- Pharaoh: The answer is obvious. Then can be no better man for this job then this man himself.
- [gestures to Joseph]
- Pharaoh: Can we find anyone endowed with a spirit of God as he is?
- Pharaoh's Wife: I think not.
- Pharaoh: Well said wife.
- Potiphar's Wife: [after Joseph is spared execution] You sent him to prison? At your pleasure? What about my honor?
- Potiphar: What honor?
- Potiphar's Wife: How dare you!
- Potiphar: I know you, wife. I know you.
- Potiphar's Wife: You don't understand. Whatever you may think of me... how could you? How could you humiliate me like that?
- Potiphar: Because one humiliation deserves another. Wife, anyone who knows Joseph also knows that if he swears by his God then he's telling the truth.
- Potiphar: You had better prostrate quickly.
- Joseph: You know I cannot.
- Pharaoh: [furious] You what?
- Joseph: Clearly the Pharaoh is greatness itself but my faith decrees that I can only kneel before God - even on pain of death.
- Pharaoh: [laughs] Come forward. Take heed, magicians. Whatever happens, I know this man won't lie to me.
- Joseph: What is your name?
- Benjamin: I am called Benjamin, master. How is it that the master comes to speak our tongue? Has you traveled to our lands?
- Joseph: [recoils] God be gracious to you, my son.
- [Joseph leaves and cries to himself]
- Benjamin: Was I wrong to ask the master how he came to speak our tongue?
- Ednan: The master has traveled far and wide. He knows a great deal.
- Joseph: I don't think my father's wealth brings him much joy.
- Potiphar's Wife: Then what would?
- Joseph: I would imagine... if he could see me again.
- Potiphar's Wife: You know your freedom is within my gift.
- Potiphar: I'd be careful if I were you. You worship as you like in Canaan but in Egypt only Pharaoh, son of Ra, is god.
- Potiphar's Wife: What is more important to you? His God or my good name?
- Potiphar: The truth?
- Potiphar's Wife: The truth.
- Potiphar: Yes, that's what matters.
- Pharaoh's Wife: [whispers] He is a beautiful boy.
- Asenath: Yes, he is.
- Pharaoh's Wife: Do you know what his crime was?
- Asenath: I've heard the rumors but I don't believe them. He doesn't strike me as a fool. And everyone knows that Potiphar's wife deceives him.
- Joseph: Your husband has entrusted me with everything in his house. The only thing I cannot touch is you!
- [pushes himself away]
- Joseph: How could I betray your husband and sin against God?
- Potiphar's Wife: The time will come.
- Pharaoh's Wife: Asaneth on the other hand...
- Pharaoh: Yes, let me guess. She's so taken with this foreign slave. Oh yes, nothing escape's Pharaoh's eye when it comes to a woman.
- [Paces and looks at Asaneth]
- Pharaoh: She thinks he has the answer.
- Asenath: By your own word lord, we know he does nothing against his conscience - even on pain of death. And you yourself seemed reluctant to have him hanged. There must have been a reason why you withheld your mighty hand and spared him to see another day.
- Pharaoh: [places his ring on Joseph's finger] I make you the governor of all Egypt. I place you over my house, my people, my kingdom. From this day forward no man shall life a hand or foot without your consent. Your name shall be "Zapaneth Paneah".
- [beckons to Asaneth]
- Pharaoh: And this fine woman shall be your wife.
- Judah: You're a very courageous girl, Tamar.
- Tamar: But not brave enough to face death.
- Judah: That won't happen. I have enough to answer for. The crime of taking your life for something I have done is more than I can bear.
- [embraces her]
- Judah: You were right and I was wrong. I should have given you to Selah. The only sin there is belongs to me.
- Judah: You will live to have your child and raise him as a mother should. Living in your own tent with respect and love.
- [kisses Tamar]
- Merchant: He's submissive, he's obedient, and he knows his place! Never opens his mouth except to pray.
- Potiphar: Is that true, boy?
- Merchant: Answer the master!
- [Joseph nods]
