Exodus: Gods and Kings Quotes

Hegep: Do you know what the problem is? People live too long these days. Every year the death rate lags further behind the birth rate. And these people, they reproduce like it's a sport.
Moses: This is the problem? A growing work force?

Moses: I'm tired of talking with a messenger!
Malak: General! I

Moses: [In unison] I, Moses, accept you Zipporah,
Zipporah: [In unison] I, Zipporah, accept you Moses,
Moses, Zipporah: [In unison] ... to be no other than yourself. Loving what I know of you, trusting what I do not yet know, with respect for your integrity and faith in your abiding love for me. In all that life

may bring us, I pledge my love.
