Hegai:
A plain white gown. Such simplicity! Was it your choice?
Esther:
Yes.
Hegai:
Indeed. One might think you have no desire to win a queen's crown. A most becoming modesty. It pleases me. An unassuming virtue that needs rewarding.
[to the servants]
Hegai:
Fetch me the cloak of gold!
[to the maidens]
Hegai:
You may rest, my little doves.
[Hegai brings the golden cloak]
Esther:
I am grateful, but I don't wish to be so favored.
Keresh:
I will accept it.
Esther:
Oh, yes. Yes, give it to her.
Hegai:
[to Keresh]
Speak only when you're spoken to!
Keresh:
Take care, eunuch! I have mighty friends.
Hegai:
In the brothels of the street of the soldiers, no doubt!
[to Esther]
Hegai:
Here, my child. I ask you to wear it. Please.
[wraps the cloak around Esther]
