One Night with the King quotes
-
Jesse: [finding Esther by the garden pool] They tell you're called Esther now.
Queen Esther: [turning around and hugging him] Oh Jesse.
Jesse: [correcting] Hatack.
Queen Esther: Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego were pagan names too. We're in good company.
Jesse: [very stricken] The names were Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah. They were thrown into the furnace.
Queen Esther: [laughing] But than what happened?
Jesse: Come on. I've found a way out and there's a caravan leaving for Jerusalem tonight... So we can get out of here.
Queen Esther: Escape?... Jesse, I... I can't leave... What if... What if I am chosen?
Jesse: What if you're chosen what? What if you are chosen Queen? Look what they's done to us? What good could come of any of this?
Queen Esther: Perhaps, instead of asking questions of our trials, our trials are ment to ask questions of ourselves.
Jesse: They cut me!... I know we can't be what I hope, but...
Queen Esther: [as he leaves] Jesse... I can't leave. I'm sorry. Sorry.

Hagai: [to Esther, as the other chose from the royal jewels] You stand not impressed?
Queen Esther: [shyly] Matters not what impresses me. How is one to choose when they know not what impresses the King. Will you teach me?
Hagai: I will do far more than that. Come.
[open the box on the table and gives her the necklace]
Hagai: A recent acquisition, one I believe the King will find most pleasing.
