- The Trojans had long memories of the time when the Greeks, led by Sparta, had pillaged and burned the city of their fathers.

- They had prepared strong defenses against the possibility of future assault.

- That is why new Troy, their rebuilt city, was guarded by mighty walls, an impregnable shelter for a happy people in love with beauty.

- And so we've locked out the understanding of nations and we've locked in the poison.

- Trojans jumping at every rumor, pointing fingers at each other.

- I tell you there's only one solution.
