Haman
- King Ahasuerus: Now I will stem the ambitions of that young Macedonian upstart. What's his name?
- Haman: Alexander.
- King Ahasuerus: That's it.
- Klydrathes: [referring to Keresh] A bride of the King must be a maiden. I never heard of one who has been a concubine.
- Haman: But you will, Klydrathes. You will.
- [looks at Keresh]
- Haman: This will be history. For if the perfume of a rose is pleasing, nobody's going to ask who crushed the petals.
- Klydrathes: Your only love is danger, Haman, and you court it with a passion of a madman.
- Haman: The army is not even in sight yet. Time is still with us.
- Queen Vashti: No, Haman. Your time has ended.
- Haman: Huh! My time?
- Queen Vashti: Our time, if that saves your pride.
- Esther: How dare you come into my room!
- Haman: Ugh! What a rude greeting for the chief minister! I am here officially, my dear, to bring the King's word that he will visit you in the tenth hour. But, uh, there is still time for us to know one another.
- Esther: You must be mad! This can destroy you.
- Haman: And Ahasuerus also, if you force me to tell him that you often invite me to share your lonely evening hours.
- Esther: Your such a liar he'd never believe you!
- Haman: You're no match for me in this game, Esther. Mine is a life of hazards, so please do not aggravate me. Our King is happy with his faith in you. Let us keep him so.
- Esther: Well, then get out. Get out of here or I'll call the guards!
- [Esther heads toward the gong but is detained by Haman]
- Haman: You won't. Because I would tell Ahasuerus that it was his loyal Haman who summoned the witnesses. No, we must be reasonable, my dear. We must face the facts that we require each other - you and I.
- [Esther runs to the gong and is about to strike it but Haman grabs her hand]
- Haman: You would... you would plunge us all into destruction.
- Esther: Not the King, if I can help it! But you, Haman! I'll find a way to destroy you!
