View Quote Rameses: The weak link in the chain. That's what he called me.

Rameses: You can laugh about it.
Moses: Statues crumbling and toppling, the Nile drying up, you will singlehandedly bring the greatest kingdom on Earth to ruins!

View Quote Moses: I figured it out, you know what your problem is, Rameses, you care too much.
Rameses: And your problem is that you don't care at all.
Moses: Well, in that case, I supposed that you do care more than I do that we're... late for the banquet, for example.

Sister: That's why papa says she'll never get married.
View Quote Hotep: So you think you've got friends in high places, with the power to put us on the run. [he vanishes]
Huy: Well, forgive us these smiles on our faces. You'll know what power is when we are done, son...
View Quote Aaron: So, Moses, how does it feel when you get struck to the ground?
Moses: I didn't need to cause you more pain. I'm just trying to do as God told me.

View Quote Moses: [singing] Once I called you brother. Once I fought the chance to make you laugh. It's all I ever wanted. And even now, I wished that God had chose another, serving as your foe on his behalf. It's the last thing that I wanted. This was my home. All this pain and devastation, how it tortures me inside. All the innocent who suffer from your stubbornness and pride. You who I called brother. Why must you call down another blow?
Chorus: [singing] I send my scourge, I sent my sword.
Moses: [singing] Let my people go.
Chorus: [singing] Thus saith the Lord.
Moses, Chorus: [singing] Thus saint the Lord.
Rameses: [singing] You who I called brother. How could you have come to hate me so? I this what you wanted?
Chorus: [singing] I send the swarm, I send the hoard.
Rameses: [singing] Then let my heart be hardened, and never mind how high the cost may grow. This may still be so: I will never let your people go.
View Quote Moses: Rameses?
Rameses: Let me guess. You want me to... let your people go.
Moses: I... hoped I might find you here.
Rameses: Get out! [throws a bowl at him]
Moses: Ramses, we must bring this to an end. [pause] Come on, talk to me. We could always talk here. [pause] This place... so many memories... I remember the time you... [chuckles] switched the heads of the gods in the Temple of Ra.
Rameses: If I recall correctly, you were there switching heads right along with me.
Moses: No, that was you, I didn't do that.
Rameses: Yes you did. You put the hippo on the crocodile and the crocodile...
Moses: [remembers] ...on the falcon.
Rameses: Yes! And the priests thought it was a horrible omen and fasted for two months! Father was furious! You were always getting me into trouble! [pauses and smiles] But then... you were always there to get me... out of trouble again. Why can't things be the way they were before?
