:00:01
commander
of the Egyptian host...

:00:06
a man of mud!
:00:09
Is that what you want,
:00:11
to be a slave?
:00:12
Then why aren't you kneeling
at the feet of a princess?

:00:17
I am afraid the mud pits
:00:19
have stiffened
my knees, Royal One.

:00:23
Shall I call back
the guards?

:00:26
Do you think they
could bend them?

:00:28
Oh, Moses, Moses,
:00:30
you stubborn,
splendid, adorable fool.

:00:37
Ah!
:00:40
I'm not kneeling
to a princess.

:00:44
No.
:00:45
You're kneeling
to a woman

:00:47
who's been worried about you
:00:49
day and night
since you disappeared.

:00:51
What is there in the mud
of these slave pits

:00:53
that could keep you
from my arms?

:00:56
My people.
:00:57
They may be your people,
:00:58
but do you have to
wallow with them,

:01:02
smell like them?
:01:03
If they are stained, it's
with the mud of slavery,

:01:06
and if they reek, it's with
the stench of injustice.

:01:11
If you want to
help your people,

:01:13
come back to the palace.
:01:15
And hide the truth
from Sethi...

:01:17
that I am Hebrew and a slave?
:01:20
The truth would break
his dear old heart

:01:23
and send Bithiah
into exile or death.

:01:26
Think of us and stop hearing
the cries of your people.

:01:29
Their god does not hear
their cry.

:01:32
Will Rameses hear it
if he is Pharaoh?

:01:36
No. He would grind them
into the clay they mold,

:01:41
double their labors.
:01:44
What about me?
:01:45
Think of me as his wife.
:01:50
Do you want to see me
in Rameses' arms?

:01:54
No!
:01:55
Then come back with me.
:01:58
Oh, Moses,
