The Egyptian

The Egyptian

Baketamon: I wish a word with you. Over here.
Horemheb: May I say I've long dreamed of a word with you.
Baketamon: We will discuss your dreams. I wish to speak with your friend, the physician.
Horemheb: Why are you so interested in him?
Baketamon: My brother's been asking for him. He hasn't yet presented himself at court.
Horemheb: Sinuhe has left the city. He's gone to... Memphis I think.
Baketamon: If you hope for further promotions don't lie to me.
Horemheb: I love my friend enough to lie for him, even to a royal princess. What do you want?
Baketamon: I want him saved from this creature who's stolen his wits.
Horemheb: That's easy, she's a Babylonian, have her banished or killed.
Baketamon: He'd follow her into exile or mourn over her grave the rest of his life. No. He must be made to see that she's worthless.
Horemheb: And how to you expect to accomplish that?
Baketamon: By letting him find out that she's betrayed him with his best friend. You shouldn't find that too difficult. Such women like to be assaulted as if they were fortresses.
Horemheb: Your Highness flatters me.
Baketamon: I value you in the same way that you value yourself.
[He sees a gold serpent bracelet coiled around her lower arm]
Horemheb: Give me that bracelet.
Baketamon: You want a reward for helping the friend you love so much?
Horemheb: I want it for the Babylonian.
Baketamon: Oh? Then you're afraid that your manly charms won't be enough?
Horemheb: Not for her.
[he notices his friends looking their way]
Horemheb: My friends are watching us. They think you're awarding me an honor.
Baketamon: Let them think what they will.
Horemheb: Some day you'll strip your arms of honors
