Newland, you couldn't be happy if it meant being cruel. If we act any other way, I'll be making you act against what I love in you most. And I can't go back to that way of thinking. Don't you see! I can't love you unless I give you up.

Young Moses: Well, that went well.
Young Rameses: Just go away.
Young Moses: Could've been worse.
Young Rameses: The weak link in the chain. That's what he called me.
Young Moses: Well, you are rather pathetic.
Young Rameses: Irresponsible, ignorant of the traditions. He practically accused me of bringing down the dynasty!
Young Moses: Yeah, I can see it now. There go the pyramids! [laughs]
Young Rameses: [leaps down] You can laugh about it.
Young Moses: Statues cracking and toppling over, the Nile drying up; single-handedly, you will manage to bring the greatest kingdom on Earth to ruin.
Young Rameses: Tell me this, Moses, tell me this: why is it that every time you start something, I'm the one who ends up in trouble?
[Moses drops a sack full of wine onto Hotep and Huy]
Hotep: Oh! Man! [spits out punch]
Huy: Oh!
Hotep: Ah! Rameses, you're in trouble, young man!
Huy: Rameses, get down here! I think you owe us an apology!
Hotep: Oh, my new thing!
Huy: I am so upset!
Young Moses: [hands Rameses a bowl of wine] You might as well.
Hotep: You'll pay for this!
Huy: We're going to tell the Pharaoh!
[Rameses dumps all the wine on Hotep and Huy]
Hotep: Oh, look at me! I'm drenched again!
Young Moses: Hey, I figured it out. You know what your problem is, Rameses?
Young Rameses: What?
Young Moses: You care too much.
Young Rameses: And your problem is that you don't care at all.
Young Moses: Well, in that case, I supposed that you care a lot more than I do that we're...late for the banquet, for example.
[Rameses's face suddenly lights up in alarm as we cut to Rameses and Moses rushing to the banquet]
Young Rameses: I'm done for! Father will kill me!
Young Moses: Don't worry, nobody will even notice us comin' in. [They enter, but the entire crowd sees them and cheers loudly]
Young Rameses: "Nobody will even notice?"
[Moses laughs nervously]
Tuya: [approaches them] Ah, the young princes! [hugs her sons, then sides to her real son] Rameses, you were just named Prince Regent. You are now responsible for overseeing all the temples. I suggest you get over there and thank your father. [Rameses walks off] Apparently, Moses...someone thought he "just needed the opportunity".
Young Moses: [approaches Rameses and Seti] My lord, Pharaoh! I propose that the high priests offer tribute to their new Regent!
Seti: An excellent idea! Hotep! Huy!
[The priests drop the goblets]
Hotep: [Whispers] Huy?
Huy: What?
Hotep: The Midian girl...
Huy: [chuckles] Oh! Good idea!
Hotep: Go get her. [Huy runs off. He addresses the guests and performs a magic spell] By the power of Ra! We present for your delectation and delight, an exotic apparition stolen from faraway lands. [a large box-like construction rises from the floor, revealing an attractive young woman named Tzipporah, riding a camel. Huy restrains her by her hands with a rope. Moses and Rameses are enthralled] We offer you this...delicate desert flower.
[Hotep yanks the rope, and Tzipporah is dragged off her camel, screaming. The crowd shouted in wild excitement. She fights against her restraints]
Young Rameses: Let us inspect this "desert flower"... [Tzipporah tries to bites, his hand missed] Ehhg! More like a desert cobra.
Young Moses: Not much of a snake-charmer, are you?
Young Rameses: [pushes Moses to her] That's why I give her to you.
Young Moses: [tries to back away from Tzipporah] No, no, no. That's generous, but-
Tzipporah: [to Moses] I won't be given to anyone, especially an arrogant, pampered palace brat!
Young Rameses: [chuckles] Are you gonna let her talk to you like that? [Tzipporah groans trying to the ropes off her wrists while Moses gets Rameses off of him]
Young Moses: [points at Tzipporah] You will show the proper respect for a prince of Egypt.
Tzipporah: But I am showing you all the respect you deserve. [pulls rope away from Hotep and Huy] None!
Young Moses: No, wait! Be still! [grabs the rope]
Tzipporah: I demand you set me free!
Young Moses: Be still!
Tzipporah: Let go!
Young Moses: [noticed the pond] As you wish. [lets go of the rope, causing Tzipporah to scream and fall backwards into the pond]
[The crowd laughs. Moses joins in, but sees the queen looking on in disgust, and stops]
Young Rameses: [approaches, laughing; to the servants who lead Tzipporah out of the pond] You there! Have her dried off, and sent to Prince Moses's chambers. [to Seti] If it pleases you, Father, my first act of Regent is to appoint Moses [places the blue ring on Moses' finger] as Royal Chief Architect!
[The crowd cheers. Moses smiles, then stares back at Tzipporah, who looks back at him in disgust, as she is led away]
Young Rameses: Just go away.
Young Moses: Could've been worse.
Young Rameses: The weak link in the chain. That's what he called me.

Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania (2023) as Janet van Dyne
View Quote
I blew up his core — cut him off from time — and trapped us both down here forever. But I gave him back enough. Now that he had his suit back, he became what he always was — a conqueror. He's got weapons and technology centuries beyond anything we can dream of. He took his prison, and made it his empire. I spent years fighting him, running from him, hiding from him — and then you saved me. You brought me home. But I didn't deserve it — I unleashed a monster on this place — and ran away.

Kang: We didn't really get a chance to talk about it last time, but I always wondered, when you touched my mind, what did you see?
Janet: A monster. Who thinks he's a god.
Kang: When you can see time the way I do, you don't get to close your eyes.
Janet: And you're the only one who sees?
Kang: I am the only one that can see it's broken.
Janet: And who broke it?
Kang: I did. Every version of me. My variants. Throughout the Multiverse. Playing with time, like children. But I saw how it ends. I saw their chaos spreading across realities. Universes colliding. Endless incursions. I saw the Multiverse. And it was dying. All because of them. So, I took control.
Janet: You mean you started a war. And now you wanna wipe away any universe that's a threat to you. That's what monsters do.
Kang: That's what conquerors do! They burn the broken world. And they make a new one.
Janet: You don't care about saving anything or anyone. You only want revenge because they beat you. Because you lost.
Kang: I have lost. You have no idea what I have lost. And I will burn them out of time for what they've done to me.
Janet: You'd be wiping out entire timelines, murdering trillions of people.
Kang: I wish that mattered, Janet.
Janet: A monster. Who thinks he's a god.
