Esther and the King (1960)

Rik Battaglia: Simon

Quotes 

• Mordecai : [gives Simon food]  Provisions. I will see that you are kept supplied until the men of Klydrathes abandon the hunt.

  Simon : The hunt will never end.

  Mordecai : Why do you say that?

  Simon : Because I shan't rest until I take Esther out of bondage.

  Mordecai : She is not enslaved. The King himself is her protector.

  Simon : And he prepares her to be his concubine.

  Mordecai : His queen. Hear me, Simon, I've spoken with Esther and I've seen what I believe to be a dawning of a sincere affection in her for the King. An affection which I don't denied I urged, because I could foresee in it the answer that may lead to the salvation of our people, not alone now but for the ages to come.
