Let Me Go

ALL of Shakespeare is about The Life and Mindset of The Exile - ALL of It.

Moses, Son of Rameses :

I'm told I should address you as Ramses The Great, now.

Pharaoh Rameses III, 

Son of Rameses :

Moses...

You're alive. I'm glad you're alive.

Moses, Son of Rameses :

Really? Is that why you only sent two assassins to kill me?

Pharaoh Rameses III, 

Son of Rameses :

My mother.....

Moses, Son of Rameses :

Don't blame her.

Pharaoh Rameses III, 

Son of Rameses :

She wanted you dead. 

Who do you think hid your sword where you would find it?

Moses.

Moses, Son of Rameses :

I'm not here...

To take your throne.

It's not about the prophecy that worries you so much. 

This is something else.

I have been told...

that things here have become...

Much worse.

Pharaoh Rameses III, 

Son of Rameses :

Things are better than

they ever have been, Moses.

Moses, 

Son of Rameses :

No.

Pharaoh Rameses III, 

Son of Rameses :

We have order.

Moses, 

Son of Rameses :

Order? Order?

The slaves...

their bodies burn night and day now. I've seen it with my own eyes.

You call that order?

Pharaoh Rameses III, 

Son of Rameses :

They're slaves. What would you expect?

Moses, 

Son of Rameses :

No, they're not.

They're Egyptians, they should be treated as Egyptians.

They should have the same rights.

They should be paid for their work or... you must set them free.

Pharaoh Rameses III, 

Son of Rameses :

They are not Egyptians.

They are slaves, Moses.

What else do you expect?

They wouldn't know what to do if all of a sudden they were left

to fend for themselves like animals.

Moses, 

Son of Rameses :

Do not call them animals!

Pharaoh Rameses III, 

Son of Rameses :

Listen, from an economic standpoint alone what you're asking... is problematic to say the least.

Moses, 

Son of Rameses :

I didn't expect to hear a simple ‘Yes’ - 

But I do not want to hear a simple ‘No.’

Is that what you are telling me?

Are you saying no?

I'm not saying no. 

I'm saying ‘time’.

Moses, 

Son of Rameses :

Time.

Pharaoh Rameses III, 

Son of Rameses :

You're listening to Hebrews.

Moses, 

Son of Rameses :

I'm not listening to Hebrews.

Pharaoh Rameses III, 

Son of Rameses :

Who are you talking to?

Moses, 

Son of Rameses :

God.

Pharaoh Rameses III, 

Son of Rameses :

God.

Which God?
