One Night with the King quotes
-
Queen Esther: [surprised by Hagai] You have a very bad habit.
Hagai: The palace is no place for children.
Queen Esther: You think of me as a child? Well, you are wrong. I am much younger than that!
[lauging and dancing around]
Hagai: How do they call you?
Queen Esther: [stopping] Esther.
Hagai: Curious name. From where you come?
Queen Esther: [dancing around] I'm of the wind, whose sound is heard. Yet none know from whence it comes or where it goes.
Hagai: Well, we gather with in the hour. Try not to blow away before then.
[leaves Esther laughing and dancing]

Prince Memucan: [very anxious] Think not I heard your whispered orchestrations that night and how you drew even me into your schemes!
Prince Admantha: [snapping] In these troubled time, it is easy to name any man traitor! I even recall a certain campaign in Ionia, under King Darius; where someone allowed the defeated Greeks to keep their own form of government. Their democracy, instead of placing the protocal of the empire in control; favoring democracy. They doctrine to which all Persia is opposed.
Prince Memucan: [indignant, turning to leave] I followed orders!
Prince Admantha: [stopping him, chuckling a little] Come.Come.Come.Come. We trouble ourselves with foolish things. The King asked me to speak, I did. I obeyed as you did.
