Dathan:
There are those who would pay much for what my eyes have seen.
Rameses:
Do you haggle with me like a seller of melons in the marketplace?
Dathan:
No, I will not haggle, Great Prince; here's your money. But for ten talents of fine gold, I'll give you the wealth of Egypt. Give me my freedom, and I'll give you the scepter. Give me the water girl Lilia, and I'll give you the princess of your heart's desire. Give me this house of Baka, and I'll give you the throne. Give me all that I ask... or give me leave to go.
Rameses:
[draws his sword]
I will give you more than leave to go; I will send you where you belong.
Dathan:
I belong in your service, Glorious One.
Rameses:
Very well, I will bargain with you. If what you say pleases me, I will give you your price, all of it; if not, I will give you the point of this blade through your lying throat, agreed?
Dathan:
Agreed; the deliverer... is Moses.
Rameses:
Draw one more breath to tell me why Moses or any other Egyptian would deliver the Hebrews?
Dathan:
Moses is not Egyptian; he's Hebrew, the son of slaves.
Rameses:
I will pay your price.
