a small gesture

to show you're bigger

than she is.

A new terrapin.

A present

from Marcellus

to his dear cousin Tiberius.

We can expect about 500

to attend the session.

The usual suspects.

This list is the men

that we can rely on.

Either they owe you or they

don't care about the Republic.

They just want stability

and some room at the trough.

-A hundred plus.

-Mm-hm.

These are the men

we cannot rely on,

uh, for all sorts

of reasons.

Plus men who owe

some allegiance

to the families

of Crassus and Corvinus.

Just under a hundred.

These men probably

will oppose you

because they want the Republic

back in some form or another.

Maybe 20.

The rest of these men

can go either way.

Our sheep.

Cheer up, Agrippa.

If it doesn't work,

you can always k*ll everyone.

[Gaius] Do we have

any kind of leverage on anyone?

What about him?

I mean, I know Taurus has

gambling debts. We can get him.

You asked to see me?

[clears throat]

Um, we're really sorry,

Aunt Livia.

It It was Iullus

that k*lled the terrapin,

and we got Tiberius another one,

just the same.

It wasn't Iullus.

It was me.

And I'm not sorry at all.

Well, can I go now?

Poor Tiberius.

You should've left him to die

on that mountainside.

I'm really sorry.

Apartment block on fire.

Look.

Not one of mine.

Did it occur to you, Agrippa,

if this goes wrong tomorrow,

we'll have the f*cking Republic

back by dinner?

I sometimes wonder how much

that would bother Livia.

Well, it's a bit late

to question her loyalty.

I'd never forgive her.

[Horse neighing]

[mumbling indistinctly]

ungrateful f*ck!

Never before has Rome

Cheer up, Gaius. If it doesn't

work, you can always divorce me.

[Agrippa]

Do you remember that time

we stood outside

the f*cking tent

thinking we were going

to get k*lled inside?

Of course,

I might be wrong about this.

The augur pronounces

the flight of the birds

favorable to the business

of this house.

Senate is now in session.

[Gaius] Conscript Fathers.

-Here we go.

-[Gaius] I call on the gods

I can't wait to see

how he gets out of this.

[Maecenas] The dice are rolling.

If it works, you may have just

saved Rome from herself.

I'll settle for saving Gaius.

I have done what had to be done.

I have avenged my father,

Julius Caesar,

and acted to save the state

in time of w*r.

Now Rome is at peace!

The law courts are open.

The treasury is full.

Our seas are clear of pirates!

Temples have been rebuilt.

Roads and aqueducts repaired.

Our borders are secure.

-Our enemies are crushed!

-[Men] Hear! Hear!

Never before

has Rome enjoyed such honor

or faced so great a future.

[murmurs of agreement]

And that is why

I am resigning all powers

and returning absolute control

of the city, the provinces

and the army

to the Senate.

And the people of Rome!

What the f*ck's he doing?

[Agrippa] Crassus.

On behalf of the Senate

and the people of Rome,

we thank you for all your

victories and achievements.

[murmurs of agreement]

And we thank you also

for this

magnanimous

and generous gesture.

[Agrippa] Libo.

[Libo] For 20 years,

the terrible civil wars that

tore us apart are finally over.

Trade is returning slowly,

but confidence it's

It's fragile.

And so too is

this hard-won peace,

and we should not likely

throw that away.

Rome needs stability.

-Rome needs

-[Man] It's true.

Rome needs certainty.

Now, there will be a time

when it is right

for you to step down,

but that time has not yet come.

On behalf of the Senate

and the people of Rome,

I beg you to reconsider.

I beg you to stay.

[Agrippa] Asprenas.

I don't think

I have ever knowingly agreed

with my fellow senator

[laughter]

but for once

I think he may be right.

Our troops are still fighting

in Gaul, Spain, Germany,

and Macedonia.

The Senate must consider what

our enemies in the provinces

and the tribes massing

on our frontiers will think

when they see the man

who has led Rome for so long

suddenly giving up.

What they will see

is weariness and weakness.

[Agrippa] Sabrinus.

Then let the Senate act

and show their power.

Let the Senate vote

to give back to the consul

command of those provinces where

danger still threatens Rome!

Where all the legions

are stationed.

-Oh, he's f*cking us!

-If the Senate is to consider

that proposition,

it must have a strict time limit

to be renewed or not

as the Senate sees fit.

[chanting]

Stay, stay, stay, stay,

stay, stay, stay

[chanting continues]

Stay, Stay, stay

[chanting continues]

[Maecenas] You did it, Livia.

Stay, stay, stay, stay, stay,

stay, stay, stay, stay

[Livia] Agrippa's right.

He'll make a great dictator.

Stay, stay, stay

[Agrippa] I call for a vote.

[chanting continues]

So I found a way.

Gaius has to become a god.

But the god will have a son.

And I will teach him

what needs to be done.

Oh, we have time.

We can wait.

But to restore the Republic,

we first have to destroy it.

I need you to understand.

And forgive me.

[breathing heavily]

[Water flowing]

[breathing heavily]

Great and powerful Proserpina,

with these humble gifts,

I gratefully

fulfill our contract.

Hey.

We won.

It was a boy.

We'll have other boys.
