Horemheb
- 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 for me, your ankles and your neck.
- Baketamon: Save your passions for the Babylonian. She'll appreciate them more than I do.
