The Weight of History

ROHM-DUTT: 

(sotto) Varlik? Help me. 

VARLIK: You're A Traitor. 

ROHM-DUTT: (sotto) 

Now listen, now listen, Varlik. 

We're Good Friends, you and I, huh? 

Now, I've got a lot of Money 

back on Delta Magna. 

A lot of Money, and I —

VARLIK: It's Your Greed 

that's brought You to this, 

Rohm-Dutt. You betrayed 

The People of The Lakes.

You brought us weapons that 

were old and rotten. 

ROHM-DUTT: No, I Told You, 

they had to be cleaned. 

VARLIK: We examined them. 

The barrels are bent, the metal

corroded. You thought you'd 

be safely away from here 

before we tried to use them. 

ROHM-DUTT: 

No, it's not True, Varlik. 

I bought them in Good Faith. 

Now, let me 

explain to Ranquin —

VARLIK: 

There's nothing to explain. 

We heard you call out to 

The Leader of The Dryfoots. 

Do You Think We're fools? 

ROHM-DUTT: I was confused! 

I mean, the sight of Kroll —

VARLIK: It was A Plot! 

You bought us rotten weapons 

so that We'd enter into 

A Battle we couldn't win. 

Oh no, You cheated Us, 

Rohm-Dutt, just as 

The Dryfoots have always 

cheated Our People. 

Tom : You see? 

The Weight of History's against You. 

ROHM-DUTT: 

What do you know of it? 

Tom : I know a rogue 

when I see a rogue, and 

I've no desire to die in 

the company of a rogue, have you? 

Have you any desire to die 

in the company of a rogue? 

M’Lady : 

I'd rather not die at all. 

Tom : I know that feeling.
