King Ahasuerus:
Do you realize, Esther, that you could be put to death for speaking out in this chamber?
Esther:
Yes! And I don't ask you to hold out your scepter to me because I shall die anyway!
[pauses]
Esther:
I am a Jew.
King Ahasuerus:
Esther. Esther, renounce your faith... and live.
Esther:
I speak for myself and for my uncle Mordecai and for all my people. We'll still be keeping our faith when Shushan is a mound of desert sand and your gods are forgotten. But I can't hate you for this decision, Ahasuerus, because I know that again you were influenced by Haman.
