Nefretiri:
[Nefretiri is sorting through various veils and scarves]
This is for the temple ceremony... this is for my wedding night! Memnet:
You will never wear it. Nefretiri:
[surprised]
Why not? Memnet:
I have brought you a cloth more revealing... send them away. Nefretiri:
[nodding to her servants]
Go then, while I hear what this puckered old persimmon has to say. Memnet:
For thirty years, I have been silent. Now, all the kings of Egypt, cry out to me, from their tombs, "Let no Hebrew sit upon our throne." Nefretiri:
What are you saying? Memnet:
Rameses has the blood of many kings. Nefretiri:
And Moses? Memnet:
He is lower than the dust. Not one drop of royal blood flows through his veins. He is the son of Hebrew slaves. Nefretiri:
I'll have you torn into so many pieces, even the vultures wont find them. Who hatched this lie? Rameses? Memnet:
Rameses does not know, [three seconds] Memnet:
yet. Nefretiri:
You will repeat this to Bithiah. Memnet:
Bithiah drew a slave child, from the Nile, called him son and Prince of Egypt, blinding herself to the truth and the pain of an empty womb. Nefretiri:
Were you alone, with, Bithiah? Memnet:
A little girl led me to the Hebrew woman, Yochabel, that the child might be suckled by his true mother. Nefretiri:
Take care, old frog. You croaked too much, against Moses! Memnet:
Would you mingle the blood of slaves, with your own? Nefretiri:
He will be my husband. I shall have no other. [Memnet then shows Nefretiri the Hebrew cloth, she had been kept hidden, for thirty years. Memnet got it, when she and Bithiah, were alone] Memnet:
Then, use this, to wrap your firstborn. Torn from a Levite's robe. It was Moses' swaddling cloth. Nefretiri:
And your shrowd. Do you think I care whose son he is? Memnet:
Rameses cares. Nefretiri:
You won't live to tell him. Memnet:
[Memnet's final line, as Nefretiri pushed her off the roof, in anger and killing her]
Oh, oh!

00:00:03.000 --> 00:00:07.301
Yes. This is for the temple ceremony.
00:00:08.673 --> 00:00:10.001
This...
00:00:16.018 --> 00:00:17.602
This...
00:00:20.226 --> 00:00:22.775
is for my wedding night.
00:00:23.562 --> 00:00:25.656
You will never wear it.
00:00:27.483 --> 00:00:29.326
Why not?
00:00:30.111 --> 00:00:34.912
I have brought you a cloth
more revealing. Send them away.
00:00:35.991 --> 00:00:40.417
Go, then, while I hear what this
puckered old persimmon has to say.
00:00:44.583 --> 00:00:49.589
Well? What croakings
of doom have you today?
00:00:49.755 --> 00:00:52.349
You prepare for a marriage
that will never be.
00:00:52.508 --> 00:00:54.852
You've been drinking honey wine!
00:00:56.303 --> 00:00:59.773
I shall not let the Pharaoh
and Rameses be betrayed.
00:00:59.932 --> 00:01:04.529
Why should a slave care
which Pharaoh rules?
00:01:04.687 --> 00:01:06.094
For 30 years, I have been silent.
00:01:07.999 --> 00:01:11.006
Now, all the kings of Egypt
cry out to me from their tombs,
00:01:11.193 --> 00:01:14.999
"Let no Hebrew sit upon our throne."
00:01:17.366 --> 00:01:19.999
What are you saying?
00:01:19.535 --> 00:01:22.997
Rameses has the blood of many kings.
00:01:22.999 --> 00:01:25.708
- And Moses?
- He is lower than the dust.
00:01:25.875 --> 00:01:30.381
Not one drop of royal blood
flows through his veins.
00:01:30.001 --> 00:01:33.022
He is the son of Hebrew slaves.
00:01:35.384 --> 00:01:38.854
I'll have you torn into so many pieces,
00:01:39.005 --> 00:01:41.001
even the vultures won't find them.
00:01:41.932 --> 00:01:43.809
Who hatched this lie? Rameses?
00:01:43.976 --> 00:01:46.729
Rameses does not know... yet.
00:01:49.315 --> 00:01:51.113
You will repeat this to Bithiah!
00:01:51.001 --> 00:01:53.001
It was Bithiah who drew a slave child
from the Nile,
00:01:54.003 --> 00:01:56.447
called him son and Prince of Egypt,
00:01:56.614 --> 00:01:58.001
blinding herself to the truth
00:01:58.699 --> 00:02:01.828
and the pain of an empty womb.
00:02:03.003 --> 00:02:04.705
Were you alone with Bithiah?
00:02:04.872 --> 00:02:08.999
A little girl led me
to the Hebrew woman Yochabel,
00:02:08.751 --> 00:02:12.004
that the child might
be suckled by his true mother.
00:02:13.547 --> 00:02:15.001
Take care, old frog.
00:02:16.999 --> 00:02:19.679
You croak too much against Moses.
00:02:19.845 --> 00:02:23.044
Would you mingle the blood
of slaves with your own?
00:02:23.999 --> 00:02:26.001
He will be my husband.
I shall have no other.
00:02:27.001 --> 00:02:30.774
Then use this to wrap your first-born.
00:02:30.094 --> 00:02:34.041
Torn from a Levite's robe.
00:02:34.001 --> 00:02:36.001
It was Moses' swaddling cloth.
00:02:40.999 --> 00:02:43.001
And your shroud!
00:02:45.001 --> 00:02:48.994
You think I care whose son he is?
00:02:48.249 --> 00:02:51.999
- Rameses cares.
- You won't live to tell him.
00:03:08.031 --> 00:03:10.733
Nefretiri?
00:03:11.999 --> 00:03:16.904
Nefretiri! Have you closed your doors
to make a beggar of a prince?
00:03:21.008 --> 00:03:25.001
I'm the beggar, Moses, begging you
to hold me in your arms. Kiss me.
00:03:25.995 --> 00:03:27.001
Just kiss me.
00:03:32.501 --> 00:03:34.999
You're no beggar, my love.
00:03:34.999 --> 00:03:38.999
You're a conqueror,
and I am your captive for life.
00:03:39.098 --> 00:03:43.001
One lifetime will not be half enough.
00:03:43.804 --> 00:03:46.001
You will be King of Egypt.
