Enemy and Respect

In Troy (2004), the conversation below happens after Achilles kills Hector and dishonors the body by dragging it to Greeks' army camp. On the night after the incident, Priam goes to Achilles' tent and asks his son's body back. He gives a good lesson for facing the fierce competitions in this capitalistic world:

Achilles:
If I let you walk out of here...
...if I let you take him...
...it doesn't change anything.

You're still my enemy in the morning.

Priam:

You're still my enemy tonight.
But even enemies can show respect.
