Tzipporah : [Moses has fallen into Jethro's Well] What are you girls doing?
Tzipporah's sister : We're trying to get the funny man out of the well!
Tzipporah : Trying to get the funny man out of the well. Well, that's one I've never heard before.
[She looks down the well]
Tzipporah : Oh! Oh, my! Don't worry down there! We'll get you out! Hold on!
[She sees it is Moses]
Tzipporah : You!

Aaron : So, Moses, how does it feel when *you* get struck to the ground?
Moses : I... didn't mean to cause you more pain. I'm just trying to do what God told me.
Aaron : God? When did God start caring about any of us?
[shouts]
Aaron : In fact, Moses, when did *you* start caring about slaves? Was it when you found out that you were one of us?
Tzipporah : Don't listen to him.
Moses : No, he's right. I did not see because I did not *wish* to see.
Aaron : Oh, you didn't see because you didn't...
[shouts]
Aaron : wish to see! Ah! Well that makes everything fine then, doesn't it?

Tzipporah : I won't be given to anyone, especially an arrogant, pampered, palace *brat*!
Rameses : [laughs, to Moses] Are you going to let her talk to you like that?
Moses : [Scoffs] You will show the proper respect for a prince of Egypt.
Tzipporah : But I *am* showing you all the respect you deserve: None!

Moses : Be still!
Tzipporah : Let go!
Moses : [Notices pond behind Tzipporah, smiles] As you wish.
[Abruptly lets go]
