#they're debating whether or not to defect to sparta.

ALCIBIADES: Look at me! Tell me: do you believe in me?

ANTIOCHUS: Oh! I don't know what I believe anymore.

ALCIBIADES: You know!

ANTIOCHUS: I don't know. Leave me alone!

ALCIBIADES: I'm not leaving you alone. You must decide, right now.

ANTIOCHUS: No!

ALCIBIADES: Yes! With me or with them!

ANTIOCHUS: You're a demon, Alcibiades. I hate you.

ALCIBIADES: You're telling lies to yourself. You love me.

ANTIOCHUS: Oh gods! How can you talk like that? Where do you find this strength? Yes, when I'm looking at you, at your face like this, I feel a magnetism. But I can't drown inside me this entire world that has filled, until today, my life.

ALCIBIADES: You will decide. It's imperative! I told you everything. I showed you my thought, like I've never even showed it to Socrates.

ANTIOCHUS: To Socrates... Did you think how Socrates will judge you? (Silence) I'm asking you if you've thought of Socrates.

ALCIBIADES: We split up, Socrates and I.

#this is so dramatic #they're debating whether or not to defect to sparta. #unfortunately they do not make out passionately after this #not on stage at least #the scene ends right after this so #WHAT EO YOU MEAN YOU SPLIT UP WITH SOCRATES #i know what he means there's an earlier scene where Socrates comes to talk to him and Alcibiades doesn't even turn to look at him #but senses him when he enters the room
